Randle’s the issue. His style of game doesn’t work for team success. LA failed, Knicks failed, now the wolves will fail. He’s a poor mans Carmelo, and even Carmelo failed.
A horrific all-star that plays like it's 2006 as well. I never understood why they traded for Randle of all people. Idk what more people need to see from Randle to finally admit that he's terrible.
Yeah I cannot work out why KAT was traded for a player that's basically the same skills but worse. Yeah I know salary reasons but then trade KAT for someone who will fit better such as a PG or SF as Naz could have taken the starting 4 spot. Hoping Dillingham develops quickly this year and they can get Randle fitting in better. Or trade him later on.
MASSIVE T-WOLVES fan here, i scream at my tv when they run the offense through Julius or ant, they play so much better when a pg runs it which is why dilly has been SOOOO good
As a Knicks fan I do feel the pain, Julius Randle is a great player when everything is going his way. When it doesn’t he turns into a cancer for the team. He’s blown up and argued with Knicks players and staff before. He’s a great player and grateful for what he did in NY but Randle’s short temper is detrimental to himself and his team.
If DDV, Naz, and Jaden hit a few more shots in each game they'd be above .500... the offense still stinks as bad as last year. Rob needs to play, I wish Finch would go deeper into his bench and ignore all the egos, just need some effort and energy out there with no agendas. I know it's different than high school, but it happened multiple times of the starters were not playing well and unloaded the entire bench for a short energy stint. I came off the bench with the 2nd unit and we would run and gun.
Rudy is MVP of your team from what ive seen in postseason and assumption based on where the team was before he got there and Randle shows next level disrespect. Maybe benching that dude is whats best.
Man, sorry but Rudy took a pay cut this season on his max contract to extend his contract with the timberwolf and it's after helping them to go to WCF. he is not taking that much money. There is a lot more scandalous contract then his. Beal, Ben simmons, Embiid, Paul Georges, Kawhi, Bronny James.
Dont listen to the casuals. GMs in league drove his trade price to the highest ive seen. Truth is that he is underpaid has some crazy advanced stats and is more rare(valuable) than most allstars or volume scorers in the league.
Paul George isn't so bad. When healthy, he's quite solid, and he does play a bit. Bronny is high, but it's part of Lebrons contract. Lebron+ Bronny combined isn't overpaid. I'm still hoping Simmons gets his confidence back. As someone who has an impinged nerve in my lower back, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt because, honestly, it's one of the most frustrating injuries I've ever had. I can sit all day in a car or computer chair and barely notice it, but sit on a plastic chair for 15 minutes, and I can't straighten my back. I can run, jog and jump. Work a full day physically etc no worries. But can't lift on certain angles or do a sit up and push ups hurt.
Kat doesn’t get enough credit for how he adapted his game last year to make having Rudy on that roster work. Them getting Rudy put them in a bind because it meant they had to trade Kat. The reality is they probably should have traded Kat AND have never picked up Rudy, because Rudy, at best, can get you to a second round exit, because teams in the playoffs will just spam pick and roll until he can’t even be on the floor anymore. Kat is the same deal-his rim protection and overall defense is poor enough that he caps your team out at a 2nd round exit in the west. Also, Julius Randle isn’t a winning basketball player. He has never bought in to playing defense his whole career. He’ll only start playing defense if he’s in a contract year. Let’s be honest-I.e., next season.
I agree.... As long as Glen Taylor owns the team. He is a cheater (see Joe Smith) and he proved it again by reneging on Lore & A-Rod. The team vastly improved when they got involved.
@kayKay-py1dy Ant isn't much below shooting %. 28ppg on 45, 43, 81% splits. And is a substantially better defender than KAT. Ant is also leading the league in 3 pointers made per game so his 3p% is on high volume of shots too. Wolves issue is they have no offense outside Ant if Randle goes cold and he's very inconsistent whereas KAT is relatively consistent as a scoring threat. Should have traded KAT for wing depth and some bench scoring like a Malik Beasley or such and moved Naz into the 4 to cut salary. Or suffered the salary issue and tried to renegotiate some salary cuts such as Gobert did.
