I agree. If you want to win a championship, you need guys who step up in the playoffs. No one has ever said that about Towns.... or Randle for that matter. I see the Thunder coming out of the West if they're healthy. Not sure about the East but the Celtics are still the team to beat.
@@randygraham926 as a mavs fan I agree , the thunder were already the number 1 seeed & they got bettter . Like seriously they lose giddey and gain caruso & hartenstien ? Damn that’s tough.

I think the Knicks should have kept Hartenstein, cheaper & more consistent, but Kat can definitely ball & they needed a big. People are overlooking how good this is for the Wolves. They have Gobert & Reid for bigs already, so didn't need Kat, & now have DiVincenzo for amazing depth at the perimeter. This guy would be a starter on most teams. Even if Randle gets injured again, Reid & McDaniels are there. The Timberwolves are SERIOUSLY stacked.
I think the knicks losing donte is being heavily underated right now, they are gonna feel that one big time. He was the opposite of kat he played big in the clutch
Towns will be good on the Knicks... Until he gets flustered in a high pressure situation, loses his cool and takes himself out of the games with the dumbest fouls imaginable. Who's going to protect him from the media in NYC?
I agree. You're paying him 50 MILLION and he goes completely missing in too many games. And he makes poor decisions. If the Knicks fans start chewing his ass out ... he will quit.
I agree also. Usually when he first gets the ball, he fires up a 3 or he bulls his way to the basket picking up his 1st offensive foul. A few minutes later will try another drive and run someone over. Picks up another foul swiping at the ball beginning of 2nd quarter and there he is. Sitting on the bench until the 3rd quarter.
@@amazonfinds9157you think Randle is going to give any ground to a guy like Naz Reid? As in Julius Randle? He'll shove Naz in a wood chipper if he could for more playing time. Randle is all about his.

