I agree. If you want to win a championship, you need guys who step up in the playoffs. No one has ever said that about Towns.... or Randle for that matter. I see the Thunder coming out of the West if they're healthy. Not sure about the East but the Celtics are still the team to beat.
@@randygraham926 as a mavs fan I agree , the thunder were already the number 1 seeed & they got bettter . Like seriously they lose giddey and gain caruso & hartenstien ? Damn that’s tough.

I think the Knicks should have kept Hartenstein, cheaper & more consistent, but Kat can definitely ball & they needed a big. People are overlooking how good this is for the Wolves. They have Gobert & Reid for bigs already, so didn't need Kat, & now have DiVincenzo for amazing depth at the perimeter. This guy would be a starter on most teams. Even if Randle gets injured again, Reid & McDaniels are there. The Timberwolves are SERIOUSLY stacked.
I think the knicks losing donte is being heavily underated right now, they are gonna feel that one big time. He was the opposite of kat he played big in the clutch
Towns will be good on the Knicks... Until he gets flustered in a high pressure situation, loses his cool and takes himself out of the games with the dumbest fouls imaginable. Who's going to protect him from the media in NYC?
I agree. You're paying him 50 MILLION and he goes completely missing in too many games. And he makes poor decisions. If the Knicks fans start chewing his ass out ... he will quit.
I agree also. Usually when he first gets the ball, he fires up a 3 or he bulls his way to the basket picking up his 1st offensive foul. A few minutes later will try another drive and run someone over. Picks up another foul swiping at the ball beginning of 2nd quarter and there he is. Sitting on the bench until the 3rd quarter.
@@amazonfinds9157you think Randle is going to give any ground to a guy like Naz Reid? As in Julius Randle? He'll shove Naz in a wood chipper if he could for more playing time. Randle is all about his.

I was about to post the same thing, but you beat me to it! February 28th, 2003: The Knicks retire Patrick Ewing's number 33 in front of family, friends, and all of New York City!
Celtics may not have a top-5 player but they have a Tatum-Brown combo which is quite close to a Jordan-Pippen combo or Malone-Stockton. They also endured so many failures in the playoffs and NBA finals losses so that championship didnt come easy. Celts have so many good role players too and they have White and Holiday who are toop-5 on defense. Randle is at best a third-option. This is bad for the Twolves. Naz Reid is not KAT. He's a good role player but not in KAT's level. For many games, Ant was passive, very passive. He might develop into a legit superstar but you always need a 1-2 or even a 1-2-3 punch anyway to go deep in the playoffs. Hopefully someone else steps up but I highly doubt it. Playoffs is about counter-attacks. Even if someone is good on one game, coaches will plan a counter-attack and neutralise that player. The all-stars and superstars rise above these counterattacks. This trade is great for the Knicks. Brunson & KAT are the 1-2 punch. Then you have Bridges which can create shots as well and you have good role players too. Playoff contender? Hopefully. ECF? They should go for it. NBA Finals? Why not?
Man Brunson did them a HUUUUGE favor with the payout, you rarely see that these days. They have a few overpaid guys, OG is a solid player, but the contract is crazy, as is Bridges. I think KAT is a legit max player, but can be a bit frustrating. Still a farrrr better situation than say Denver though, that team is getting hard carried by Jokic. Murray is NOT a max player, and we saw that this past postseason when he actually played against real playoff defense, but it's MPJ contract is the one that blows me away. They legit blew a window because they gave him the same extension Luka and SGA got, absolute madness.
The Warriors with Igoudala and Draymond Green peaked because 1-5 could switch defensively and create offensively. The knicks had 8 guys who could do that effectively, before this trade. They threw that possible versatility away for KAT. A clumsy 7-footer who just showed all his deficiencies in the playoff series against the Mavs. The knicks will regret this trade ROYALY.

The NBA, like everything else in life, is about relationships. Leon Rose, Knicks prez, was Jalen’s agent and literally his godfather. Jalen didn’t give up his first born. He got money guaranteed sooner. Also, he’s got an opportunity for another big contract. A better chance for a championship (greater happiness) instead of a few million he doesn’t have and doesn’t need is a great deal for a man with $250m guaranteed.
i kinda feel like KAT had great growth last season though. he was committing less bad fouls, and actually hustling on defense for once. imagine if he improves on that again, he could actually be a top player in the league this upcoming season.
Best part of this trade is it exposes how garbage wanna be contenders are gonna be fighting for the play-in spots at their best…lakers, warriors and heat have garbage rosters destined for lottery team status. 🤣