@ ok say it they were teammates avg that, that’s what I’m saying KAT is more dynamic, efficient and just a all around better player. Minnesota is dum for trading em.
I don't agree. Randle has said he loves it there. His issue is Rudy. As for Divo, it's his own fault. One off season and he can't hit a shot to save his life. Their record is very different if Divo had even shot 38% from 3.
their coach thinks otherwise, unlike Pop who played castle before he had his medical emergency. wolves coach seems to love conley and NAW. and now donte can do pg duties as well.
When the team found their identity and was looking like a title contender, you trade away a great key piece in Towns. I wasn’t a wolves fan but even I thought that was a stupid move. This is what you get.
Look I think Rudy isn’t all that, I’ve seen sloths more coordinated. But he had developed a routine with kat. Julius Randall is a zombie without the ball and wouldn’t know “winners mentality” if you tattoo’d it on his frontal lobe. Idea for the timber wolves from the start
Rudy is quite effective because he has high IQ on defence and doesn't make so many bad reads or such. But with KAT who was quick and agile to chase floor spacing bigs and let Rudy sit to defend. Randle doesn't have that effort.
dirty money for dirty people, im here for the content not the guy. And yes i have an opinion about this guy based on this like many do. I hope he is aware. Ready to srew up people life for a handful of money is egoist.
Current standings don't mean a lot. There are only a few games between the bulk of the conference and there are a lot of games to play. Anything can happen.
This is nothing like the Mavericks, Mavs just have injuries to their best players and are still top 5 in both offence and defence. They’ve only lost games by 2/3 points in the clutch and are now on 6-1 in their last 7 without Luka.
@@abtocool6350 They were like top 5 in both a few games ago, must have dropped off since thanks for pointing that out. Idt its similar to Minnesota at all.
@@aryamanmani4025 yeah ever since the trade deadline last season they’ve been one of the best defenses. After the trade they were top 10, in kyrie and luka last 16 regular season games before resting the last 2 they were number 1, in the playoffs they were a top 5 defense, and in the finals the Celtics had a offensive rating of 112 which is a bottom 5 offense which is equivalent to the wizards, their worst offensive series was by far against Dallas, Dallas offensive rating was just 108 though which would rank the worst. Jason Kidd as a coach at least on the defensive end is a amazing coach knowing how to scheme even with luka and kyrie on the floor, his offense as a coach needs work though.
T Wolves could start Nazr at center, trade Gobert for a another shooter at sf pg or pf. If they can't trade Gobert trade Divencenzo he don't want to be there
I watched the Wolves play the Celtics. Randell was like a black hole. When the ball went to him it rarely ever left him. It didn't matter who was on him, weather he was on the block or in the corner, his team mates just watched him do his thing. If that continues, no one will pass it to him and the will be playing 3 1/2 on 5, Rudy is the 1/2 on offence.
How come nobody is talking about the magnetic rims in the NBA this year with everyone shooting lights out career years, are people being censored on TH-cam
1:23 Rudy isn’t an offensive player so he probably wouldn’t have done anything with that. I agree with Randle for not giving him the ball in that situation close in the game
I think a huge problem with the twolves is a lack of veteran leadership. That starts with coaching. How are you going to allow a 23 year old to diss the team in the media every other day? Yeah he's your best player, but that's not leadership. Put him in his place and address the issues! Or else everyone will just remain demoralized and confused
The Wolves are done. I don’t see how they can replicate last year’s run in the playoffs. No chemistry whatsoever and a star that thinks he’s better than he really is…
@@NAMISIMP the point is, Rudy has no post moves and bad offensive IQ. For one, why take a turnaround jumper when he's not good at shooting to begin with?
It’s pretty clear both Randle and especially DiVincenzo do not want to be there. The former was playing the best ball of his career in NY and had been living and building a family there for a while now, while the latter had his 3 college buddies there and was coming off handily the best season of his career. Now the Knicks aren’t knocking the doors off anybody yet (they’re accustomed to slow starts in the Thibs era anyway), but at the very least KAT has been elite and clearly loves being there. If Timberwolves fans want to blame anybody for this situation beyond Glen Taylor, blame Isaiah Hartenstein. Had he taken less money to stay with the Knicks, very good chance they don’t make a trade for KAT.
Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
As a Mavs fan, I honestly thought the Wolves would trade KAT because Naz Reid is emerging and is on a very team friendly contract for 3 years. Outside of ANT, I was worried about Naz Reid in the WCF last year. Why isn’t Reid starting and Randle coming off the bench. Reid is a great defender and hits 3s in stride. Randle can do good as the lead guy for the second unit.
Rudy is French. French people have that nonchalant attitude. It's not that they hate you or think bad of you, it's just how they act. Many people from other nations/cultures are not familiar with that and it puts them off. It's just an issue of a culture fit (or the lack of it).
If Twolves keep the same roster last year (+Dillingham). They would have to prayge so damn hard Dillingham could make a Roty impact and maybe even more.When the trade happened, sad to see Kat's gone but I'm still positive we got a pick and Dvo. Randle is whatever... Still have hope things will get better for anyone involved. It's early in the season and I'm still standing for what I thought. The trade need to happen cuz no way that Twolves can run it back and achieve a ring. This year may be screwed but after waiting that long to have another legit Twolves, I don't mind waiting for 1,2 more years to see a perfect window...
If KAT had been traded earlier, the TWolves could’ve had time to adapt. Instead, Ant gets the 2nd All-NBA selection (in May, they knew about the $30M salary aspect in fricking May !), the team comes back from summer break and the Olympics, prepares and then ‘oh yeh, KAT’s gone, here’s some new guys and the season starts in 19 days…. No pressure’. If KAT had even simply been injured and was out for a prolonged period, they could’ve adapted better. Instead, you’re building a new structure with Randle and DiVincenzo from scratch.
The Wolves will not preform until Randle drops his ego. He may be scorer #2. but If Ant, has a problem, and Gobert isn't getting the ball in that moment, that's on Randle. Randle, a newbie to this team, needed to pass that ball to Gobert. It was more about respect then even getting a bucket. Randle basically said "you suck" without saying you suck, by not passing that ball to him.
The reason that Julius Randle didn't pass to Gobert is because when he would pass, Gobert would drop the ball or commit a turnover. Very rarely did he turn around a score.
Randel’s lack of effort on defense and obvious poor attitude in the locker room is going to be a cancer for the wolves this season. He and Divicenzo look like they’re playing because their relatives are being held hostage.
I watched many past videos of Wolves games and in most situations, KAT definitely will pass to Gobert and KAT also understand the concept of switching defensively. I totally agree Randle is the problem.

They don’t trust Rudy with ball on offense, they just want him to rebound on both ends of floor and catch Los. So if you don’t trust your center, you don’t get him involved. What does he do? He take it into his own hands score and break the offense play down , you gotta be able to trust and feed your big man. Just like everybody else. Get to touch the ball. He has to touch the ball too. You gotta put everybody in rhythm. And Minnesota has a big problem with that.
I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on, neither donte nor Julius wanted to be in Minnesota. They’re playing like they hate it, especially donte who was avg 40% from 3 last year. Trading kat was the biggest mistake they made!
The second apron sucks especially for a young team like the Wolves The Gobert trade was bad especially that following season for the package they sent out but it has worked out so the Kat trade saves them money in the end
Raps aren't trying to tank. They're young and injured and have lost close OT games against good teams, and most other losses by 6 or less points. They've really only had 5 bad games. Tow those narratives though. Maybe tune in some times.
if you actually did some research instead of releasing this mass media slop, you'd know that Rudy doesn't get passes by the coach's design and Randle didn't get him the pass because the whole team was supposed to limit his touches
Timberwolves have zero intentions to keep Randle's expiring contract through the rest of the season. TWolves DESPERATELY NEED a PG. TWolves will likely keep Dante, trade Randle's attractive expiring contract plus that Pistons' 1st rnd pick AND now likely Jaden for a decent PG and a reliable role player(s). TWolves DID NOT trade Towns for Randle; they aren't finished constructing a team around Ant.

