Using the injury excuse for a coach is nasty work 😭
😂
Tell me you’ve never played basketball before 😭
It wasn’t that it was us not be prepared to lay that long
Well it's true he wasn't able to coach the way he wanted to.
Diabolical 😂😂
I thought KAT actually got traded lol
Same😂 I even checked woj Insta and X
same lol
Me too😂
They should KAT is an idiot who thinks he is a guard
Yep kinda shady to show KAT at the beginning of the vid to get more people to finish the video
"He gave his best years to the city of Minnesota"😂
This man hates us. Every single good player we've had in modern times he makes some video claiming there's drama or whatever and that we're TOTALLY going to trade them. He made a JJettas to the CHIEFS video for gods sake. I'm not surprised he doesn't know the difference between Minneapolis and Minnesota.
He did....
He's not wrong
@@MrMisties I praised the JJ McCarthy pick tho and ya'll are my favorite to win the division
@@TheFlightMikeL take. lmfao as an unbiased packers fan, Minnesota isn’t winning the division over us or the lions with McCarthy
Mike, you might want to take another look at the ownership fight, Glenn claims that Alex and Mark didn't follow the contract and Alex and Mark say something different. There is quite the legal battle that's happening. And there are rumors that Glenn Taylor wants to back out of the contract because due to the emergence of Anthony Edwards, The team is now worth somewhere along the lines of 2.5 billion and so Glenn could resell the team for an extra billion dollars, just some food for thought
I’m just glad someone finally realizes that Glen Taylor is a big reason why Minnesota has been such a bad basketball franchise
Don’t you get my hopes up FlightMike!!! Don’t do that! I’ve been suffering for the Hawks for over 45 years!
Then suffer more
Trust me KAT ain yo answer but he gon pad the stats 😂
@@Cameraman4TheTrenches we need something. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to screw up this pick tomorrow. It’s looking like Risacher, which he looks pretty smooth, but something tells me they’ll get Klingan and I’m protesting for the season if they do.
Everyone knows KAT is better than GOBERT! ID rather have a big that can shoot than a big that can’t score for sht!! also kat did good on Jokic so I’d still stick with him after even that performance
Rudy averages 14, that’s not bad for someone who doesn’t shoot. He’s a defensive guy. What do you think about Jaden then? He was absolutely garbage on offense. He literally had the worst shooting percentage in the 4th out of any starter in the league. Kat wasn’t reliable when shooting. We keep both and run it back, try to get a PG that’s not 5-8.
What are u saying
But wolves already have naz reid who they can start as a stretch 4 or 5. If they get another big they could even have gobert off the bench as the second unit
Exactly put Kat at the 5 and Naz at the 4. Trade Rudy for another shot creator, like Ingram or Lavine.
Ant is the only one on the team that can score
This doesn’t really make sense because you will ruin development of Antony Edward’s and both needs the ball in there hands basically
The only legitimate trade I could see to make the Timberwolves better would be if the Pelicans get frustrated with Zion's lack of effort and deal him for like KAT and maybe a first or two. It makes sense for the Timberwolves, you can compare it to a Shaq situation where having a guy who is all effort (Edwards) motivates him to actually make a change. Doesn't make a ton of sense for New Orleans since he's supposed to be the guy you're building around and is an easy potential top 5 player. So again not a super realistic scenario.
Matchups matter a lot in Basketball.
Minnesota build a team that's uniquely good against Centers Seeing as the Bucks and Nuggets as the teams to beat. This left them more exposed against teams that have really good Guards and shooters. Mavericks were basically their nightmare matchup.
There's no foolproof tactic. If you trade KAT or Gobert for a guard and some role players you may get destroyed by the Nuggets next year.
Wolves would have probably done better against the Celtics than the Mavs did as well. Celtics are extremely well rounded but Wolves had some good matchups.
Ant got on an Atlanta hat with the brim pointed right at KAT
Who is going first in the draft tomorrow?
You can’t really tell
I’m thinking Sarr
Donovan 🔥🔥🔥
Bronny
@@Ari3558it’s really obvious
Breaking news:Knicks trade boban and four first round picks for Mikal bridges 😳😳😳
Wovles got one of the top steals in the draft
I like the trade of Towns for Ingham or to the Knicks for Randle and future picks.
