Karl-Anthony Towns would love to extend his Knicks stay as contract talks await
NY Post
BOSTON — Despite no traction on a contract extension, Karl-Anthony Towns said his relationship with the Knicks front office remains strong and he hopes to continue his career with the team.
“Hell yeah, hell yeah. I want to stay here,” Towns said. “Obviously get a chance to be home, see my family. It means more than the money, you know.
“So just to be able to be here with the fans, be with the family. It means a lot. I would like it to continue.”
Towns and the Knicks failed to reach an agreement during the extension window before the Oct. 20 deadline, when he was eligible for two years and $150 million tacked on to his current deal. If a deal is finalized before or during next season, it could be in the range of four years, $260 million.
He will again be eligible for an extension after the 2026 NBA Finals, according to ESPN Front Office Insider Bobby Marks.
“Me, [team president Leon Rose] and [Senior VP of B-ball operations Gersson Rosas] and everyone, we’re great,” Towns said. “I’ll go have lunch with them right now. We’re good.”
It’s not you, it’s me.
Not everyone wants to wake up in the city that never sleeps.
