@@RittenhousesRifle laughable, even the broken Knicks last season would have taken them to 5 or 6. I've never seen such a fortunate run of events for a championship team. Only way soft Tatum was getting a ring is if everyone else was injured.
As a Knicks fan, the only problem I have is that Donte is gone and the Nova connection dies a little bit. But in positive, we get a good centre now that Mitch Rob is out for the next 4 months
as a Knicks fan myself, what I hate to see this, here is why. We're giving a all NBA caliber player with a amazing rotation piece in DD along with a pick for KAT. Yes we need the center but for that price I think we would have been better off shopping else where. With that said, Very excited to see KAT at MSG
You absolutely nailed this take Mike! I'm about as unbiased as you can be with these two teams, and I think it makes absolute sense for both. I said it last year when Reid played the Mavs... he can easily start. If I'm the Wolves, I'm totally ok getting out of KAT's 50mil a year contract, getting something of value in return, and letting Naz Reid step up. On the other hand, the Knicks had to get a center, and I think they got the only good one available. Brunson & KAT on offense. Bridges & OG on defense. The Knicks are looking strong strong on paper.
As a timberwolves fan I think this trade was needed, forget the new cba but Kat turns into a role player in the playoffs when we need him to be a star not only did we get a 20 and 10 guy in Randal but added to an already deep team in Dante.
Thank you. As a wolves fan yeah it sucks losing our most loyal player, but it needed to happen. Randle was an all nba player 2 seasons ago, and Donte is a stud. We also get a Detroit 1st. I trust TC fully to make the hard decisions
If you think KAT turns into a role player during the playoffs wait until you see Randle. Love the guy but he’s statistically the worst NBA playoff performer ever
I think it’ll be interesting to see two dawgs (in terms of going out and getting a bucket), like Randall and Edwards play together. I think their mindsets will fuel each other.
I honestly think honestly think Minnesota came out better they got a better player and Julius randle and now they got a shooter who can shoot in any situation he definitely fits better with Ant-Man
@@Jcrills Randle can shoot even from the 3 (obviously not as well as KAT) but he's much better than KAT from the mid range and waaaaay better at playing bully ball down low when they put an undersized guy on him... I like that Julius will post up small PFs without hesitation and punish them... and he doesn't need to play center since Rudy is the Center of the team... I think the Knicks got played big time... Wolves are gonna be scary this year...
Conley, Ant, Jaden, Naz, Gobert, with Divincenzo, Randle and NAW off the bench? that is a crazy 8 man rotation. and there are rookies that could step into a 9th or 10th role for even more depth
If naz will start then who is gonna score points apart from edwards. If Randle will start then him and rudy in defense will be getting cooked day and night
You need some coaching. Your team is fire. I love you guys. I'm a C's fan but once in a while I pick a backup team and 2-3 years ago I picked you guys to watch. You guys gotta get dirtier on D. You just need a coach with balls, fire, and fire in their balls. Dare I say, I think you need T-spoon from the WNBA. She got more balls than the whole team you got.
Just wanted to say great work! I’ve watched you overcome difficult times, I’ve seen you go on awesome vacations, and celebrate life achievements. Keep up the great work! I’m excited to continue to watch your career grow.
IMO it's an A+ trade for Wolves and A- trade for Knicks. Wolves just got 2 really good players and a propable high draft pick from Pistons, so they are the winners in this trade.
Not even close. Ant is gonna love driving into the paint with Randle and Gobert standing around. It was not a bad trade, but Knicks got the best player, and the Wolves got a guy that just doesn't really fit.
KAT just did not mesh well with Ant’s style. When KAT fouls out for the 15th time Knicks fans will know. He’s a good shooter, but is inconsistent and has lapses in judgement. Maybe he’ll get the calls he’s been wanting in NY.
@@Jcrills Wolves need to keep Randle for this whole year and see if it's worth paying him big or sign and trade him next year... cause he's a very good player and I don't see why lazy ass KAT is so much more valuable... Randle gives more effort and he's a good passer too which KAT isn't...
