    i feel bad all the players involved in this trade, Divo getting traded before getting to play ball with his homies, Randle who helped kickstart this change for the Knicks not being able to see it through and KAT after making a WCF run.

      It seems like a Knicks to me. They looked their best without Randle on the court last year and his fit with this new roster is questionable to say the least. Trading him now is likely max value especially with his contact situation.
      Donte’s minutes are already replaced with the addition of Mikal and OG being healthy.
      Not to mention, they needed another center. They can afford to start KAT at center during the regular season and then in matchups with teams like the bucks or 76ers they can go big with Brunson, Mikal, OG, KAT, and Robinson and that’s elite rebounding, perimeter defense, and spacing!

    I don’t know how much of this trade was because of Randle or because of Naz Reid. Because if there is one thing Reid proved is that he could easily be a starter. But I don’t think Randle would be happy to come off the bench. Reid and Towns kind of played a similar role so I could see the thought being that Reid was enough. I think there is a chance Randle only plays there till the trade deadline and is dealt again.

      Randle is such a worse fit. He demands the ball more, spaces the floor less, and isn’t any better at defense than KAT is.
      This feels like a train wreck to me. Randle is a very emotional player, when things aren’t going well he really really shows it and that includes not getting the ball enough. He’s known as the peak example of a body language guy. Shots aren’t falling and suddenly he’s slumping his shoulders and not playing defense, I don’t think that meshes with ant.
      Not to mention the spacing of playing Randle and Gobert together… say goodbye to Anthony Edwards attacking the rim because people will let Randle shoot, but they stay home with KAT.

    For those ready for a potential reason for this, I have a guess.
    Kat was on the books for 60mil thru 2028
    Rudy has a player option next summer
    Randle has a player option next summer
    Together they’d be 75 mil off the books and no kat.
    This would allow you to resign naz and go big game hunting with a young core with the next face of the league as bait.
    In an ideal world I’m sure they’d have liked to run it back but the ability to move kats money for randles which comes off with goberts after this year meant it had to happen now.

      They woulda been better off dumping Goberts salary than doing this. I’m sorry but what Gobert does for this team is great, but it’s pretty replaceable. If you replaced Rudy Gobert with Daniel Theis, this team doesn’t get much worse. And Daniel Theis is the “we can’t trade for anybody and nobody wants to sign here” option.
      But KAT? What he did for this team by being virtually a second center defensively while being one of the best floor spacers in the league on offense… I don’t think people realize how big of a downgrade this is despite Randle being not much worse than KAT in a vacuum.
      It’s not just about talent, it’s about fit. If you swap Jokic and Embiid on each of their teams, BOTH TEAMS GET WORSE! Randle doesn’t fit what the wolves do. The whole reason they were winning with Rudy was because their ability to space the floor around him, Randle can’t do that.

    You not seeing the vision Kenny. Wolves trading for KD right now.

    Now the Knicks don’t have a shooting guard or a starting caliber power forward. They got worse and now have to pay a playoff choker 50 mil a year until 2028. Why the fuck did they do this

      Hart is a SG and KAT can play PF after Mitch Rob comes back. They may not have a microwave off the bench but the starters have plenty firepower
