This is why fans should not be mad at athletes for leaving a team. NO TEAM/FRANCHISE HAS LOYALTY to athletes so why should they?
Exactly. These teams do not care, and they show it every season.
preach!!
Difference is, player empowerment led teams leave organization in ruins
Fans are cool with players get traded when they want to see them go
It's no problem at that point
@scorpionJB difference is a player forcing a trade vs leaving via Free Agency. But Fans get mad regardless when a player signs via free Agency to a team they hate.
@@Tacti_Kal forcing a trade, definitely understand. But we never know what’s going on behind closed doors. What if they treat the athlete a certain way. We won’t ever truly know.
He did 3 things I really loved:
1. Didn't let the media push him to move past KAT, ("he was just here")
2. The comment he made about being coachable, and letting his teammates see him be coached hard
3. How he added "and KD" to the reporter's question about, "being around guys like LeBron and Steph"
Fr, he a real one
@@BeastModeXCIII most definitely, exorcism when measured against his equally aged peers
‼️
He's a HUGE fan of KD lol
feel bad for him man i aint even a wolves fan but that wolves team w/ him & kat was fun as hell
Sports ain't bout fun it's bout wins
@@northsidecjthey aint gonna be winning more with fuckin julius randle & gobert clogging up the floor are they
might go down as one of the craziest what if’s in nba history
Don’t be ridiculous. Ant wanted him gone! True their postgame interviews are fun n funny but KATS personality doesn’t fit their roster anymore…
They got better and Julius is cut from the same cloth as AE
That brotha hurtin 😢
Cause Kat gone
Dosent matter he’s gonna average 32ppg now
@@decarririchardson-curry5851 And still miss the finals
28PPG
He got Rudy he be fine
His answer to being the number one option last season was on point! This shows his growth as a young player and his love for his brother KAT! Love that..
ant finna turn into '05-06 kobe bryant this season
I think he becomes 2003 Kobe. 30ppg, 6apg, and 6rpg
Off 30 shots
He has too much talent around him for that
@@Serching4JerryGarcia bruh stfu stop comparing him to mj & Kobe soon as they compare Tatum or book to Kobe it’s a problem stop comparing ant to them
No he’s not. Not even close
I will miss KAT. He is a good guy and tremendous talent. I wonder if we aren't marginally better now in MN. While I think KAT is the better player than Randle overall, I think Randle could be on the floor more and be more of an impact because he won't commit as many silly fouls. Further, DiVincenzo is going to be a fantastic add....great shooting and toughness.
Randle always hurt…
@@lebronsmissedclutchshot facts
Randle is gonna complain he's way out of Minnesota to min he's doesn't get enough shots
Wolves need to flip Randle and get other value
They dumb as hell trading KAT for randle
I know this trade saved Minnesota 26mill plus randles expiring contract, but it doesn't feel right. You only get certain windows in the NBA to really go for it, especially a Minnesota team.
Having a culture / chemistry that also spreads over to the fans results in more success and therefore more revenue.
Id like to have seen them run it back for one more year.
Its going to be interesting to see where these new salary cap rules take the NBA, its not going to be worth signing players to max deals, and that hurts small market teams, which is the opposite of what the salary cap is meant to protect.
Guess it is the NBA, entertainment money over competitive basketball.
They were banking on winning the title last season to determine if it was worth it to bleed money. I honestly think this trade was happening whether they won or not.