As a New York native who has lived most of his life in Minnesota, I’m a huge fan of both teams and follow them closely. At a base level, I think this trade makes sense. The Knicks had a serious deficit at Center after Hartenstein signed with the Thunder. Also with Kat’s max contract kicking in, and all the draft picks traded away in the Gobert trade, the Wolves had zero flexibility for years to come. You could also argue that the Wolves maxed out their potential last year, and the competition in the league is only getting stronger. I hope I’m wrong, but ultimately I feel like this is a lose-lose trade. I think every single player involved will play worse on their new team, and will have a negative effect on the current team chemistry which has been a strength for both teams. I don’t think this is a good fit for anyone.
This will hurt Minny short term. The space KAT created around Gobert will be missed. Betting on a big development for Naz Reid it feels like. But long-term this should be good but I would have been happier to see Gobert for Randle done. Gobert plus Robinson would make a scary interior for the Knicks as you can play 1 or the other the entire game so elite rim protection for the full 48mins. Randle, KAT and Reid is a solid front court rotation for the wolves. Wolves do have some young guys like Miller coming up, so might be counting on their development too in the near future.
Kat will probably even bring more fans with the big dominican community in NY. If they can get thim to play defense like he did on Jokic last year he'll be a plus.
I think this is a w for the knicks, kat is the type of player they need he’s a good shot maker and with the knicks defensive coach will be awsome pair with him
People sponsored by underdog were at the Diddy parties! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just like LeBron.... 🤷 That maid outfit tells us EVERYTHING we need to know about LeBron 😋🍆🥴🍆🤤🍆🤣🍆
Why ? For the wolves Kat needed to go, Naz Reid gonna explode and di Vincenzo 6th man of the year. And for NY they needed a big man who actually plays…
I think Wolves management had been mulling a KAT trade for some time now, they've realized he isn't taking them all the way. This is a way to get flexibility while auditioning Naz Reid for a bigger role. Randle will also be stoked to play better to get a new contract, and whatever happens his contract gives them options for other trades, either going all-in for winning now (Kevin Durant) or building a core around Anthony Edwards (role players, picks). Randle was the odd man out in New York, and the trade was bound to happen, I just didn't see it happening too soon. Robinson's recovery is likely to take longer than expected, so Knicks brass had to pull the trigger. KAT is a better offensive option than Randle, and he will be Brunson insurance down the line. The loss of DiVicenzo is not major, talent-wise, but I think it'll hurt their chemistry some.
And finally the East is gonna be more exciting to watch and balanced like the West coast. Celtics, 76ers, Knicks all Tear 1 team now and the Bucks and Pacers are following right behind.
I could see Minnesota being a better team after this. They got a solid rotation piece in donte, Julius randle is going to play with an extra chip on his shoulder... And he and Gobert should easily be able to play on the floor together... nas Reid is ready to step up....Plus they got a pick and out of the kat contact they didn't want... Trade also works out for NY as randle wasn't really going to mesh with these guys. Win win
My bet for ANT Man to be scoring leader next year is looking even better. I doubt the wolves are keeping Randle they just wanted devincinzo they will trade Randle now as well
I like it for both. They don’t have to keep Randle and they got a great shooter in Donte. They need a guard like him since their bench is pretty weak. It can be a win if Randle can play at all star level
I agree with Am this makes a lot of sense for Minnesota in the future Randle and Kat are both very flawed stars who are both bad playoff performers but Randle is on an expiring deal and Kat is locked in until 2028. And Donte is amazing they are bench with Naz Reid and Donte is gonna be amazing. In the future this makes sense Gobert is also gonna be a free agent soon so they have a lot of choices to make to what they are gonna do with there roster and a lot of flexibility now that Kat is gone.
So an all nba player getting paid less than 30 million dollars is a negative asset? He also has ALWAYS been healthy except for this year idk what you mean, Randle is pretty good
@@jacklike2526Randle is coming off a major injury and wants a max extension. That contract number means nothing, he’s getting extended. He’s also one of the worst playoff performers in NBA history.
Also from what I've seen (maybe a combined 10-12 games) i really not really high on KAT at all, he's OK but he shot HORRIBLE!!! From the field against the mavs
Dude you forgot brown snd tatum is much younger than brunson and towns Yes the celtics does not have a top 3 player but tatum is a top 5 player and his 6'9 can play defense and has an all around game whille brunson is a 6'ft guard 1 injury aways from being a negative assett
Think you're way underestimating how this is going to affect the Timberwolves. Won't matter how good Ant is this year, they're taking a step back -- and not a small one. When Rudy Gobert is getting played off the floor (and making max money) and the Wolves are forced to go real small, that's when they're going to feel it -- maybe against Denver again. If they were paying Gobert a salary appropriate to his ACTUAL value in this 2nd apron era (closer to Clint Capela or even Hartenstein), the Wolves wouldn't have had to make this trade and could've spent the extra money on a shooter that fell through the cracks -- Gary Trent comes to mind. But Gobert is making about 25 million too much, so I'd be on the lookout for how that Gobert trade evaluation ages; when it happened many said it was an overpay and would wreck the franchise for years. After last year's success, those evaluators had to eat a little crow -- now they can stop. There's a good chance that trade will most definitely wreck the franchise down the line.
I feel bad for donte ,the knicks needed his shooting and his defence and he was a great addition to the team, and meshed well with his fellow villanova teammates, And he’s just gone,just like that! It sucks for him, now who is gonna be the knick’s best 3 point shooter?
Which game 7? certainly not game 7 against the Mavs, cause that didnt even go to 7 lol. Ant mostly carried this team to the Conference Finals and when he was tired, nobody picked it up, certainly not max contract 50 mill per year Towns.
I’m confused if Kat contract was a bad contract then why did Minnesota sing him to a max deal!? Like they didn’t have to do that if u was going to trade him anyway. You could come a sign and trade
It's simple, Minnesota can't keep up with all the big contracts, their owner is not Ballmer :D And the Knicks needed a big guy otherwise they wouldn't be championship contenders. So end of story both team what they can utilize more. Knicks a big man who can be 4 and 5, shoots good, got better at defense and they needed someone to match up with Embiid, Giannis and Porzingis on the East. The Minnesota got a "dog" who can fight like Ant. Play fast basketball and rebound. Freed some cap space, got a really good 6th man - DiVincenzo, who can shoot and Randle can provide a 20pts 10reb game as a PF.

