    I actually like this trade for the Knicks a lot. You don't like to see Randle and DiVincenzo go but KAT fits Brunson better offensively. I believe this move will unlock Brunson even more. Also because of the emergence of Brunson as a superstar player it changes their thought process on who to add. Brunson is now a superstar and, Towns is a star player. I also believe Mikal Bridges will return to his all NBA defensive form. OG Anunoby is the key, I don't view him as a 82 game player but if he can play 60 or more games and, be healthy for the playoffs the Knicks will be hard to beat. I also don't think the Knicks are done, they might still add another piece. As presently constructed I like their starting five and, I don't believe their bench is as thin as some people think. Deuce McBride really came on last season in a major way, I am high on Tyler Kolek even though he is a rookie, Precious Achiuwa was really good last season. The key position on the bench will be the 3 and, 5 but I actually like McBride, Kolek and, Achiuwa off the bench. If KAT is bought in I believe they can contend in the EAST

KAT Is Going To Play The 4 and Who he will face some times he will Some advantages and some times not, Down the Stretch he will then be put at the 5 and OG Will Drop To The 4 cause KAT Last time We saw him Had a Very Big Issue ( That is Defense), And I Mean Ball On The Floor Defense, Not Rebounding, so When He Gets switch and have to deal with a Joel Embiid Handle and Footwork That’s Problem, so Slow Down On at this Knicks For the Finals Story.