What did you say about the coach's injury. 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 😂😂😂
Bro they don’t need Gobert. They should go get a guy who can defend agile guards. And maybe shift McDaniel up into a SG because he clearly has a deep bag from the midrange. They need someone who can guard the 1 and 2 outside of ant and McDaniels. They need a guy off the bench
I been saying Brandon Ingram would be perfect. He’s a bucket and can replace KATs role on difference. I would keep our line and bench as is!
That longway intro is NASTY WORK 😂
Mike, did you not see Luka drill not 1 but two game winning shots by switching off on Golbert? Towns issues can be fixed just like Tatem this season, he just needs to learn when the 3 isn't falling to use his skills to get in the paint and either dish to his team mates or score easy baskets, Golbert on the other hand is and always will be a limited Center that is a liability against superior talent.
We good we got Rob
I can't believe they're paying KAT $50M...that is WILD
NBA media have him 3rd team all nba center a couple years ago when he was eligible for extension lol
Soon to be 60
Will he change voices in Atlanta?
All of these KAT trade hypotheticals are bad for the T-Wolves. The T-wolves have an uncommon and sought after inside outside 1-2 punch dynamic with a scoring big and scoring perimeter player. None of these guards are better than KAT, and they will get in the way of ANT, and their defense will dip. The only one that is decent for the T-wolves is trading with the Knicks for Randle, because Randle is just as good as KAT, but it still doesn't make sense, because it's a lateral move, unless you are just trying to get off money.
While people are saying that you have to trade someone you really don't beacuse they just need a little bit more chemistry. Im not saying that they are basically the 96 bulls i am just saying that they are pretty similar. Let me explain:
Scottie pippin is basically kat you have the good defender with good offensive skills
Dennis Rodman is rudy gobert ass at offense one of the best defenders ever.
Mj =ant man i know there is no comparison to them closest reasons are you have the high flying play that everyone wants to wants to wacth with good defense and underrated at 3 points
If Trae can check his ego and be number 2 it would definitely fix Ant’s horrendous playmaking and Trae’s horrendous defense. They would balance each other out. Gobert would be a good lob threat. Personally I rather let Ant develop as a playmaker but it wouldn’t be a bad trade for immediate success
Nooooo not KAT.. RUDY !!!
Your content is a little misleading - the new CBA doesn’t begin until July 1, 2024. So when you talk about the Caruso/Giddey trade being made under the new CBA, that’s misleading. Everyone is complaining about that trade because Chicago could have got some draft picks, but OKC wanted to get rid of Giddey before it became harder to trade him.
You’ll most likely see more trades BEFORE July 1st so teams can escape some of the strict rules of the new CBA.
It would do you well to follow someone like Bobby Marks AND listen to what he says carefully.
as a big fan of trae and being from Minnesota I want this but the money is a big problem for them, even if trae doesnt come they needs cut by around 30 mill if im remembering correctly, that combined with glenn taylor obviously not going to pay 75 million 🤦♂️
that and a splash and slash duo of ant and trae is completely 50/50 it either works or it doesnt no if and but
but there is another top defense team that needs a true pg that can elevate offense, the orlando magic 2nd team in defensive rating to the wolves and they are in need of a true pg that sky rockey their offense 🤷♂️
theres more I can say but send trae to orlando!
Put towns at sf position and put Reid at pf. It’s that easy.
As a Hawks fan naw we good
0:49 no no no
Towns to Mavs would be fire
.....please..cut the high pitch "What's going on ".... Other than that you definitely got better over the years changing those long ass intros.
💪🏾
Knicks trade for KAT to send him to Brooklyn for Mikal Bridges. Only way I say we win that trade. Knicks fans don’t want KAT in orange and blue.
Funny they really traded for Mikal bridges 🤯
@@wesleylowe3520 I spoke it into existence!!!! WOW!!!! I’m hyped!!
Now let’s get OG signed and we’re in the finals!!! 💯 I’m really geeked bro
Let’s go Knicks!!!
Karl- Anthony Towns is not going anywhere he is staying in Minnesota with the Timberwolves
Minnesota just needs a year or two more of ANT growth as a player.
Putting Edwards and young together is the most epic way to ruin a team. Stupid af.