Sucks, but they woulda lost Naz and nickeil in free agency next year both pretty important for the team
second apron brother, not how it works anymore
Trade had to happen regardless , But the WHO was the question@Bran-Da-Don
That’s just not how it works anymore with the 2nd apron. There is now a hard cap for a team’s net salaries before you are restricted from making any more signings or extensions. Same reason why Nuggets had to let KCP go. The new rule is making it really difficult to maintain a contending roster
My boy said “wuz hannin” lmao too Atlanta 0:11
😂😂😂
@@chrispeeples6961he Comeing home
@@KendariusHarris-h2lno he not lmao
How can you not like him lol. He handled every question like a seasoned vet but with his great personality. My T'wolves better do everything in their power to keep him happy and build a championship team around him.
bro sound 8 years in 😂💯
Huge respect to Ant, can’t go mentioning LeBron and Steph’s name at the Olympics and just leave out KD. Real class move.
i think he said AD
Yes he can
I have no problem with it
Randle is definitely for the mentality of team, people don't randle at his best when he the 2nd or 3rd option 🙌
No spacing and he very emotional. He miss a few shots or foul a lot etc. he checks out mebtally
@@kingklassic3522true indeed, poor spacing, poor shot selection, he holds the ball too long, and he struggles to pass out of the double team.
@@TigerCraneLove look at him with the pelicans or even the Lakers he only got shot selection bc not used to being n1 option😭
@@TigerCraneLove this is a lie he's one of the best passing out of doubles based on stats. Embiid is horrible.
@@cambury what are the stats?
Was that trump 1:18 lmaooooo
😂😂😂
Boyyyyyyy !!!!! Lmfaooooooooooooooo
LOLLLLLLLL
💀
lmfaooo
As a Knicks fan, it wasn’t easy seeing Randle and DiVincenzo go but I do think the Knicks are a better team with KAT. However, I do think that Minnesota came out winners in this trade. I have a feeling that Randle and DiVincenzo are going to be a great fit for Minnesota.
Yea, you don't watch Minnesota.
New York second round playoff next year, they suck,for sure
Def agree
“KD” 😂😂
ant a real 1
Minnesota got too much on the books lmao cant pay everyone
They went cheap and didn’t wanna pay the tax lol. And just had arguably their most successful season. At least give it another season then make a move
@@deezpleez3832 THANK YOU! MN had the formula perfectly setup and completely curtailed the formation, especially as you mentioned - after having their most successful season*, WTF?! I'm still fairly new to basketball so I don't have comprehensive knowledge of enough players throughout the league yet, but one I thing I'm sure of are KAT's invaluable qualities. I don't know anything about Randle, so cannot comment, though I have heard Di is supposed to be a reliable scorer. The general consensus says Randle is mediocre at best an if that is the case, it'll infuriate me. Do you know much on these players? Will they make MN improve?
@@Shereef-uh9pcRandle def not mediocre,without watching him you could’ve just looked him up and see he’s been All-NBA player lol(top 15 in the the league)
@@baccendtyy1254 I don’t think he’s mediocre, that’s just the general perception I’ve sensed of him through the reaction of the trade from Wolves fans. Of course, I’d need to watch him play myself to make an accurate, reliable judgement, so that’s why it would be stupid for me to personally write him off even the trade isn’t popular.
The wolves won't get lucky this year nuggets will be sending then home in the playoff and win it all again!!!
They lost Bro at staunch😂
It was a 🗑️ question lmfao
Yep it was a shitty question, you talking about ppl trashing gobert then in the same sentence use the word staunch defender, it sounded to me he said those ppl trashing Gobert was his staunch defenders, it doesn't make any sense.
Had me at “you mean teammate!”😂😂😂😂
at least he owned it instead of pretending he knew what he meant 😂
@@ceebs83Youre simple. Ant clearly knew what it meant you dang racist. Ant was objecting to "staunch defender" and saying he was just being a good teammate because teammate ARE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND EACH OTHER
Youre the one who doesnt understand simple things
5:28 made sure to add KD🥹🥹
Why tf would yall want to play Gobert next to Randle? Timberwolves just don’t care for spacing
They’re really buying in that McDaniels and ANT will be consist 40% 3pt shooters, but the spacing is terrible because Randle can not make. threes consistently
What about Randle and Mitch?
randle had amazing numbers with mitch
Not gonna work
@@ll_ou2976 He had good accumilative numbers because his usage was so high with the Knicks. But his efficiency, esspecially as a 3 point shooter is awful. He was 31% last season, 32% over the last 3 seasons.
