Bombshell Trade Update. Knicks trade reports are swirling right now.

Knicks insider Ian Begley has been dropping significant trade updates. Recently, he said the following about Tyler Kolek. And we need to talk about it. Let's take a look at exactly what he said. According to Ian Begley, in a big picture sense, Tyler Kolek is either solidifying his role or is he more so increasing his trade value. If you just look at the landscape and Andre Drummond and where things are. Look, Drummond has been good, but I don't know that he's the guy who's going to be there in April. If that's the case, Kolek could be in some kind of deal to bring in a backup center.

This is something to note. That's significant. The Knicks are still looking to add another big to this team. But Begley wasn't done there. He also dropped these trade updates about Mikael Bridges and Carl Anthony Townes. Take a look at this.

According to Begley, if the Knicks want to make a trade for one of their starters, yes, Mikael Bridges is the easiest deal to make. I think for all the reasons stated, he also has value around the league, just in terms of what he's done over the course of his career. I think teams would certainly take this start to the season into account in any Bridges deal if you're talking about trading for him. But they know what he's done in the league, what he's capable of, and he's played different roles. With regards to Carl Anthony Towns, Ian Begley said the following while providing Knicks trade updates. According to Begley again, obviously, Carl Anthony Towns is playing at an extremely high level. The tricky thing is though, with the extension, if you get into that January territory and there's no extension agreed to, what do you do?

If you're the Knicks, I think you have to at least look at the trade scenarios out there for Carl Towns. Know what you could potentially be getting back. Do your homework on that. In that scenario, no extension in January, then Carl Anthony Towns could be a free agent this coming off season. And that's not a place you want to be in if you're the Knicks. Losing him potentially for nothing after not getting anything back for Mitchell Robinson, that would be poor asset management, among many other things. The Knicks better not let that happen with Carl Anthony Towns. They better pay that man immediately. But even Josh Hart, when he weighed in on the situation, it sounds like he's expecting a trade to happen too.

As you can see, Josh Hart is basically indicating that a change is needed. According to Hart, there are several different ways you can look at this. You can look at it, if they have it going, cool, good. You can also look at it like, okay, maybe something else has to change. Hart didn't specify that change, but logic indicates he meant the trade. Three years ago, Leon Rose faced a similar conundrum. Too many guards, not enough minutes. Josh Hart also said, but there's going to be good days with that, and bad days with that. But whatever allows the Knicks the best opportunity and chance to win, that's the most important thing. But I know you guys are waiting for that bombshell part of the report, and if you were waiting for that, don't worry, I got you guys right now. Without any reason, without any warning, Ian Begley dropped this following trade update, and after reading it, you'll understand why it's a bombshell.