Trading Kat will be a huge mistake, trade Rudy instead of….if Kat gets traded Ant will ask to be traded too
I would trade Mike Conley conley is very old one of the oldest in the nba
Yet is still one of the better PGs in the game. Can shoot, pass well, and still plays great defense. Not too mention he's on a good contract.
slaaaaaay💅🏽💅🏽 katt
KAT is such a disappointment.
As a wolves fan I'd like to see kat SGA oh my that young kid with ant 🐜 would be the absolutely 💯 best move but we can dream Kat fouls to much and then fades away instead of being consistent and if I were PG go to to wolves stacked
Why you change the thumbnail from murray to trae? Smh
Its a new feature bro, I upload multiple thumbnails and UA-cam shuffles them
@@TheFlightMike that's tight man. Okay cool cool
Minneapolis is the.city...minnesota is the state
Scapegoating KAT is so lazy.
Ant joined MJ's other son in the OverHyped Club.
West is stacked so East is easy?
state of Minnesota, not city
Can they run it back?? I doubt it... 😅
Nice.
Theres literally no one you can trade him for. That team is not getting any better by trading him. Hes not a popular favorite but he showed up when it matters and when AE didnt. He needs to lock in but trade him and you’re looking at another small rebuild. Unless you think AE Naz and Rudy are enough. With a great bench. That might be promising but that starting 3 is not good enough. Sorry!
Trae does not fit this team. No other player fits except maybe a pf like KP. Shit Kd. But thats it. 😂 brandom ingram is an interesting fit. If he can stay healthy. But other than that i cant think of anyone else i would trade for him. So get ready for an amazing bench.
trade towns for durant/harden/randle maybe
Mikal just got traded to the knicks
Mn would be dumb to trade for Trey maybe Murray
They have to trade gobert
Mike you are blowing this team wildly out of proportion! This team won just 42 games last year and 46 the season before that. This team has not proven shit! This team could very well just implode. This team does not have a proven track record of winning and they still dont. Your blowing this team up. Would I rather pay KAT 36 million or Rudy Gobert 43.8? Are you serious? At least KAT can score. Your PM ratings are WILDLY misleading. Its not about Rudy its about price. Is he worth 40+ million per year? Hell no he is not. Is KAT worth 36? Yeah he is. Is he worth 49 million? No he is not but I would still take KAT over Rudy. This team will likely move on from KAT but only bc NO ONE wants Rudy so he is worthless in a trade BUT KAT is a piece they can move for real value. This team already paid 5 1st rounders to get Rudy so trading him now is a nut shot that wont happen.
ATL wouldn't do that trade
Timberwolves will finish with the fifth seed next season and get bounced by the nuggets in the second round.
even if chris finch was doing backflips on the sideline the mavs woulda still bodied them.
Paul George to wolves u never know but most likely not
W
Is flight Mike Canadian? That’s the only excuse for thinking Minnesota is a city.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Towns to GSW for Steph yaw heard it here 1st
They need to trade Gobert...hes a liability
What? Didn't you see the deep 2pt faraway sky lobshot
Yes for Capela or Jarrett Allen
@templr44_ I took the man as being sarcastic cause he couldn't have been frfr
I have to stop watching this.. it's just such a silly take.. 😂 trade him to the hawks for Murray..? so they can be oversaturated with guards doing the same role, just how it happened over in Atlanta..? 🙄😂 I honestly just hope the t wolves just run it back 🤷
Why ppl always try to sound cool instead of just speaking properly? KAT said “this is what movies is made of” like come on man.
Forreal if he actually used correct grammar it would’ve sounded way better.
That was a normal ass sentance fym😂
He is socially awkward, good character but on interviews he can be cringy. There are a lot of times Ant will step on and speak for him.
Maybe that’s just how he talks?😭 the real world isn’t school people don’t always need to speak “proper” lmao
@@macswag5731 what a surprise, the dude who can’t spell sentence and macswag think it’s better to sound cool than speak in an articulate manner.
Keep KAT away from both NY teams plz
Jimmy said it Carl Anthony Towns is soft
no way, KAT is the reason for making the wolves better
Lmaooo u joking
KEEP KAT AWAY FROM ATL WE DONT WANT HIM
after all that💅
If they trade kat for trae they will never make it back to the WCF ever again
Naz Reid is waiting to start Minnesota
Jarrett Allen is the answer to the Kat and Rudy problem
@@iguessshmm…very intriguing, how do you make that work?