They made moves. Hield, Anderson, Melton. two good defenders, and 1 SHARPSHOOTER. making moves doesnt mean trading 7 first round picks and your entire depth
Did this guy just say the Knicks haven’t made noise since Patrick Ewing, bro I know Carmelo didn’t do much but he was my fav player all time and you can’t leave him out the convo abt the Knicks
You can absolutely leave Carmelo out of the conversation. All those years of selfish iso-ball. Always put himself first. He’s the anti-Brunson. No thanks.
KAT is nowhere near hurt as much as Mitch. That's just ridiculous. The deal had to include Donte to match salary. Otherwise, Knicks lose another 2-3 players, which completely destroys their depth. Knicks win the trade. Huge offensive upgrade, heaps of spacing, lineup versatility, and still have one of, if not the best, perimeter defence in the league. If you take the emotion out of it, this is actually a good trade.
For sure he's not, but KAT isn't worth the money he's getting either... he's lazy and doesn't care about winning... dude literally vanishes in every must win game...
I agree with your A- grade and assessment for the Wolves. I think they had to do it and got a pretty good return for him. I didn't know about the Detroit pick, that could be pretty good...

@@taiwanselman5986 Knicks over reached . And honestly unless Randle was seriously injured and I don’t know.. he is a way better fit than KAT. Again as a Sixers fan thank you. Yal were just calling Embid soft.. well here is your reward, King Cushion
Some guys are ruthless in business and come for every penny they can. Jimmy Butler is that guy. Some guys are willing to sacrifice some money for the betterment of the team. That guy is Jalen Brunson. IIRC Jimmy Butler was homeless and living place to place and living a real rough life before being signed by the Bulls. He’s all about that security. Brunson didn’t grow up like that.
Yea the Minnesota wolves was at there peak with paying there players, but they beat the NUGGETS. The knicks not only got a big man who can stop jokic, embid Giannis ect.. but hes also the best 3 pointer in a the league, won a few playoff games, and I bet NY will be the best defense team in the league in my opinion.
Brunson will be getting crazy assists but not with kat scoring. Kat is a wannabe iso scorer he wants to be like kd but he's too big but he's not big and strong enough to go against big because he's trying to be mobile for the kd like scoring. The best thing I'd say about kat is he's a good shooter not even good he's average
I feel for ya... they got destroyed in this trade, and they have no more moves to make. They guaranteed mediocrity! Celts and 76ers have 3 players who are better than everyone on the Knicks roster.
@@johnpineda8478 you do know timberwolves still have Ant and now got dvinvezo,Naz reid, dillingha’, coming off the bench. If anything this is a W for Timberwolves cuz they still get that first round pick as well
This is a dumb move by the Wolves...this trade would have still been there at the deadline, and probably couldn't have gotten a better deal There is a reason why most NBA teams don't trade 1 week before training camp..Its so close to the start of the season, it's just better to let these guys play for a few months to see where there at..The Wolves just became relevant and they trade away a key piece for nothing...Randall is always injured when it matters, it's just as good as having nothing.
I get the wait until last second to get the best deal angle. Besides that, I'd think it'd be the opposite. If you have the choice, why would you want to shake up your team mid season and expect them to rebuild chemistry right when games really get important. That's like being worried your kid isn't going to be happy with moving, so waiting until the middle of the school year. Also, if Mike is right, they did the trade to stay below the salary cap. I don't know the specifics of that stuff but chances are if your team is bloated when the season starts, then you get penalized.
@@shanetaylor761 yea of course....Most teams are capped, have players they cant move for 6 months, about to begin training camp...There would have been way more players available and teams looking trade at the deadline...More options would have for sure gotten them a better deal...I don't think it would have had ANY cap hits trading him now or at the deadline...Just a dumb impatient move by a dumb front office...Especially considering the success they had last year...