Man Brunson did them a HUUUUGE favor with the payout, you rarely see that these days. They have a few overpaid guys, OG is a solid player, but the contract is crazy, as is Bridges. I think KAT is a legit max player, but can be a bit frustrating. Still a farrrr better situation than say Denver though, that team is getting hard carried by Jokic. Murray is NOT a max player, and we saw that this past postseason when he actually played against real playoff defense, but it's MPJ contract is the one that blows me away. They legit blew a window because they gave him the same extension Luka and SGA got, absolute madness.
The Warriors with Igoudala and Draymond Green peaked because 1-5 could switch defensively and create offensively. The knicks had 8 guys who could do that effectively, before this trade. They threw that possible versatility away for KAT. A clumsy 7-footer who just showed all his deficiencies in the playoff series against the Mavs. The knicks will regret this trade ROYALY.
Bucks championship window closed because they got rid of their best clutch 3point shooter for a bust in the playoffs KAT? ez conference finals run vs Celtics. Dame and Giannis gon whoop that ah
Celtics may not have a top-5 player but they have a Tatum-Brown combo which is quite close to a Jordan-Pippen combo or Malone-Stockton. They also endured so many failures in the playoffs and NBA finals losses so that championship didnt come easy. Celts have so many good role players too and they have White and Holiday who are toop-5 on defense. Randle is at best a third-option. This is bad for the Twolves. Naz Reid is not KAT. He's a good role player but not in KAT's level. For many games, Ant was passive, very passive. He might develop into a legit superstar but you always need a 1-2 or even a 1-2-3 punch anyway to go deep in the playoffs. Hopefully someone else steps up but I highly doubt it. Playoffs is about counter-attacks. Even if someone is good on one game, coaches will plan a counter-attack and neutralise that player. The all-stars and superstars rise above these counterattacks. This trade is great for the Knicks. Brunson & KAT are the 1-2 punch. Then you have Bridges which can create shots as well and you have good role players too. Playoff contender? Hopefully. ECF? They should go for it. NBA Finals? Why not?
i kinda feel like KAT had great growth last season though. he was committing less bad fouls, and actually hustling on defense for once. imagine if he improves on that again, he could actually be a top player in the league this upcoming season.
Bob McAdoo, Spencer Haywood, Larry Johnson, Glen Rice, Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady...Knicks have a knack for collecting big name players 5+ years past their prime. add KAT to the list.
@@uberneanderthalhard to really say that when typically nba players thrive during the ages of 28-33. His best season might be ahead of him still. Sure past 30 I’ll agree with you, but KAT still has room to grow.
@@AClaiderman that reminds me, I forgot Walt Bellamy on the list. he's another player who peaked at 22, declined and went to the Knicks at 27, where he never had another all-star season and continued to decline. the parallel is identical.
@@uberneanderthal Well I won’t argue with that. As a Knicks fan? A part of me understands NY is where a lot of players careers ended. I’m just in denial. I’m just waiting for them to finally sign Zion. At age 37.
As a New York native who has lived most of his life in Minnesota, I’m a huge fan of both teams and follow them closely. At a base level, I think this trade makes sense. The Knicks had a serious deficit at Center after Hartenstein signed with the Thunder. Also with Kat’s max contract kicking in, and all the draft picks traded away in the Gobert trade, the Wolves had zero flexibility for years to come. You could also argue that the Wolves maxed out their potential last year, and the competition in the league is only getting stronger. I hope I’m wrong, but ultimately I feel like this is a lose-lose trade. I think every single player involved will play worse on their new team, and will have a negative effect on the current team chemistry which has been a strength for both teams. I don’t think this is a good fit for anyone.
I think this is a w for the knicks, kat is the type of player they need he’s a good shot maker and with the knicks defensive coach will be awsome pair with him
Randle doesn't shoot 3's?!! 04:53 If you've ever watched a game or even a highlight, you wouldn't have said it. He's 33% 3 point shooter over his career.
@@ry_an. If it's good enough for Giannis, it's good enough for Randle. Cant leave him open. Nobody expects him to be Steph. What good did Kat's 3 pointers do for the Wolves. Never even got to the Finals. Wolves was getting very expensive.
Kat will probably even bring more fans with the big dominican community in NY. If they can get thim to play defense like he did on Jokic last year he'll be a plus.
This will hurt Minny short term. The space KAT created around Gobert will be missed. Betting on a big development for Naz Reid it feels like. But long-term this should be good but I would have been happier to see Gobert for Randle done. Gobert plus Robinson would make a scary interior for the Knicks as you can play 1 or the other the entire game so elite rim protection for the full 48mins. Randle, KAT and Reid is a solid front court rotation for the wolves. Wolves do have some young guys like Miller coming up, so might be counting on their development too in the near future.
And finally the East is gonna be more exciting to watch and balanced like the West coast. Celtics, 76ers, Knicks all Tear 1 team now and the Bucks and Pacers are following right behind.
I think Wolves management had been mulling a KAT trade for some time now, they've realized he isn't taking them all the way. This is a way to get flexibility while auditioning Naz Reid for a bigger role. Randle will also be stoked to play better to get a new contract, and whatever happens his contract gives them options for other trades, either going all-in for winning now (Kevin Durant) or building a core around Anthony Edwards (role players, picks). Randle was the odd man out in New York, and the trade was bound to happen, I just didn't see it happening too soon. Robinson's recovery is likely to take longer than expected, so Knicks brass had to pull the trigger. KAT is a better offensive option than Randle, and he will be Brunson insurance down the line. The loss of DiVicenzo is not major, talent-wise, but I think it'll hurt their chemistry some.
I like it for both. They don’t have to keep Randle and they got a great shooter in Donte. They need a guard like him since their bench is pretty weak. It can be a win if Randle can play at all star level
My bet for ANT Man to be scoring leader next year is looking even better. I doubt the wolves are keeping Randle they just wanted devincinzo they will trade Randle now as well
I feel bad for donte ,the knicks needed his shooting and his defence and he was a great addition to the team, and meshed well with his fellow villanova teammates, And he’s just gone,just like that! It sucks for him, now who is gonna be the knick’s best 3 point shooter?
I could see Minnesota being a better team after this. They got a solid rotation piece in donte, Julius randle is going to play with an extra chip on his shoulder... And he and Gobert should easily be able to play on the floor together... nas Reid is ready to step up....Plus they got a pick and out of the kat contact they didn't want... Trade also works out for NY as randle wasn't really going to mesh with these guys. Win win
People sponsored by underdog were at the Diddy parties! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just like LeBron.... 🤷 That maid outfit tells us EVERYTHING we need to know about LeBron 😋🍆🥴🍆🤤🍆🤣🍆

I think the Knicks should have kept Hartenstein, cheaper & more consistent, but Kat can definitely ball & they needed a big.

He just needs to handle it better than randle and that's not saying much

Trade also works out for NY as randle wasn't really going to mesh with these guys. Win win

I’m confused if Kat contract was a bad contract then why did Minnesota sing him to a max deal!? Like they didn’t have to do that if u was going to trade him anyway. You could come a sign and trade
It was all about contract 💰 for the Wolves.
Julius Randle is a very MID nba player
i dont think averaging 23,8 and 5 is mid looks like all star to me
