Knick fan here, if Randle can accept a role where he’s more of a facilitator and less of a iso scorer he’ll be very effective. He has many flaws but one thing he’s excellent at is drawing double teams and finding the open man. Surround him with shooters and you’ll get a ton of open shots
I 2nd that and I keep telling people DONT SLEEP ON RANDLE! he has always played with a chip and now he has motivation by the trade and by his next NBA contract
Not a Wolves Fan, Not a Knicks fan. But I am an NBA fan and my preseason way too early prediction is that the Wolves play the Celtics in the finals. One of the greatest finals ever. Wolves win 7
i havent heard this mentioned yet but its obvious to me that Donte is here to replace NAW. NAW is gone after this season and thats 100% or at least it was before we ditched KAT's contract. I suppose with KATs contract off the books we could resign NAW but i think we will be focusing more on NAZ contract and perhaps Julius
I am down for trading Naw for a 1st round pick to an east contending team at the deadline. Assuming it looks at that point like we can afford to let him go given how Donte, Shannon Jr, Ingles and others look in that we may not exactly need him in the playoffs. It would be a nice way to get yet another pick back to our cupboard.
I like this trade for the Wolves, primarily because Connelly has earned some trust. I don't think KAT is worth his contract and lacks the mental toughness for the big moments. Good guy though, if he can get stronger mentally he could be a 3rd option on a championship caliber team.
I understand that talent is important to fans but us fanatics temperament and effort is what I feel the new additions bring and yes they might not be as good talent wise but toughness is going to be there in my opinion
Holy shit bro you can’t even say the good stuff without couching it. Vegas odds to win the title improved post trade. Hollingers model said it was worth 3games. Kats fine but he was not in the top five in three man lineup combos, has lead the league in offensive fouls each of the last four years and even tho he shoots well, he never did it enough to matter that much. Say nothing about contract differences, naz minutes increase and adding dd to a shallow bench.
Forget what you thin talentwise, and think abou the match. BIG improve for the wolves. Randle is a solid Ball handler, can create his own shots, generate A LOT of double teams, is a decent 3pt shooter, and really good rebounder and a hard working guy. He just was no longer a good fit for the knicks centered around brunson. Divo is amazing shooting, a good passer and can drive to the basket as well.
I’m just gonna say it cause so many people talking bout this trade do this. NOT TALKING CONTRACT WITH TRADES IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TRADE. Plain and simple.
Randle tire plus de lancers francs mais il est beaucoup moins adroit que KAT à cet exercice et je ne parle du reste dint les 3 points où il ne sera pas respecté en PO
Depends what your comparing. They're both C/PF pairings. They're both teammates. They're both shot blocking lengthy Cs. And they're both PF multiple time all stars that went to Kentucky. 🤡

I wouldn't be shocked if Randle starts but naz gets more playing time
Randle is a rotation guy now on a contract year. He will have to figure it out or a trade happens on deadline.
Randle is a banger , so that shoulder surgery concerns me . We'll see.

As a Knicksfan I will follow the wolves this season. Wish Randle and Divo all the best and hope we meet again in the finals
Knicks are my eastern conference team. Kick ass this year!

Same thing I thinking
Maybe, I think there’s a decent chance we keep NAW and Naz. Especially if Randle opts out.

I can understand the fear with Randle , but the Wolves got better if they utilize him correctly.
The Spacing will play a huge role in Minnesota.
Do you think the spacing improved , is even, or got worse from the trade ?!

Julius is a 2 time all star all NBA in the last 2 seasons

Ben Beecken is a big KAT guy always has been
I love KAT, but I'm kinda happy that we will not see his dumb plays anymore. He was never a soft player... he was kinda dumb player.

Wait till you get to watch the Randle experience. LOL
I disagree i think the Wolves got better

Lol you’ve not been saying they’re the same. Who you fooling
Lol you just compare kat Rudy with Randle Robinson. One of these is not like the other. What’a joke
Depends what your comparing. They're both C/PF pairings. They're both teammates. They're both shot blocking lengthy Cs. And they're both PF multiple time all stars that went to Kentucky. 🤡