Hope they unleash Naz Reid more, scared Randell might have a role clash on the offensive end. Donte fits perfect with the wolves
Knicks fan here: You guys have a great one in Anthony. Hope everyone stays healthy and enjoy the season 🙏🏽
I hope the Wolves don't overuse him and burn him out. All this ( Greatest player ever) talk could lead to a D-Rose situation
He won't ever be as good as jokic forget about being the best ever which is jordan
5ive is the 5ace of the NBA 🐜
Randle not just some player but it’ll be interesting to see how it’ll work out
I like they now have another guy that can create for himself but … that’s kinda what he does most. If he could pick and pop/fade etc … itd be a good fit.
It’s crazy I’m from Mississippi now I live here in Minnesota
That spacing is going to be terrible. 😅
It took them awhile to find it with KAT and Rudy and now you have to figure that out with Julius?
And KAT spaces the floor 10x better than Randle lol.
We’ll see though.
We KILT that Rudy trade and it actually worked out for them in hindsight so we’ll see about this one.
Go back check the stats and tell me who’s grabbing more boards ehhhh points ast etc steals blocks it’s kinda pointless you said this
I honestly see naz reid starting and randle coming off the bench so the spacing would still be aight
@@shawn17g 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣. You need glasses then.
@@shawn17g Reid is not even half the player that Randle is. Some you guys are trippin
I like that guy, his attitude and his confidence that's also tempered with humility. He's grown mentally more over the summer. Being an Olympic Champion playing with and against the greater players on the planet probably has huge input in that. Keep growing, keep grinding... an NBA Championship eventually awaits him if he does.
“ kd “ bro had to add him in the conversation 😂😂
He didn’t lose much trust me KAT is an undisciplined fouling machine. This is an upgrade
Julius Randal is a super downgrade from Kat.
Heavy on the business brother keep that in mind YALL go ball regardless
But as a bron fan ant give me joy to keep watching knowing these guys go get even colder
this why I respect ant a lot , he’s confident but not arrogant or too cocky , just cocky enough to where it’s not dramatic.. he continues to improve as well .. he’s been my second fav since late 2022 (behind kyrie) .. don’t regret it lol I’ll be entertained when kyrie retires lol
They are going to trade for KD. Mark my words.
I can see it, honestly
Well they should've tried kat for ke
I hope! Just imagine that lineup
Conley
Ant
Jaden
KD
Gobert
I think this trade was a setup for a bigger move, but we'll see. I'm just hoping they don't have to give up any of their key role players to get KD if they make that move . Maybe NY was the only team that could take on Kats contract. I definitely seen rumors about the pelicans , a combo package of Ingram and some other pieces
@@Jevonechy….you think Randle gets them KD??
@larrybird6860 not just Randle. They would add more, but he would definitely be a part of that trade if it were to happen
This hurt him, beside playin with Kat on the court....He really enjoyed havin him around on n off the court.....
LETS GO ANT ‘ YOU GOT THIS
He's already talking positive of his new teammates, love it.
Knick fan here...ball out Ant..imma fan!!!
Bro, thank you for this. Ant is the only opinion I care about regarding the subject.
He gonna love Julius Randle and Donte
cant wait to see Ant get his first ring.. i hope he stays focused and has a healthy injury-free career. lots of love from VA brotha!
Love the way he handles himself
They putting too much pressure on him lol best player ever is crazyyy.
You see his shoulders and those python arms? He can handle that weight
Fax he’s far frm that 😂
He believes it though which is pretty refreshing to see. I think he'll go down as a great when it's all said and done and idk how other people can't see that
I've been around basketball long enough and I've never been excited to see a new player come in like Anthony Edwards the last time we anyone was this excited was Derrick Rose Michael Jordan spoke on Anthony Edwards multiple times he is that good it's in a great time to pay attention
Its not wrong to say he has potential. He can definitely do it
the aura goat is back!!!
