The Knicks’ championship dreams are colliding with payroll reality: Karl-Anthony Towns, their MVP-caliber anchor, may not get a max extension due to the NBA’s second tax apron. With Jalen Brunson already taking a discount to build this title team, the Knicks face a brutal choice — either break up their core or risk losing key players like McBride to the minimum market. This isn’t just their problem — the Celtics and Thunder are already dismantling their title squads to stay under the cap. Towns, 30, is likely to demand his due, and the Knicks may have to trade another top-six piece to make it work. The championship roster is already on the chopping block.
