Charles Barkley rips Knicks, calls for Karl-Anthony Towns trade
The New York Knicks aren’t buying into the confidence of NBA legend Charles Barkley.
Despite being a TNT panelist, Barkley expressed skepticism about the Knicks’ chances as title contenders during the halftime show of Tuesday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to him, the Knicks should consider making a strategic move to improve their prospects.
“I think the Knicks need to do something,” Barkley said. “You see how this movie’s going to end.”
The Basketball Hall-of-Famer went on to express his belief that the Cavaliers had a greater potential for success compared to the Knicks. He didn’t hold back in his criticism of New York.
“But for me, the Knicks are like, ‘We play hard. We’re solid,” he said. “But they’re not contenders, so if I’m them, I’m like we got to do something. All those draft picks we got, what ‘What are we saving them for?’
“Go out and make a move because you gotta say to yourself, ‘We’re not in the conversation with Boston and Milwaukee.’”
Host Ernie Johnson interrupted to inquire about Barkley’s suggestion for the player the Knicks should pursue.
Barkley promptly responded with Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“I think the Knicks need to do something… You see how this movie’s gonna end… ‘We play hard. We’re solid.’ But they’re not contenders… This team here is not gonna win anything… You can’t be mediocre and stick with that.”- Charles Barkley on the Knicks pic.twitter.com/qsuu37C7Sm
