Amid swirling rumors of the Knicks’ potential interest in acquiring Timberwolves’ powerhouse Karl-Anthony Towns, recent comments from Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau have added fuel to the speculations.

“When you look at an offensive player, particularly a big, the skill set that he has… there’s nothing he can’t do offensively. He has continued to get better I think. He had some injuries to deal with… He’s really, really gifted,” as reported by Stefan Bondy of New York Post.

Despite previous concerns about their compatibility in Minnesota, sources reveal Thibodeau’s potential interest in coaching Towns again.

With rumors of Towns potentially becoming available in the trade market, the Knicks, according to insider sources, are actively monitoring his situation, intensifying the speculation surrounding the potential move.
