- When the New York Knicks acquired Karl Anthony Towns, there was A LOT of uncertainty…
Trading away Julius Randle who brought Knicks basketball back to life and Donte DiVincenzo had Knicks fans in shambles
But there’s one thing we’ve learned…
Knicks fans were TOTALLY wrong….
As we head into the new year, let’s dive a little deeper into how this trade has panned out…
The Josh Hart Trade will go down as arguable one of the biggest trade fleeces in recent sports memory. No Question! That first round pick was money very well spent!
I hated that we added him in the ad trade I wish la kept him
@@jcrespo200 By LA you mean LeBron “LeGM” James?
All these years, I thought Katt was a little soft. Turns out it was the MN Timberwolves culture all along.
I doubt there was a single Knicks fan left who didn't want to trade Julius Randle (and his salary) last summer. Losing DiVincenzo in the KAT trade hurt but that's pretty much it.
SNAPPLE FACTS
That Josh hart trade was a GEM 💎
fr, he has been getting double doubles left, right and center
It was actually word that Mitch Robinson would miss over half of a season that prompted the move to go trade DiVo and Randle for Towns.
That definitely sped up the process .
on god
I don't care about Dante but I wish we kept Hartenstein. Him and Hart were the backbone of our team last year. But I'm happy with how things are lookin so far this year
Yeah, I'm a Celtics fan and wanted my team to get Hartenstein but of course someone was gonna pay more. He would have been a decent successor to Horford. If the Knicks had him their interior defense would've been much better.
We definitely should have kept big man.
@@sourdee8034We didn't have the cap room.
Yall got og too bruh
Fair point! Hartenstein and Hart were key, but glad things are looking good this year
I'd love to see a defensive breakdown on why the Hawks are so liable to allow stars to go off yet keep lesser players from being productive.
Jokic 23-17-15, Luka 73 pts, Wemby 42-6-5-4, Lavine 37-5-7, Giannis 32-14-9, etc
We still need to fix our bench problems it's terrible that's why the starters are playing to many minutes. GO KNICKS
Play the young guys so they get experience. Starters playing too many minutes
Whoever told you that Brunson wanted Towns is lying through their teeth . Brunson was 100% opposed to the Towns trade.
The Knicks have to figure out a way to improve this bench! God willing we’ll hit on 1 free agent and draft well 🙏🏾
If I see this Knicks defense lock in and really find chemistry I think k they clear the Celtics. But Celtics built that chemistry over multiple season of losing so it’s tough to say Knicks can do it this year
We can’t even beat okc
@@freshmanfloater9395 we don’t have Mitchell back yet, I think when healthy we clear em
They defensive has picked up they just got tired In the 4th and the bench scored 5 points so there’s that
Knicks aren't there yet.
I think the knicks need another two way wing
I’m so happy Jalen took over and got Randle outta here , we needed u Jay🔥🗽
Was a life long Timberwolves fan but trading KAT broke me. KAT got disrespected by just about every wolves fan when the reality was it was an organization problem. In KATs first 7 seasons he played under 5 coaches, multiple front office changes, multiple complete roster overhauls and a forced position change. People like to act like he didn’t accomplish anything but his best teammate before ANT was less than a full season with Jimmy Butler who ended up resenting KAT because the Timberwolves chose to pay KAT and Wiggins instead of him. The moment KAT got a real costar he made the playoffs.
In summary, Brunson, a rare mid-range, ball-dominant lead guard who needs space in the paint, fits well best the best stretch-5 in the game.
Can my Knicks win a chip this year? Yes
Do they need another "superstar" to do so? No
Do they need to make a trade this season? No
Sincerely,
Diehard Knicks fan since 1990
This team will shock the NBA, hell their doing it now 🫡
ill make this as simple as possibe that doesnt need 11:43: karl anthony towns is a younger and better player than julius randle.
Did Derick rose play on the Knicks before
yea very briefly
Dam how old are you?
Yes
Two separate stints as a Knick. #25 and #4
The knicks did not overpay for Brunson because they literally paid him the 15th most expensive PG contract at the time and his production was 15th in pg stats
But we still have to fix our bench our bench is terrible they can't score
if the knicks win, nyc will rage for a year straight.
The last two games against OKC and the bulls, we cannot defend pick and rolls. Ihart used to take away pick n rolls and we need Mitchell Robinson to hurry up to help us with defense.
First the first time in my 32 years on earth and I can say my squad are title contenders 🤷🏾♂️
Knicks fans were wrong?!?!? Wow 😮
Got to thank the Dallas Mavericks for penny pinching and giving the Knicks a top 5 point guard!
