Does KAT Make the Knicks the Biggest Celtics Threat?

A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis discuss the recent trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks in exchange for a package centered around Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. Did it make the Knicks a viable threat to beat the Celtics? Are there still Eastern Conference teams with a better chance?

Plus, they cover the Celtics’ upcoming games in Abu Dhabi, and a potential future for the NBA on an international stage.
