Yea it’s terrible. They didn’t mention that kat was basically hurt for more than half a season last year and Naz Reid fill in and they got on an amazing winning streak.
@@BSG30 Randle has played at least 64 games every season besides his rookie year and last year. Something KAT has only done twice in the last 5 seasons.
You shouldn’t be talking about any nba trades if you don’t know about the new cba. It’s not about being cheap. Being a 2nd apron team basically handcuffs your team for 3-5yrs
I'm a Timberwolves follower before the Kevin Garnett era.. Dan I've always liked your opinion but you're wrong.. Timberwolves were just fine without Kat while he was injured a play soft he plays the three and he will be missed.. but the trade wasn't about Julius randle it was about Donte Divincenzo and also keeping Nas Reed.. Ant can play the point, SG and SF.. this team will have a solid all around.. KAT has a hard time playing a full season.. we need younger people around Anthony Edwards
@@britaneejustinmosley1900 False, he played less than that his first year with the Knicks. You think he plays around 72 games per season because he's on vacation? Just like KAT he misses games every year.
They aren't being cheap, there are things you cannot do as far as adding players when you are in the 2nd apron luxury tax bracket. KAT is good, but the Timberwolves won a bunch without him. Donte will be a Key addition to the Wolves this year, he will help out a ton with spacing.
The Randle disrespect. They have similar numbers, but KAT is taller and Randle is tougher, but KAT is way more expensive. KAT better play smart with maximum effort or he will get booed
Randle iso ball and bad decision maker with the basketball. Over dribbles and loses the ball, never showed up even when healthy in the playoffs and is a high usage player with bad morale. The numbers don’t say it all
Then they're stupid because they had a real team and now wtf is this? They have to trade Randle but they won't be able to for 60 days unless they trade straight up.
@@AGHathawaydon’t speak on stuff you don’t understand. Wolves made the trade to save money they need for a Naz Reid extension and Naw extension… I’d rather have those two around Ant instead of two vet minimum guys.
The wolves actually got better . They improved their bench greatly this season. Wolves offense ranked 17th last season but this season Minnesotas offense will rank top 5. The wolves bench has five 40% 3 point shooters
Hopefully, but if Randle is paired in the starting lineup with Gobert, the lanes will be clogged and Ant will have a tough time driving into the lane. Maybe they'll have to stagger Naz and Randles time, like they did with Towns and Gobert.
Man you guys are clueless.. As a Timberwolves fan, KAT is super overrated.. How is this team worse? Kat sat at the 3 and refused to play the paint and provide an interior presence, so teams were doubling ANT on the perimeter.. Kat does nothing but shoot 3's and foul himself out of games.. Randle provides way better interior threat, Divencenzo shot as good as KAT last year???? How is setting up a ton of money coming into ANT's prime being cheap?? We don't want you to be bothered because your take is bad. Clearly you guys never watched this team and what they believe in Naz Reid. Also Kat was a huge problem on the floor defensively outside the nuggets game with match ups.... Please stop taking low hanging fruit and recording takes of a 5 year old.
Before the trade the wolves had the highest payroll. EVEN AFTER they have a top 5 highest payroll. They did this as a basketball move, but in turn also save around 15-25 million. They didn't get worse. This is just such a bad take 😂
I don't look at this trade has a lost for Minnesota. 1) Kat why older than Ant Man. 2) Sometimes Kat disappeared in games. The bench is better with there draft pick Rod Dillingham future PG. Plus Anthony Edwards had a taste of the Playoffs. So he going to be better.
These guys similar to the rest of the mainstream pundits have not watch the Knicks at ALLL to say Kat is clearly better then Randle is all the proof needed.. they just only pay attention to names and popularity.. Randle is a more well rounded player then Kat Kat is just a little more offensively gifted
KAT wasn't a part of any of the Wolves' best lineup combinations, has had injury problems, is in foul trouble all the time and makes way too much money. Naz Reid was a better player and will replace his 20-10 with more versatility if he plays 30 minutes a game.
We can talk numbers all day, and I could make the argument [as a Wolves fan] why Towns is better than Randle. But it's beside the point. There's stats but then there's chemistry. And what i believe both teams found last year was that. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have a genuine kinship that's been built since becoming teammates. The team became what it was because of how those two drove each other to be better. I think people forget too that Towns has been here for 9 years, through multiple head coaches and GMs. This is his team and he welcomed players with open arms. A real leader which I think the Wolves will miss. They got Ant, and the leadership of Connelly and Gobert, but Towns knew this team better than anyone and that's a hard thing to measure.
I’m a Knicks fan and I agree. I’m pissed with many Knicks fans. It’s like they forgot how bad Julius can be. He put up numbers but I’m sure most know that he does not play a winning brand of basketball and last years Knicks absolutely overachieved. They were not beating the top teams with that roster. In the NBA you need stars and I know Karl isn’t a mega star, but he’s definitely an extremely skilled player with a higher ceiling than what the Knicks had
I’ve said it before and I’m a say it again, Jalen Brunson is the second best thing to happen to the Knicks.. the front office is literally a halll game front office
Nobody is being cheap goofy the wolves payroll only dropped 5 mil and we are still the 2nd most expensive team behind the Celtics. For once, I’m happy as could be with ownership. Their still going for it.
@@AGHathaway How? Divencenzo is solid and what they need, and they need to shed that cap for ANTS prime and they like Naz Reid?? Randle provides interior scoring threat this team has been begging for because KAT just stands at the 3 point line. Use your head.
Not sure people even know what a “Superstar” is anymore. It’s part popularity contest and part top player at your position. Can you help carry a team? Kat imo checks those boxes.
Naz is better than KAT. Why put 50 million on the bench. KAT was the weak link. Conley is the second weak link. Donte can play the pg if ANT always has the ball.
That’s the thing about New York fan base we are different.. prime example.. you have Carmelo Anthony and then you have Charles Oakley.. if for one moment you would think melo is a bigger star In NYC than oak.. your dumber than your laugh! New York fan base is the Mecca of fans and sports media, only place In The world someone taking the 4 train is more knowledgeable than you about sports!
We shall see! We got NAZ Reid and now add Donte and Randle. We are deep and got some muscle. 💪 We got out muscled by the Mavs. Watch what happens this year. For the Knicks they got no bench. 😂
@@jaminteal NAZ is just as good as KAT. Obviously you don’t watch. lol 😂 We got Julius, Rudy, and NAZ. We are fine. Plus Luka Garza who was mvp of g-league also. KAT will be the center point for NY as their big man. We don’t need soft big men. We need big men that can mix it up like Julius