The way I look at this trade: It hurt BOTH teams Minnesota more than New York. Knicks lost the physicality trading Julius for KAT and the Wolves lost the chemistry with KAT gone. Knicks obvious winners of this trade but Minnesota as a lifelong Clevelander I feel for you guys as far as wanting a successful winning franchise. Y’all don’t deserve this.
We told yall. This trade was a win for NYK. Donte was a headcase Randle was a subpar star While KAT shoots like a guard and still relatively young Yall are all wrong.
Randle’s the issue. His style of game doesn’t work for team success. LA failed, Knicks failed, now the wolves will fail. He’s a poor mans Carmelo, and even Carmelo failed.

wow one time in about 10000 shots
@@NAMISIMP the point is, Rudy has no post moves and bad offensive IQ. For one, why take a turnaround jumper when he's not good at shooting to begin with?
@@brandoni241 rudy would of posterized scottie there but yeah he has low ball iq but he is a good alley oop threat
I wonder how long before players are paid billions $$$ to just play a shoot around.
It’s pretty clear both Randle and especially DiVincenzo do not want to be there. The former was playing the best ball of his career in NY and had been living and building a family there for a while now, while the latter had his 3 college buddies there and was coming off handily the best season of his career. Now the Knicks aren’t knocking the doors off anybody yet (they’re accustomed to slow starts in the Thibs era anyway), but at the very least KAT has been elite and clearly loves being there. If Timberwolves fans want to blame anybody for this situation beyond Glen Taylor, blame Isaiah Hartenstein. Had he taken less money to stay with the Knicks, very good chance they don’t make a trade for KAT.

Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
6:09 3PA and 3PM messed up, it should be the other way around
Daniel Li's analysis is on point!
When are we gonna get an Orlando Magic video?
As a Mavs fan, I honestly thought the Wolves would trade KAT because Naz Reid is emerging and is on a very team friendly contract for 3 years.
Outside of ANT, I was worried about Naz Reid in the WCF last year. Why isn’t Reid starting and Randle coming off the bench. Reid is a great defender and hits 3s in stride. Randle can do good as the lead guy for the second unit.
uh, Rudy on Scottie isn’t a mismatch. Scottie has frequently defended big centres, including Jokic, and done very well.
Rudy is French. French people have that nonchalant attitude. It's not that they hate you or think bad of you, it's just how they act. Many people from other nations/cultures are not familiar with that and it puts them off. It's just an issue of a culture fit (or the lack of it).
If Twolves keep the same roster last year (+Dillingham). They would have to prayge so damn hard Dillingham could make a Roty impact and maybe even more.When the trade happened, sad to see Kat's gone but I'm still positive we got a pick and Dvo. Randle is whatever... Still have hope things will get better for anyone involved. It's early in the season and I'm still standing for what I thought. The trade need to happen cuz no way that Twolves can run it back and achieve a ring. This year may be screwed but after waiting that long to have another legit Twolves, I don't mind waiting for 1,2 more years to see a perfect window...
saw u on a grammarly ad, thought i was watching one of ur video ;-;
we fucking hate the gambling ads bro
Randle makes the team worse. Lmao.
If KAT had been traded earlier, the TWolves could’ve had time to adapt.
Instead, Ant gets the 2nd All-NBA selection (in May, they knew about the $30M salary aspect in fricking May !), the team comes back from summer break and the Olympics, prepares and then ‘oh yeh, KAT’s gone, here’s some new guys and the season starts in 19 days…. No pressure’.
If KAT had even simply been injured and was out for a prolonged period, they could’ve adapted better. Instead, you’re building a new structure with Randle and DiVincenzo from scratch.
Kat was the glue
The Wolves will not preform until Randle drops his ego. He may be scorer #2. but If Ant, has a problem, and Gobert isn't getting the ball in that moment, that's on Randle. Randle, a newbie to this team, needed to pass that ball to Gobert. It was more about respect then even getting a bucket. Randle basically said "you suck" without saying you suck, by not passing that ball to him.
The reason that Julius Randle didn't pass to Gobert is because when he would pass, Gobert would drop the ball or commit a turnover. Very rarely did he turn around a score.