It hit me through the screen him and bron and ja
tricks on it
⏸️
fax
Ant really does have the potential to be the best player ever ngl. People expecting a ring already forget Jordan didnt win until his 7th year.
Dillingham about to go crazy he’s a monster
The Wolves brass is gamblimg on Ant going nuclear next season and beyond. That trade is a huge gamble aside from a clear salary dump to avoid the luxury tax.
That brotha holding back a smile of joy🎉🎉
Solid pick ups for both teams . Especially Donte
Letting him Coach me !!
That’s a beautiful thing!!!
Coaching matters
"Some guys don't believe it and put the work in, some guys believe it and don't put the work in..I believe it, and I put the work in, so it's going to happen...." That was a BAR..
Yo these questions right off the bat are all off kilter man. Every reporter straight to business looking for a sound bite or story. Nobody asking human questions like “how was your summer, what did you do outside of basketball”. Straight to talking about Rudy Gobert slander, talking about did management ask you about Kat, talking about you the next GOAT?
I love how he always gives KD his credit.
GOAT Status already??? This is insane!?!! SMH
I'm not defending them, but i think they meant he potentially could be by the end of his career
Jordan was crowned the goat and got a statue in 89’ before even winning a second round playoff series???
To be fair, MJ was called that a few years before winning his first ring. And he was lime 26-ish
^^ To the dudes above he's not MJ. He's not even D wade yet
Them post game interviews will be missed
It’s refreshing seeing players speak like this to certain questions
ANT very good at interviews and down to earth
That last line he said... This is da man!
Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
"...Which prolly will happen." Man's got the of aura of a champion! The goat
Ppl will hate you for no reason, but others will love you for what you do.
He’s great with media. Answers sketchy questions with ease
You know ant wants to say "why couldn't the trade Rudy and keep Kat ?" Defensive player of the year and all gotta bring something.
Actually I just got some new ones... Casually throws his foot up on the table😂😂😂
It's obvious to see that he is still growing as a player which is cool he needs to take leadership and run with it!
Damn, that last response was hard af. Ant will be a goat. No doubt.
Well at least we won't have to see a bunch of bricked 3's by a center who wants to be Steph Curry.
Ant man handled these questions like a G!!!!!
3:57 says it all. I'm a Lakers fan but I genuinely rooted for this team this postseason and felt they could win it all. This trade was one of the stupidest basketball trades I've seen recently. KAT was one of the top 2 players on the team and him and Ant they were really close.
Love how he said ...KD
These damn media always pushing steph and lebron bs...
Similar to how they tried to cut out KOBE from the goat convo...but thank God, real ones always know 💯 😂
This dude has MJ’s arm band, voice & cadence.
But not his IQ, skillset, athleticism, or mentality. So nothing that actually matters. lol
@@x-man9473he definitely has the skillset/athletics
Ant's athleticism has been compared to 86-93 MJ
He also has the mentality, seeing MJ had his set backs earlier on too.
Not saying ANT is mj. Of course not. But hes similar
@@FreshPrincex4 They are definitely not similar in skillset. MJ's repertoire, defense, post up game, mid range, off ball game, and overall offensive production is WAY better.
Ant also doesn't have MJ's mentality. MJ always assumes he should learn more. Ant thinks he knows it all and gets arrogant very quickly when he accomplishes the bare minimum.
Ant is compared to MJ because he looks like him and has a similar fadeaway move. They are very different in everything else.
No he doesn't 🙄
7:03 these the AE exclusive! 😂😂
They fire 🔥 whole shoe line is tbh
@@notpg13 facts. They cooked with the AE1
Definitely don’t think this trade helped MIN in any way from a win now POV.
They had to get rid of Gobert, he is unplayable in the playoffs.
