He wrote: "Trading KAT should be priority #1 for the Knicks."

Many fans commented on O'Connor's post.

@GoIdenState: "He’s a Phoenix Sun"

@RobertSportsBet: "Trade the guy responsible for getting them to the ECF while not having any resources to get someone better.

Awful take."

@luis_m_22: "- Fire Thibodeau. Hire Malone.
- Keep Kat (but he needs to improve his defense over the summer)
- They’ll be contending the next couple of years"

@BoxingAttention: "No it shouldn't. Mikal bridges, josh hart and 3 first for Giannias should be the only move they try and make."

@LetsTalkMavs: "Wild how Randle and Kat are now must trade players"

@FeelLikeDrew: "Nobody wants that contract, he’s bout to make like 60 mill per year"

Towns finished his first year in New York with productive averages of 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 52.6% from the field and 42.0% from the three-point range in 72 games.

He had spent the first nine seasons of his career playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