@@AlainNavasDrama see i think as far as team cohesion goes, the earliest the better but every thing else you mentioned makes sense. They could have at least waited a little longer.
Kat been on the trade block since last year maybe the year before that this wasn't unexpected in fact many people say the downfall of the wolves was kat while some say it was rudy. I believe kat is the weakest link out of all of em he doesn't play d for a 7 footer he literally wants to be kd and he chokes when playoffs come around
I would argue that going and adding all-star after all-star is going to hinder New York's growth. I like KAT, I like Mikal Bridges, but I don't know how a team of KAT/Bridges/Brunson is going to do on a Tom Thibodeau-coached team that no longer has the player development guru Johnnie Bryant on the bench. A part of me just tells me that the Knicks are about to suffer a similar fate to the Utah Jazz. The Jazz brought in Bryant, he developed guys like Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles and Gordon Hayward, and the Jazz looked like they were absolutely on the ascent, but then he left in 2020 to go to New York, and you saw the Jazz start to spiral downward and the Knicks started ascending, developing guys like Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein. Now Bryant is in Cleveland. I fully expect Cleveland to start on a similar trajectory as the 2016 Jazz and 2022 Knicks, especially with the good young talent that they already have on that roster with guys like Evan Mobley and Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro and Max Strus. Boston is still the king of the east until somebody takes them down. Philadelphia is about to rise up. Indiana is definitely on the ascent. Everybody loves to talk about the West being loaded, but the East looks very top heavy, as well. It's gonna be tough for the Knicks to repeat last season's success, even with all the new pieces added, and to do something no Knicks team has done in 25 years: make the Eastern Conference Finals. As for Minnesota, there was no choice. They had to make this trade now or be stuck with KAT until his contract ran out. Those were their options because of the second apron. And the NBA knew it. All things considered, this was a homerun for the T-Wolves, one that may have just guaranteed them one of the top three seeds in a VERY loaded West.
And the reason I say it is because KAT is gunna be sooooo butthurt that he got traded and thought he was the cornerstone for the franchise and now they clearly think it’s ANT he’s gunna be so mad that he’s gunna go all in and try to make sure they made the wrong decision! 😂😂
how is Julius Randle questionable for the wolves? great video but that part had me stuck....its better imo....hes not expected to block and he can run the floor like crazy at PF....to me it was a great look for them and better than KAT and Rudy clogging the paint....
Glad Mike brought up Anthony Edwards, cause he is the main reason for this trade. You can talk about salary cap space, but it was AE who pushed him out.
God damn I love seeing teams invested in winning making moves! Also laugh so hard at the lakers, warriors and heat who all did nothing of merit and will be the dumpster fire teams fighting to be bottom tier play in teams as their ceilings. 🤣

@@southernflavamaker yea I am bro.. that’s the whole point. I’m saying that it’s not always been about the money. In bill Russell era they weren’t doing crack. And what about Tim Duncan. He did the same thing took a big pay cut. Idk why you think these players just want the bag. It’s more than that you can see when they win. Ion if you hoop but if you do idk why you not understanding
@@orestis103 man how tf you know what their passion was? You bringing up a era your Mama wasn't born and I didn't say crack, I say heroin and cokeheads....they made enough to get high homie and beat each other up. Mfers comparing a era when gas was 10 cents a gallon lmmfao FoH
Brunson and Donte betrayed by the Knicks, Brunson accepted a huge discount for the team to not break
Shams sucks we would’ve known they were thinking about it with Woj
You act like woj quit over a month ago. He just quit, he would have mentioned it before he quit if he knew something😂
Sixers Fan here 💪🏼.. thank you New York Knicks .
