Sources: Pelicans extend Jose Alvarado on 2-year, $9M deal

How the Knicks' and Wolves' unique problems led to this unlikely trade

A hole at center and a lack of ownership clarity led these two teams with championship aspirations to work with each other to bolster their hopes of getting to June.

Fantasy basketball: Karl-Anthony Towns set to provide value on Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns fill an important role for the Knicks at center while potentially regaining his value as a first-round fantasy option.
