What’s the best thing to do if you want to escape the realities of life—or in this case, stressful trade rumors and an unsuccessful NBA season heartbreak? Well, ask Karl Anthony-Towns. Or even better, take a look at his girlfriend, Jordyn Woods’ Instagram grid. Uploading a carousel of bare-faced, sun-kissed photos, the content creator gave followers a sneak peek into what was a perfect tropical paradise for the couple. “much needed recharge ✨,” read the caption to the post.

But, like they say, it’s only so far you can escape reality. Back home barely a week ago, Woods has already started going back to her old routine—one that doesn’t allow any slip-ups. Meaning?

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the former ‘Life of Kylie’ star revealed a life hack that has reportedly done wonders to her skin. “After vacation I cut out dairy, sugar, gluten, and processed foods,” Woods wrote in text overlaying a photo of her face with half of her forehead visible. “I needed a break and it’s done wonders to my skin!” Truth be told, this is surprising coming from a person who’s never believed in a strict diet.

Talking about her food habits, the socialite pointedly revealed in 2020, “I personally believe in creating a sustainable life. Everything is okay in moderation. I don’t believe in those quick diets, because for me, I want to make sure I maintain a healthy lifestyle. So, I’m not trying to just do some like quick, ‘Let me diet and be harsh for myself.’ If I want to have a cookie here and then I’m going to have the cookie. Period. But I try to be smart.” But, this time though, she might have a solid reason for skipping.

Notably, dairy contains hormones and growth factors that may stimulate oil (sebum) production, contributing to acne. Sugar contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin, while also causing diabetes in severe case. As for gluten, well, that’s more genetic. As for gluten, while we’re not sure if she’s allergic, but in case she is, a sensitivity can cause rashes, eczema, or acne to show up on the skin. And processed foods needs no introduction.

But while her life is filled with innovative hacks, her boyfriend still seeks to find solace in his trade rumors. And after talks linking him to the Blazers, another idea sees Karl-Anthony Towns booted from the Big Apple.

Karl-Anthony Towns linked for a move away, surprisingly, for Al Horford

The Knicks‘ total payroll sits at roughly $188.9 M, which puts them $10.7 M over the first luxury-tax apron ($178.1 M), and just under the second apron ($188.93 M)—meaning they’re hard-capped under that second apron. That in itself lowers their possibilities to make trades that could make a difference. They’re vitally in need of some supporting firepower to Jalen Brunson. That’s exactly what led them to throw the kitchen sink to get KAT in. But his ECF performances made on thing clear – his huge cap hit and defensive inefficiencies make him a prime candidate.

To be honest, this isn’t the first time KAT’s been linked with a move away. This idea isn’t for that supporting cast. But it could still boost areas of the Knicks roster that will help them in the long run. The good thing is that New York has first-round pick swap rights in 2026, 2030, 2032. To add to that, they also have additional second-round picks over the remaining decade that can be acquired via trades.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Karl-Anthony Towns' time with the Knicks already running out?

Have an interesting take?

“A couple of other names to consider with the taxpayer midlevel exception are Spencer Dinwiddie, Trey Lyles and Al Horford. As for minimum players, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Knicks brought back Delon Wright and/or Landry Shamet,” wrote James L. Edwards of The Athletic.
