Mamu can shoot, dish the rock, put the ball on the floor and run the break, finish in traffic. Going to be a special offensive squad in LA.

To put a bow on this, for now, Karl-Anthony Towns' public response to the Knicks' public statement regarding the front office tabling extension talks until later in the season:
"It was news to me. Very disappointed to say the least. Let's state the obvious. It's business, but there is business on the court for us to handle."

Without an agreement today, the $9.6M QO will expire at 11:59PM ET.
The QO can be extended but that is more unlikely.
Here is the difference of Jalen Duren signing with Detroit for 5/200M compared to the Qualifying Offer and max salary in 2027.