@@jesseb5985🎯
bench depth, Randle has more playoff experience and is a more clutch option
😂 bro they added a nice defensive shooter and Julius Randle if he can stay healthy is way more aggressive big than kat he just can’t shoot as well . I think it’s a solid trade and great addition to what they already have cause this team dangerous
@@Zayto_98 I’m not saying they didn’t do that. I’m saying I don’t see how it helps them now. You can trade away AE for Trae Young and yes, you added a nice scorer who can shoot, but how does it BETTER the team? Part of MIN identity was their size especially with the 3 centers. Randle has girth but he can’t spread the floor like KAT. It’s just my initial perspective. We’ll see how it plays out.
That man was reading when talking about Rudy 😂😂😂😂
I would start Naz Reid and then make Randall the primary scorer on the bench. That could work out, but Randall and Rudy is madness.
He ain’t hurtin he reading the responses of the paper
Honestly I’d start naz and bring Randle as 6 man to keep spacing n everything else the same but bring in a whole new rotation
1:15 are you the leader now bro been the leader 😂
He was like “what??” 😂😂
He was on a Plane? I'm quite sure, they had to let the best player on the Team know. They were looking to Trade KAT, so i'm calling CAP on Ant Man.
Possibly front office made sure he was flying before they told him. If not, then yeah he has to be media trained for the PR of the Wolves. He's a professional.
Either way, its more of a none of your business type thing so perfect answer from AE
The d ridding for this man is crazy not even a 10 in the league right now talking about goat status
Bro there’s no way they trade KAT without asking Edwards first.
Ofc and if he says no and they still trade him then 2 things happen one his ego is hurt and the other he won’t let the public know they went over his head
Young Buck will be all right
Anthony doesn’t come off like the fake type who lies. He doesn’t give political answers. I don’t think he knew
@@litecodes3552 that’s cap. All nba organizations cater to their franchise superstar. You are not risking your potential franchise goat getting aggravated and leaving. This trade isn’t greenlit without his consent. Even his reasoning for being surprised is flawed. “Oh I was on the plane” like bro they don’t make random trades without weeks if not months of prep. Tryna act like that trade began and ended on that flight is disingenuous.
@@csharp57 ok
@@csharp57 they never “know”
god i love the way he deflects the petty gosship questions
it’s funny asl i just remembered i was talking about if Ant was on the Knicks they got Karl Antony instead 😂😂
The one thing you never want to hear your star player say...."it's a business" because that now goes both ways.
Them playing on Christmas is crazy
People forget Randle can play a center, hes 6 ft 8 big body guy. Minnesota got 2 extremely good pieces. Knicks are going to miss Divo.
Ant working on catch and shoot 3 is scary because he was statistically a better catch and shoot player than KAT last year. Need his off the dribble to get to the same level and he is easily top 5
Kat had to go. You could tell in the playoffs. Big man with no post game and commits dumb fouls. This new Wolves team will be better
He did struggle but he did help them get their
Anthony Edward's 2024-2025
77 GMS
32.4 PPG
6.7 RPG
5.2 APG
1.8 SPG
47.8/38.4/86.7
He snuck the hoop earrings in like Jordam 🔥
The amount of aura he has is insane
Best of luck to you guys this season. Show Magic those skills.
Why are the players all such apologists with the same “It’s a business “ cliche answer? The NBA no longer lets teams gel except for golden state
cos going on a tantrum will just make things worse. think a little
7:09 love ant man 😭
Ant numbers about to go crazy this year MVP numbers mark this comment
Him and Randle not gone get alone hate to say it.
5ive is the 5ace. ant you are #1
He gona be a real pro see how he answered the questions
Minnesota traded kat for a whip I’m truly gonna miss kat playing with ant man they were always fun to watch in minnesota 😢❤️
AE1s are cold im making a collection
😂😂Kd
One thing Ant gonna do is mention Kevin 😂😂
Ant knows ball 💯
Ant a real one, you can't go and disrespect KD in front of him
He made sure the reporter ain’t forget KD name 😭 5:27
That’s why I’m not mad at Lebron for taking his talent to Miami or Kobe asking for a trade. Those teams are jobs and jobs are not loyal.
