I actually like this for the Knicks and a healthy Mitchell Robinson. Knicks need one more bench piece. Now we need the *Gritty Kat | Putty Kat* merch 😂
If KAT actually plays like a real big and stretches it out only when he needs to then it can work. Looking into the trade it seems like the Wolves didn’t want to lose Naz Reid, don’t blame them either but yeah ya’ll are correct in that the Knicks needed an interior presence on both ends.
The big problem is his health if he stays healthy it'll work for the Knicks cause the Knicks can get another good defensive player to help that situation now them other teams gotta pay attention to him and Brunson can really work his game... I think this will work
That talk of the off-season has been: "Knicks need a center" Now we trade for a 4 who want to be a 3 and play him at the 5 spot? What? Is this the same guy that Jimmy Butler ran off the court with the second team? That guy? Hes soft. He has a frontrunners mentality. In what logical world is KAT worth Donte and Julius? News Flash: Knicks still need a center.
This is exactly what Towns needed I think the Knicks will be just find they needed more scoring they can put any body with that mentality defense wise on the floor next man up
The Knicks gonna get knocked out in the first round? Miss, what are you talking about? Do you not know that we need a stretch 5? We need to stretch the floor. You can also run a two man game with JB and Kat on the pick and roll and pick and pop. You can't do that with Mitch. The Villanova Boys aint fixing our HUGE issue for a legitimate scoring BIG. Lets get over the sentimental stuff with the Villanova Boys and focus on what we really needed. And trust in Leon Rose - the man has been cooking for the last 3 years totally revamping our roster. I'm not the biggest Kat fan (not a fan at all really), but Im keeping all my receipts for these Kat haters. lol
Knicks is a mentality….I love that. KAT ain’t that. But let me stop acting like I was rocking with the Knicks this whole time. Knicks broke my heart in ‘99. Let’s see how this plays out.
As a Knicks fan, I hate that they got rid of DiVincenzo. He was our Microwave Johnson. Instant offence in a pinch. He single handedly won playoff games. Always worried about KATs headspace
@@Mandownsports yeah, I know. But I just love the comeraderie between the Nova boys. Would've liked to see how it played out. Me, my uncles and cousins talked about getting KAT last year. I asked them, would you rather the Knicks get KAT or Zion
@@bcflavor that will never change for us. There are some other good channels out there who do it that way. Let me know if you want me to point you in the right direction
The good thing is Mitch can come off the bench and not be asked to play big minutes. Precious can play the 4 off the bench ….the pick n pop will be great with Katt and Brunson. But I didn’t like that they got rid of Ragu. Chemistry does matter 🤦🏾♂️. On the Wolves side. They did need another player that can get his own and Ragu will be the shooter and defender they need. Along with those good rookies they picked up
Neither Julius Randle or KAT are better than Boogie Cousins is right now today. Mel was spot on by saying Minnesota should be making the call to make that happen.
It's weird, to me, the disrespect toward Donte D. Folks act like he wasn't an active participant, during his Golden State (championship) time, bringing a championship attitude/frame of mind with him (to New York), which DEFINITELY showed itself during last years' playoffs. Kat ain't won any championships, and, looks soft when it's time to show your toughness. And, again, as far as the toughness aspect, J. Randle was the Knicks' banger, so, who are they gonna replace TOUGHNESS with? Surely, NOBODY's pretending that KAT is gonna fill THAT void! I see injuries coming, because, SOMEBODY'S gonna have to step it up, in the toughness department, or, the other teams are gonna just bully them up & down the court. Where it had been Julius taking the beatings, incurring injuries, now, it's gonna be one of your other, more fragile/less durable, players having to try to bang with the competition. Not pretending that NO move was the right thing (for the Knicks), but, I'm not feeling this one, in terms of the Knicks improving their chances of moving up the Eastern Conference standings. Minnesota should improve, but, as for New York...nahhh
Thibs will get Kat to play well knicks just got better and with Devo i think him going back to the bench would hurt his shooting look at his numbers before he started and started taking more shots after the injuries.. Mel as far as starting lineup i think knicks going Brunson Bridges Hart OG Kat with Robinson being hurt until Dec Jan what do u think??
I think this was a bad move T-Wolves were so close to making the Finals. Now they probably got weaker smh I could be wrong but we will have to wait & see
There's no real centers to trade for actually, so although I don't like KAT either, especially for his huge contract, if the Knicks can thougher him it might be a good fit. If I was a Knicks fan I'd go to the stadium every night with a huge flag with the inscription "KAT🤡" just to motivate him 😂😂 I know it's a huge risk since fans these days got ejected for whatever reason but, maybe they give me a pass.
You guys need two less dudes talking and I don't know her name, but she knows more than all of you, and PLEASE stop interrupting her when she's making a point
Cap lol she's terrible. She interrupted everyone even when bro was trying to make the news break, she used the "broke up the villanova 4" as if that matters at all lmao and is convinced the Knicks are now a first round exist, instead of top 2 in the east which they just made themselves. She's a L. We need more Mel.
towns will be asked to do more traditional center things and he will fail at it and his offense will suffer. divencenzo won’t be getting the same offensive touches on the wolves and i think people overrate randle. seems like a bad trade for all involved
People are forgetting that last year, Dallas exposed Minnesotas' defense and offense last season during the playoffs. That's why Minnesota made the trade, they got tougher on the inside with Randell and deeper with Devencinzo.
Low key Minnesota came out on the better end of the deal…they actually added a complimentary scorer in Divencenzo in certain rotations and off the bench…and 😮as enigmatic as Randle is he’s not a number 1 and can also fit well with Edwards as the number 2 scoring option in the starting lineup
These dudes are casual basketball fans. To think MINNESOTA gives up more. Put some respect on Julius's name. And they get DiVincienzo who will drop around 200-250 3s and is a solid defender on the perimeter really it's a 2 for 1 before KAT makes so much more money
Its a damn shame they broke up the Villanova Knicks. They were the opposite of the super team era that i feel has diminished the NBA. They were shaping up to he a COMPLETE CONTRAST to the notion of having to put two or three All-stars together in order to get it done. They were a team and the chemistry was unreal because it was fostered organically back in college
The Knicks got fleeced!! KAT is a terrible outta control player.. he repeatedly runs over players forcing his way down the lane.. and KAT has no heart! Devincinzo will NOT be the same player in Minnesota trust me!
"GRITTY KAT" 😂😂😂
No real Knicks fan wants GOBERT tf 🙄
I totally totally agree with Dominique 💯💯
The Knicks is not going out the first round stay off the girl!😂
Minesotta just downgraded themselves, Kat was a 20 bucket a game, and he was solid for dealing with bigs on defensive rebounds

