I think the starting lineup on opening night could very well be KAT, OG, Mikal, Brunson and Achiuwa with Hart coming off the bench as the 6th man. Precious actually might work well in this lineup, esp down in the dunker’s spot while KAT is picking and popping up top with Brunson
It was a semi sweet media day. First time in 5 years we arent out there with RJ and Jules and the main guys. Feels a little different. Shoutout to those guys who have been traded or moved on!
It took maturity from Thibs & Katt for this trade to happen so please understand that they were not the people they are today when they were aligned in the past but both needed to happen
I'm looking at this front office as "their word/decision is set in stone (a.k.a. can do no wrong)." I believe everything that they have done (w/ the roster) has been meticulously gone over in every direction that can be done and then some. If players can't tamper (per FK) I'm sure the Captain has had a conversation or 2 with a lot of pertinent people who would have a reputable idea. Not to mention Thibs spent 2 years up there "he's got friends." I'm just sayin... as to whether this is going to work or not. So far I am whole heartedly saying In Leon We Trust! Go Knicks!
Obviously, Simms is very limited offensively, but I don’t understand why few Knicks voices seem to think he’s legitimately an 8-12 minute rotation player. He always rebounds the ball, and he’s a better defender in space than he’s given credit for. He also has shown decent post footwork with a baby hook and floater. He doesn’t do it very often, but he’s capable of it.
It’s sad that arguably 2 of our biggest contributors besides Jalen during last seasons playoff run are no longer with the Knicks. One by choice (Hartenstein) and the other traded away (Dante).
question: why hasn’t the trade been finalized yet because if they were gonna sign the players and send it to charlotte the math works but for some reason it hasn’t happened yet. why do u think that is? another possible move? math wise i don’t see the delay and especially with the roster change they should get done quickly for training camp because it’s not only gonna help KAT but everyone else in camp who are technically wait on him in a sense
Knicks interviews should’ve been rescheduled later this week when the KAT tree gets finalized because what’s the point of having them there at media day when they can’t talk about it.
The only thing I can think is that their original offer when it was Randle and Mitch included the Pistons pick. When they had to cough up Donte, they couldn’t pull it back.
Y’all really need to add a timestamp for when basketball talk starts, I love when Fred is on but usually those 5 first minutes of these dudes flirting is uncomfortable
TIMESTAMPS: 3:42 - Vibes at Knicks Media Day 7:35 - How will the KAT/Randle/DDV trade affect the locker room? 12:37 - Jalen Brunson's potential role in welcoming Karl-Anthony Towns to the "family" 21:24 - Did Thibs want to do this trade? 24:08 - Will Karl-Anthony Towns primarily play Center? 31:24 - How do the Knicks value Mitchell Robinson? 35:47 - How shocked was Fred that this long rumors trade finally happened? 40:20 - Biggest reason WHY the Knicks made this trade 46:48 - How upset was DiVincenzo about coming off the bench & how much did that play into him being traded? 53:27 - What would the opening night lineup have been had the Knicks not made this trade? 53:52 - What will their opening night lineup be now? 54:08 - What will the Knicks new second unit be? 56:33 - Will Mitchell Robinson be a Knick the next time he plays?
@@GdnationNYAgreed .. ppl always find something to be miserable about instead of enjoying what should be paid for content ; but instead ungrateful ppl choose to express their ungrateful mess amongst us real fans
trading Josh Hart is not thinking outside the box, it's boxing inside the think. AKA, it doesn't make sense ... too much of the team identity, and he's much closer to Brunson, and Thibs loves him too much.
I say the same. He’s actually perfect in the starting line up with this team. He boards, blocks shots, can switch, decent cutter. I love him in the starting 5.
KAT averaged 11+ rebounds per game for his career at center before he got moved out of position for Gobert. People need to stop overthinking it. Brunson Hart Bridges OG and Towns is the obvious starting and closing 5.
@vroomdaddy1115 mitch did that with 10 less minutes basically n had 4x the offensive rebounding tho. But I do agree it's probably overstated. Rebounding missed shot was important when we had no shooters. Mitch was crucial but now we have three legit shooters on the floor. Good times ahead
TIBBS HASN'T GOT LONG TO MAKE THIS WORK. BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T MAKE THIS WORK HE WILL BE GONE QUICK FAST AND IN A HURRY AND ( DANNY HURLEY) AND ( JAY WRIGHT ) WILL BE WAITING IN THE WINGS.
Don't see that. Dolan is very hands off right now and Rose seems to really like Thibs. Also to date the team hasn't significantly underachieved so why would Thibs be on the clock?
MATTHEW CANT QUIT US!!!

100% what I'm feeling. We can't have OG at 4 cus he ain't gonna mop up those boards n if KAT is stretching n shooting, who gonna be inside?
I already miss Fred Katz...the Athletic did us knicks fans dirty lol...but congrats to Fred, I assume he got the bag with this new gig. LGK!
Fred pulled an IHart. Clearly.
Lmao great cut at the end, great episode as always, thanks guys
Thank god for KFS to get me through this
There’s never been a more perfect ending to an episode of anything anywhere. Ever.
3:10 they have this exact convo on a Roommates pod and Matt also said Gandolfini and I can’t stop imagining it
seems kinda silly but i'm relieved to see fred still w/ us kfs fam after his big promotion - YOU ARE STUCK w/ US FRED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
It was a semi sweet media day. First time in 5 years we arent out there with RJ and Jules and the main guys. Feels a little different.
Shoutout to those guys who have been traded or moved on!
Katz and Shoot is the greatest podcast name of all time. Whoever thought of it deserves an Oscar.
Great take on Divo, Katz.
I'm 8 minutes in and not one Pistons mention. Good job fellas!
9-man rotation:
C: Towns (Sims for now, Robinson eventually)
PF: Achiuwa (Anunoby and Towns)
SF: Anunoby (Hart and Bridges)
SG: Bridges (Hart, Shamet, and McBride)
PG: Brunson (McBride)
10th man: Sims (when Robinson returns).
11th man: Payne.
John realizing how bad that second unit is was hilarious. 😂
Fred Is my favorite... saw him with cp ( the franchise)but here he Is fantastico. Bravi
Great question Marci at @13:14
Still can’t believe in 1 yr we got OG Bridges and Kat! Leons a god damn magician