A Rod should buy the team
Randel’s lack of effort on defense and obvious poor attitude in the locker room is going to be a cancer for the wolves this season. He and Divicenzo look like they’re playing because their relatives are being held hostage.
I watched many past videos of Wolves games and in most situations, KAT definitely will pass to Gobert and KAT also understand the concept of switching defensively. I totally agree Randle is the problem.

Randle would honestly be a great 6th man of the year. He just needs to go to a good team and play his role.
They don’t trust Rudy with ball on offense, they just want him to rebound on both ends of floor and catch Los. So if you don’t trust your center, you don’t get him involved. What does he do? He take it into his own hands score and break the offense play down , you gotta be able to trust and feed your big man. Just like everybody else. Get to touch the ball. He has to touch the ball too. You gotta put everybody in rhythm. And Minnesota has a big problem with that.
Julius Randle has always been bad for team chemistry. Knicks brass was probably letting the alcohol flow when they traded him for Townes.
Who’s here after the wolves have ripped off 4 straight wins since this video holding every opponent under 93? Lol
I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on, neither donte nor Julius wanted to be in Minnesota. They’re playing like they hate it, especially donte who was avg 40% from 3 last year. Trading kat was the biggest mistake they made!
The second apron sucks especially for a young team like the Wolves
The Gobert trade was bad especially that following season for the package they sent out but it has worked out so the Kat trade saves them money in the end
Raps aren't trying to tank. They're young and injured and have lost close OT games against good teams, and most other losses by 6 or less points. They've really only had 5 bad games. Tow those narratives though. Maybe tune in some times.
As a timberwolves fan, I’m pissed as hell event offense play 😭 we need cat back
if you actually did some research instead of releasing this mass media slop, you'd know that Rudy doesn't get passes by the coach's design
and Randle didn't get him the pass because the whole team was supposed to limit his touches
KAT mildly adapts to what the coaches want and what’s necessary. He’s a great aggressive player on the Knicks rn
Timberwolves have zero intentions to keep Randle's expiring contract through the rest of the season.
TWolves DESPERATELY NEED a PG. TWolves will likely keep Dante, trade Randle's attractive expiring contract plus that Pistons' 1st rnd pick AND now likely Jaden for a decent PG and a reliable role player(s).
TWolves DID NOT trade Towns for Randle; they aren't finished constructing a team around Ant.
5:57 bro sounds like he’s from Texas
Got me dying fr
😂 He’s from Houston
i dont even know why we traded for big fat guy, like even if Kat was having a bad game, his attitude was still amazing.
Can't wait for every NBA channel to talk about the Timerwolves slump!
Just wondering, will those channels clown on Ant or sympathize with him? i really liked him last season and olympics so I hope he’s still likable.
@@josesanches2405 he lowkey got himself a shit ton of haters after that statement of no skilled players in the 90s and THEN admitting he didnt watch it lol
@@josesanches2405there gonna hate on him regardless. His team sucks and he’s lowkey carrying them it’s sad too see
@@NEWLOOKKNICKS And nonchalantly coercing a woman into having an abortion. I used to like him, too. But he's just the worst. He's everything that's wrong with today's big pro sports. And his cheeky unbothered sunnyboy persona has been nothing but that for quite some time. Loud, ignorant and full of himself for no reason. F%&* him.
The way I look at this trade: It hurt BOTH teams Minnesota more than New York. Knicks lost the physicality trading Julius for KAT and the Wolves lost the chemistry with KAT gone. Knicks obvious winners of this trade but Minnesota as a lifelong Clevelander I feel for you guys as far as wanting a successful winning franchise. Y’all don’t deserve this.
We told yall. This trade was a win for NYK.
Donte was a headcase
Randle was a subpar star
While KAT shoots like a guard and still relatively young
Yall are all wrong.
This T-Wolves / Knicks Trade destroyed their team chemistry in my point of view.
Gotta admit this isn't a good look for Randall... it's his contract year and he's not getting paid
Ant: "we just don't play hard."
Also Ant: "bro why are our fans booing us??"