Yeah we messed up
@@taiwanselman5986 Knicks over reached . And honestly unless Randle was seriously injured and I don’t know.. he is a way better fit than KAT. Again as a Sixers fan thank you. Yal were just calling Embid soft.. well here is your reward, King Cushion
Knicks should pick up fultz to come off the bench
Yes
FlightMike Do
Kevin Garnett Vs Anthony Peeler
Folded KG AZZ 🆙 😂😂😂
Why cant jimmy butler do this for the heat 🤦🏾♂️
Emo jimmy coming
Some guys are ruthless in business and come for every penny they can. Jimmy Butler is that guy. Some guys are willing to sacrifice some money for the betterment of the team. That guy is Jalen Brunson. IIRC Jimmy Butler was homeless and living place to place and living a real rough life before being signed by the Bulls. He’s all about that security. Brunson didn’t grow up like that.
N.Y stands for Next Year! Loool and Minnesota get ready for that first round exit.
Minnesota went to the west conference finals. They didn’t need to do anything. KAT is a star and Brunson gonna get crazy assist stats!! 😎 NY won
The cba definitely fcked up many team. The wolves, suns, and nuggets have 3 players who have maxed contract
I think Wolves won this trade, but only because they'll probably be less worse than the knicks from it.
Yea the Minnesota wolves was at there peak with paying there players, but they beat the NUGGETS. The knicks not only got a big man who can stop jokic, embid Giannis ect.. but hes also the best 3 pointer in a the league, won a few playoff games, and I bet NY will be the best defense team in the league in my opinion.
Brunson will be getting crazy assists but not with kat scoring. Kat is a wannabe iso scorer he wants to be like kd but he's too big but he's not big and strong enough to go against big because he's trying to be mobile for the kd like scoring. The best thing I'd say about kat is he's a good shooter not even good he's average
@@ivanperez3378 never saw Towns stopping other bigs , that's why they traded for Gobert coz of softie Towns weakyass defense.
As a knicks fan I understand Randle but Donte was such a core piece, I loved bro😭
Hate to see the Knicks trade DiVincenzo but both these teams definitely improved on paper from this.
lets go NY.... Thibs we see you. Brunson u are the man
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo I’m a Knicks fan and I’m very sad😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm there with you
I feel for ya... they got destroyed in this trade, and they have no more moves to make. They guaranteed mediocrity! Celts and 76ers have 3 players who are better than everyone on the Knicks roster.
I find it funny that the video was about how good each traded pieces were going to a different team. But you could also say the same if they stayed.
Knicks winning the east
i still think boston are on top
Yeah for sure and the Timberwolves will no longer be relevant
I think knicks can compete now
@@johnpineda8478 you do know timberwolves still have Ant and now got dvinvezo,Naz reid, dillingha’, coming off the bench. If anything this is a W for Timberwolves cuz they still get that first round pick as well
Looks good on paper until you consider Kat is soft AF as a big man and wants to be out on the perimeter taking shots.
This is a dumb move by the Wolves...this trade would have still been there at the deadline, and probably couldn't have gotten a better deal
There is a reason why most NBA teams don't trade 1 week before training camp..Its so close to the start of the season, it's just better to let these guys play for a few months to see where there at..The Wolves just became relevant and they trade away a key piece for nothing...Randall is always injured when it matters, it's just as good as having nothing.
I get the wait until last second to get the best deal angle. Besides that, I'd think it'd be the opposite. If you have the choice, why would you want to shake up your team mid season and expect them to rebuild chemistry right when games really get important. That's like being worried your kid isn't going to be happy with moving, so waiting until the middle of the school year. Also, if Mike is right, they did the trade to stay below the salary cap. I don't know the specifics of that stuff but chances are if your team is bloated when the season starts, then you get penalized.
@@shanetaylor761 yea of course....Most teams are capped, have players they cant move for 6 months, about to begin training camp...There would have been way more players available and teams looking trade at the deadline...More options would have for sure gotten them a better deal...I don't think it would have had ANY cap hits trading him now or at the deadline...Just a dumb impatient move by a dumb front office...Especially considering the success they had last year...
@@AlainNavasDrama see i think as far as team cohesion goes, the earliest the better but every thing else you mentioned makes sense. They could have at least waited a little longer.
@@AlainNavasDrama oh yo and I'm a Knicks fan.... so I love their front office lol. They made the right move.