@@iguesss or a laurie markannen
@@gurei4761THATS WHAT IAM SAYING
@gurei4761 I'd prefer Markannen, can shoot as well.
Katt might had a bad last couple games but they not the same team without him imo
Yep
How so? Cause ant took them to the playoffs the year before without him?
@@World_core he was key in beating Denver... he played relatively his best defense of his career (even against Phoenix too), and there's no way they win without him in. But he was a big reason they lost to Dallas. If KAT hit a few more shots in some of those games, it's probably a 7-game series
@@World_core going to the playoffs and going to the western conference finals are different lil bro
He ain’t a playoff player
2:01 City of Minnesota 🤔🤔🤔
Minnesota is not a city. 1:58 SMH 😮
U gave me a heart attack as a wolves fan with the thumbnail 😅
same shit these ass youtubers were trying to push two seasons ago vs trading for rudy
Yes I was like whose season do I have to hex
Why have a heart attack? Kat was trash in the playoffs.
@@sjmuhammad19 I would be happy, but it would just be really shocking
AFTER ALL THAT💅💅💅💅
for sure💅💅💅
@@ElijahRichard-bk8ncthey really did 💅 💅
Man I thought this was real. The whole city of Minnesota was confused.
😂
Idiots really forget or don't understand that in basketball matchups matter more than any other major pro sport. T-wolves were able to beat the nuggets because they have two good bigs. Matching up well against them. And having a bad matchup with Dallas. If they would played okc they would have had a better matchup. Also the west having a much harder path so often, has always made it harder for west teams to win the championship.
It's true, but it still doesn't solve the money problem... Getting 2-3 first round draft picks, plus maybe a potential good player, can set up a perpetual playoff kind of team. When we had Garnett, and no follow up first round picks, he just left in the end. It didn't pan out well. The same will happen to Edwards if we don't have a long term vision...
Match ups is key without a doubt 100%, but you have to factor in Jamal Murray was playing with a sprained ankle and was pretty much worthless in the 2nd round. Look at MPJ as well who basically had his entire family falling apart, from one brother being booted outta the NBA to the other killing a dude while driving drunk. Denver(outside of Jokic)was in a bad way this past post season and looked it. Still Minny matches up well even with a healthy refreshed Nuggs and may have the advantage as Denver lost KCP who was a key defender for the Nuggets. Gonna be interesting 2024/25 season for sure.
Without KAT minnesota does not beat denver..period
Who cares Denver wasn’t in the WCF
@@MrPokefanatic97......we wouldn't have made it to the wcf hater
@@NateGotJokes kinda wasted everyone’s time, could barely touch the mid Mavs. Hater.
@MrPokefanatic97 who am I hating on clown have an original thought for once and get off kats sack
I understand that they probably could improve, but the fact of the matter is besides game 5 they lost the other three games in the conference finals by like a combined 10 points, and their stars played like shit. Some more shots fall and we could be talking about this team very differently, trading away one of their starters isn’t the move imo
A GM’s job is to trade a key asset while the player’s value is high on the market. For example, the Bulls should have gotten rid of Lavine a few years ago. Now it kinda makes since to keep him (because of Josh Giddey).
I think the T Wolves need to call Atl ASAP and trade Towns for Dejounte Murray. Do it now! Great video.
Trade gobert not KAT
I consider unsubscribing every time he begs for subscriptions.
Grasping straws for something to put up huh 😅😅😅😅

Conley and KAT for Beale and jusuf
#GOSUNS
Lmao zero way Minnesota does that. Beale is the second worst contract in the nba
without kat on the timberwolves, the nba has a jokic problem
It's kind of crazy that Kat (and Gobert) is the best jokic defender in the west
@@justinbrown2199 It takes two big men to guard him. One to stop him from getting the ball anywhere near the paint, and one to cover lobs to gordon or porter. Kat knew what he had to do on defense against nuggets, perhaps nas will fill that role.
@@darrengarrett8176 maybe it was a great gameplan though
none...the reason they wont a few ganes was cause of town...keep the team the way its..same was with celtics ..trade brown ..now what ...you said that before trade brown....so what now

KAT isn’t getting traded 🤣
Welp
wolfes will fall apart. no real team spirit and very arrogant. gobert is very overrated, so is ant.

injured luka schooled dem wit one leg.
coach is horrible