Obviously, Simms is very limited offensively, but I don’t understand why few Knicks voices seem to think he’s legitimately an 8-12 minute rotation player. He always rebounds the ball, and he’s a better defender in space than he’s given credit for. He also has shown decent post footwork with a baby hook and floater. He doesn’t do it very often, but he’s capable of it.
He sucks
Deuce should start and if he doesn’t he will play himself into the starting lineup sooner or later. Let’s go Knicks.
Precious is the way to go at the 4.
It’s sad that arguably 2 of our biggest contributors besides Jalen during last seasons playoff run are no longer with the Knicks. One by choice (Hartenstein) and the other traded away (Dante).

I want to see what Pac-man (Dadiet) does in the preseason!
I can’t believe Fred pulled an IHart
i like the idea of trading mitch for trey murphy and running precious and jericho as our backup bigs
Thank you for saying it Fred! Cam is not an anyone player lol😂
Daniel Day Lewis un-retired from acting one day after this pod dropped, clearly to play Thibs
Knicks interviews should’ve been rescheduled later this week when the KAT tree gets finalized because what’s the point of having them there at media day when they can’t talk about it.
They don't want Kat to talk to the media
I don’t think they want anyone discussing the trade with the press for as long as possible.
Very disappointed that Andrew didn’t name this The Intangible Effect of Friendship
Is there any truth to the rumors that DeVo would not be happy coming off the bench.
One thing caught my attention… Mitch is as good as Gobert but he just isn’t on the court as much as him.
Andrew is drinking apple juice lol
Andrew is the best lmfao
Gene Hackman is playing Thibs in the movie, end of story
Well if the Wolves loved Divo then why add a first round pick rather than 2 seconds
The only thing I can think is that their original offer when it was Randle and Mitch included the Pistons pick. When they had to cough up Donte, they couldn’t pull it back.
Let's bring back Quentin Grimes off the bench!

Agreed. Awkward. They should get a room or something
@KnickFilmSkool why are you even enabling this fan reaction. You guys can banter about everything, that is why this is always an enjoyable interview!
@@GdnationNYAgreed .. ppl always find something to be miserable about instead of enjoying what should be paid for content ; but instead ungrateful ppl choose to express their ungrateful mess amongst us real fans
Depth is an absolute mirage on any basketball team.
tell that to the celtics who won on depth
Duece starts at the two. Calling it now
Real possibility. Have him guard the opposing team's point guard, Mikal & OG on the wings, bring in Hart for energy + closing.
trading Josh Hart is not thinking outside the box, it's boxing inside the think. AKA, it doesn't make sense ... too much of the team identity, and he's much closer to Brunson, and Thibs loves him too much.
018 Edmund Circles
TJ Warren
Katz he needs to stop talking stupid about Robinson and KAT
Start Sims at center, hart, duece, p.a. off the bench
Sims is ass
Kevin James should play Thibs
Dood talked for like 42 straight minutes about nothing. Well damn
I am gonna try not to keep you up all night... That's what she said 😅😅😅
48450 Cassandre Road
Randle is gone now. Can we please retire Bernard King's #30 jersey already?
KAT needs a rebounder doing the dirty work inside. Gotta bench Hart n start Precious.
Achiuwa is a Riley kid. Don't forget
I say the same. He’s actually perfect in the starting line up with this team. He boards, blocks shots, can switch, decent cutter. I love him in the starting 5.
@@YardOuthe's got hands of stone though
@@TheTwinkiefoot it’s ok, they won’t be running no plays for that man. Clean up on isle 7

Better than Brunson how
He was speaking defensively
Fred Katz begging for atonement.
2nd unit - Kolek, McBride, Payne, Precious, Sims
Meh...
Really wish the Knicks moved on from Mitch. I like him, but he’s a liability. 😔
yeah umm Kolek and McCullar need to show out in camp because we can't be having trash players like Payne and Shamet getting real minutes lol
Big eyes, big head, little body.
Kat/Precious works, but need Precious to back up Kat to keep Sims off the floor. Sims needs to be off the floor at this point.
Did he just say Conley is better than Brunson
Defensively!
Myles Turner would be beautiful
Can reddish was good as a Knick thibs took him out the rotation after he got injured
TIBBS HASN'T GOT LONG TO MAKE THIS WORK. BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T MAKE THIS WORK HE WILL BE GONE QUICK FAST AND IN A HURRY AND ( DANNY HURLEY) AND
( JAY WRIGHT ) WILL BE WAITING IN THE WINGS.
No. Tibbs is the best coach the Knicks have had since Van Gundy and has given us most success in decades. Talking like his seat is hot is laughable
Don't see that. Dolan is very hands off right now and Rose seems to really like Thibs. Also to date the team hasn't significantly underachieved so why would Thibs be on the clock?
