Karl-Anthony Towns has proven the Knicks must keep him

The New York Knicks have a major decision to make about Karl-Anthony Towns, and Sal Licata believes the answer is obvious: pay KAT.

Despite the Knicks' frustrating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sal explains why New York is in a better position than it was at this point last season and why Towns has emerged as one of the team's most important players.

After previously questioning the wisdom of a major long-term extension, Sal admits his thinking has changed. Towns' scoring, passing, versatility, and chemistry with Jalen Brunson have strengthened his argument for a new contract.

Should the Knicks commit to Karl-Anthony Towns for the long term? Can New York keep its championship core together while managing other contract decisions?

Watch Sal break down KAT's performance, the Knicks' roster, and the future of their championship window.