1. There were 0 games where Divincenzo scored 40 in the playoffs
2. Gobert is a bum. He helps nothing.
I like the trade for both teams!

Mel as far as starting lineup i think knicks going Brunson Bridges Hart OG Kat with Robinson being hurt until Dec Jan what do u think??
I can see that lineup
Damn, just got to the part where she signs off. You guys are definitely wrong for laughing, while she was trying to explain why that was messed up
@@Puert0ricandream her channel is called Sports Tea. You can see more of her there.
Mitchell Robinson is injured. #theformatpodcast
I think this was a bad move
T-Wolves were so close to making the Finals. Now they probably got weaker smh
I could be wrong but we will have to wait & see
Knicks always know how to ruin things
You know nothing😂
He also is familiar with Tibbs. And of Tibbs didn't want him then he wouldn't be there. #theformatpodcast
@@theformatpodcast1847 agreed
Championship or bust expectation for Knicks..its been awhile
Could have knicks start Robinson and kat and run 3-2 zone lol and just pound teams inside on offense
Just heard they signed Nic Claxton. Mitchell Robinson is done in New York
There's no real centers to trade for actually, so although I don't like KAT either, especially for his huge contract, if the Knicks can thougher him it might be a good fit. If I was a Knicks fan I'd go to the stadium every night with a huge flag with the inscription "KAT🤡" just to motivate him 😂😂

So, KAT is going to look better under Coach Thibs now than when he was coaching Minnesota?
Yep probably so

This is basically how we talk about sports in a barber shop.
Towns is better than both guys...NY if they do this gets the better of the deal!!!
It's done
Naz Reid is not starting what kind of basketball yall watch
CAT isn't blockbluster to me but he's a good offensive player if he can be more consistent.. defense I don't know.. to me the Knicks didn't improve.
Fair enough 👌
Pause to the title. 😂 🙏🏾

Yall need to stick to the casual talk cause its CLEAR yall dont watch the in knicks 😂
No
I totally agree with Sportz Tea. She is right. Towns is not a defensive player nor a winning player, and Di Vincenzo is a great role player
The Kat is no good
Low key Minnesota came out on the better end of the deal…they actually added a complimentary scorer in Divencenzo in certain rotations and off the bench…and 😮as enigmatic as Randle is he’s not a number 1 and can also fit well with Edwards as the number 2 scoring option in the starting lineup
