'Can't trust his organisation': Shaquille O'Neal issues verdict on Karl-Anthony Towns' Knicks extension

Shaquille O'Neal has weighed in on the ongoing contract extension standoff between Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks, expressing distrust toward the organization. Towns, 30, played a significant role in the Knicks' NBA Championship victory last season, making his extension widely expected to be straightforward. Despite those expectations, negotiations have dragged on for several months without resolution as of October 28, 2026.