The Frank drafting still give me nightmares til this day. We could've drafted Spida Mitch 😢
They also need other wing player. GO KNICKS
Cat says soft speaking through the ghost of Jimmy Butler
Underpaid Brunson
Well I guess there’s only one thing left to do. Win the whole fucking thing.
Great move by the Knicks. But I do think when playofff time comes they are going to truly miss Vinny. He was definitely different in the playoffs
Bridges makes up for Donte. All of them are shooters and their starting 5 almost having all over 20 pts is insane and tells me yeah it sucks to lose Donte but it’s not hurting us .
I suspect that more than he wanted KAT, he wanted to get rid of Randle
Best shooting big man that's ever played the game I think not
Knicks are hella cool
Naaahhhh as a knicks fan... i never been in shambles after kicking Randle out... he was a CANCER periode!
Randle brought the Knicks back to what?! Bruh. That boring guy didn't do sht.
1:02 lol. Surprised he didn’t break his hand from that
Knicks fans are always wrong
They will not pass the 2nd round because of their idiot coach running his starters to the ground. How inhumane to play your starters 40 mins a game.
So you're telling me that the athlete of "today's NBA" is not capable of playing 80's &90's basketball? Look at the rotation and minutes of those playoff teams during that era and get back to me.
Dirk best shooting big idc
I think Knick fans will be proven 100% right about the Kat trade in the end . Nobody said Kat was going to suck during the year the criticism with Kat HAS ALWAYS BEEN how God awful he is in the playoff's . We will ONLY KNOW know if the Kat trade was a success during the playoffs so pipe down . On another note Brunson DID NOT approve of the Kat trade and he would have never given up 100+ mill if he knew his BFF was going to be traded .
Cam Reddish for Josh Hart. We should have seen all of this coming,,,,
It means that the wolves always f up theiir stars. Turns out that the wolves is holding back KAT for the longest time.
Hart trade was just as great as Bronson pickup if healthy they are as good as anyone but that can't happen Mitch Robinson always injured as og is never can beat Boston who is always healthy
How would this team look with spider instead of kat?
I forgot bout Quickley lol
Knicks still can’t beat elite teams unbelievable
I think you’re over exaggerating. They had the Thunder’s number the whole game up until the end. Just gotta execute better.
@ what happen yesterday ???!
@@NarkoHamponTV yes! Just get Kat the ball more and make proper close outs. SGA got 33 points on 26 shots. And Jalen needs to shoot better himself but the Knicks aren’t this horrible franchise that can’t win games against good teams. Relax.
@@brycetheoddballyea and thibs needs to stop playing his starters the whole game so they’re not exhausted in crunch time
@ they’re conditioned to play that long. Deuce was hurt last night. You can’t play Cam, Shamet and presh more than 15 minutes cause they aren’t skilled enough. Tyler Kolek and Dadiet are rookies and Thibs definitely not playing rookies against the best team in the West with real minutes.
I think personally that donte regressed. I think it’s just that he doesn’t have that Jalen Brunson playmaking anymore by his side
Dude literally everyone would want a carl on their team what are you debating abt
Man you really don't know Knicks fans.
This video is a lie. Knicks fans were appreciative of Randle. He led the Knicks out of the dark ages.
Once this became Brunson's team, two things were brought up, how would JB and Randle play together going forward.
The second thing was, do you give a one-dimensional player like Julius a max deal, even after he left money on the table with his 1st extension.
Also, the KAT rumors were always lingering. Knicks fans didn't think they could get KAT until DVD was included in the package.
Jalen looks like Ricky starks
hello guys
Last year team was better
I think they just need to stop being so over confident
These Knicks have propensity to be soft as well
Brunson the GM?
Thibs. That will be their downfall. Sorry Knicks fans 😢
Better shooter than dirk? Idk the numbers hehe pls educate me
Knicks Fans are the worst NBA fans
If cat was the lion he is supposed to be inside and outside three-point shooting is important what towns will never win a chip shooting threes he's got to get inside show me how big of a big man you are to break your threes and go inside the paint and score
hmmm content sounds awfully familiar maybe im trippin
Great moves by Leon Rose and company. .. But I do not see them beating Cleveland in seven games.
kates bates diop wasnt worthy to speak of?
You calling KAT the best shooting big in NBA history.... Have you not heard of Dirk Nowitski????
better 3pt shooter than dirk in my opinion
Dirk couldnt shoot the 3 like Kat...man is using stats not feelings
I don’t need a history lesson, stopped 45 seconds in
Knicks only beat bad teams
