KAT Trade
Karl-Anthony Towns is now a New York Knick—how does that trade change the landscape for both the Knicks and Timberwolves? What held up this trade for so long, and why was a third team needed?

Contenders or Pretenders
Who’s for real and who’s faking it? We’re doing a rundown of the East and West to call out the true contenders and the pretenders. Are the Celtics as unbeatable as they look? What’s the ceiling for the Knicks post-trade? And can Dame and Giannis make it work in Milwaukee? Over in the West, are the Dallas Mavericks legit championship contenders? How about the Lakers—are they all heart or just pretenders this season? Find out our thoughts as we make some bold predictions.