Kat been on the trade block since last year maybe the year before that this wasn't unexpected in fact many people say the downfall of the wolves was kat while some say it was rudy. I believe kat is the weakest link out of all of em he doesn't play d for a 7 footer he literally wants to be kd and he chokes when playoffs come around
The real slap in the face is to hear the words "Julius Randle off the bench," uttered! Julius is a 25-28 ppg and 10 rbg type player!
Subscribing. Let's get this man to 1 million
The East is looking crazy this year
I would argue that going and adding all-star after all-star is going to hinder New York's growth. I like KAT, I like Mikal Bridges, but I don't know how a team of KAT/Bridges/Brunson is going to do on a Tom Thibodeau-coached team that no longer has the player development guru Johnnie Bryant on the bench. A part of me just tells me that the Knicks are about to suffer a similar fate to the Utah Jazz. The Jazz brought in Bryant, he developed guys like Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles and Gordon Hayward, and the Jazz looked like they were absolutely on the ascent, but then he left in 2020 to go to New York, and you saw the Jazz start to spiral downward and the Knicks started ascending, developing guys like Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein. Now Bryant is in Cleveland. I fully expect Cleveland to start on a similar trajectory as the 2016 Jazz and 2022 Knicks, especially with the good young talent that they already have on that roster with guys like Evan Mobley and Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro and Max Strus. Boston is still the king of the east until somebody takes them down. Philadelphia is about to rise up. Indiana is definitely on the ascent. Everybody loves to talk about the West being loaded, but the East looks very top heavy, as well. It's gonna be tough for the Knicks to repeat last season's success, even with all the new pieces added, and to do something no Knicks team has done in 25 years: make the Eastern Conference Finals. As for Minnesota, there was no choice. They had to make this trade now or be stuck with KAT until his contract ran out. Those were their options because of the second apron. And the NBA knew it. All things considered, this was a homerun for the T-Wolves, one that may have just guaranteed them one of the top three seeds in a VERY loaded West.
Dude the knicks are gunna go hard this year. I’m calling it now! They’re gunna make it to the conference finals!
And the reason I say it is because KAT is gunna be sooooo butthurt that he got traded and thought he was the cornerstone for the franchise and now they clearly think it’s ANT he’s gunna be so mad that he’s gunna go all in and try to make sure they made the wrong decision! 😂😂

Will be interesting to see this all play out.
Mike be telling us this KAT departure from Wolves 10months ago..
PS: Just wondering if the termite is still lurking around your studio 🤣🤣🤣
Randle off the bench is crazy crazy insane work… come on bro you know better than that
Did Tibidau agree to this? I remember him coaching Towns in Minnesota
how is Julius Randle questionable for the wolves? great video but that part had me stuck....its better imo....hes not expected to block and he can run the floor like crazy at PF....to me it was a great look for them and better than KAT and Rudy clogging the paint....
Wolves won this trade in a landslide... dumping KAT is a win!
Brunson is one of my favorite players shows humility grit and true leadership.
Now it make sense why CAT didn’t go as hard as he should in the playoffs he knew ANT was there to takeover and they couldn’t afford both of them
its officially the rudy gobert era at minnesota 🔥
We need a video on if ESPN should pay Stephen A Smith $125 million.
“Trading Kat??” 😂 KG is gold man
11:25 no diddy 😂😂
Damn they going all in
Can you make a video on Villanova collage basketball.
Glad Mike brought up Anthony Edwards, cause he is the main reason for this trade. You can talk about salary cap space, but it was AE who pushed him out.
I remember that video! 😂😂
Hopping on 2k soon as I get home lol 😂🔥
Knick gotta be tough next year they finally did it
God damn I love seeing teams invested in winning making moves! Also laugh so hard at the lakers, warriors and heat who all did nothing of merit and will be the dumpster fire teams fighting to be bottom tier play in teams as their ceilings. 🤣
1:58 LMAOOOO😂
