The Knicks have a Jalen Brunson problem that a Karl-Anthony Towns trade won't necessarily solve
But even if Towns were to be dealt, the Knicks would still have a Brunson problem on defense. Yes, we're all aware of Brunson's unimpeachable offensive value. He's about as good as it gets. But in today's NBA, the net value of even the most elite offensive points guards is being called into major question if the tradeoff is defensive ineptitude.