So many words spoken just to say “We have no idea what we’re talking about”

They are trying to avoid the 2nd apron, not luxury tax as a whole.

So, how KAT has better defensive metrics? They don't beat Denver without KAT. But sure, you're the Wolves expert.😂
Really, all that needs to be known is look at the trade. It isn't one player for the other. Both teams understand that KAT is better player.
These dudes thought Miami was a championship caliber team last year..
KAT wasn't a part of any of the Wolves' best lineup combinations, has had injury problems, is in foul trouble all the time and makes way too much money. Naz Reid was a better player and will replace his 20-10 with more versatility if he plays 30 minutes a game.

What Naz Reid do better than KAT
To say Naz Reid is better than Karl Anthony Towns is asinine!
"KAT is still young". KAT is 29 years old. They don't even know who DVC is. These takes are horrible.
28, and Dovi 27.

He's a fake all star.

U make a fool of yourself every time u talk ball. U made a fool of yourself on Sam Morril’s podcast too. Hack.
At the end of the day the Knicks got an upgraded.
Not all New Yorkers. Thank god Randle is gone and Divo is a role player. KAT is a superstar. Knicks win 62 games
Respectfully, the guy on the right might not be qualified to discuss the NBA on air. Dan is on point though.
not sure how they were cheap. isn't the guy on a max contract. he's made like hundreds of millions of dollars in his career. but whatever.
Great analysis ignore the people in the comment section. Knicks over achieved and the fans don’t know how to act