At a base level, I think this trade makes sense. The Knicks had a serious deficit at Center after Hartenstein signed with the Thunder. Also with Kat’s max contract kicking in, and all the draft picks traded away in the Gobert trade, the Wolves had zero flexibility for years to come. You could also argue that the Wolves maxed out their potential last year, and the competition in the league is only getting stronger.
I hope I’m wrong, but ultimately I feel like this is a lose-lose trade. I think every single player involved will play worse on their new team, and will have a negative effect on the current team chemistry which has been a strength for both teams. I don’t think this is a good fit for anyone.
This will hurt Minny short term. The space KAT created around Gobert will be missed.
Betting on a big development for Naz Reid it feels like.
But long-term this should be good but I would have been happier to see Gobert for Randle done. Gobert plus Robinson would make a scary interior for the Knicks as you can play 1 or the other the entire game so elite rim protection for the full 48mins.
Randle, KAT and Reid is a solid front court rotation for the wolves.
Wolves do have some young guys like Miller coming up, so might be counting on their development too in the near future.
As a knicks fan I wish we kept donte man
Kat will probably even bring more fans with the big dominican community in NY. If they can get thim to play defense like he did on Jokic last year he'll be a plus.
The wolves seem to focus on scoring, when it was their defense that set the apart from other teams in the west
KAT is often disinterested in defense.
even if they dont win a championship, its nice they are actually trying to be good again and in the conversation.
I think this is a w for the knicks, kat is the type of player they need he’s a good shot maker and with the knicks defensive coach will be awsome pair with him
I think this was a great move for them to put them in contention
People sponsored by underdog were at the Diddy parties! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just like LeBron.... 🤷 That maid outfit tells us EVERYTHING we need to know about LeBron 😋🍆🥴🍆🤤🍆🤣🍆
Terrible trade
Why ? For the wolves Kat needed to go, Naz Reid gonna explode and di Vincenzo 6th man of the year. And for NY they needed a big man who actually plays…
I think Wolves management had been mulling a KAT trade for some time now, they've realized he isn't taking them all the way. This is a way to get flexibility while auditioning Naz Reid for a bigger role. Randle will also be stoked to play better to get a new contract, and whatever happens his contract gives them options for other trades, either going all-in for winning now (Kevin Durant) or building a core around Anthony Edwards (role players, picks). Randle was the odd man out in New York, and the trade was bound to happen, I just didn't see it happening too soon. Robinson's recovery is likely to take longer than expected, so Knicks brass had to pull the trigger. KAT is a better offensive option than Randle, and he will be Brunson insurance down the line. The loss of DiVicenzo is not major, talent-wise, but I think it'll hurt their chemistry some.
And finally the East is gonna be more exciting to watch and balanced like the West coast. Celtics, 76ers, Knicks all Tear 1 team now and the Bucks and Pacers are following right behind.
Love this trade Brunson and KAT pick N pop going to be fire 🔥
Hey fans and online reporters OG is remaining in the NY Knicks starting lineup in the 2022-25 NBA season.
I could see Minnesota being a better team after this. They got a solid rotation piece in donte, Julius randle is going to play with an extra chip on his shoulder... And he and Gobert should easily be able to play on the floor together... nas Reid is ready to step up....Plus they got a pick and out of the kat contact they didn't want... Trade also works out for NY as randle wasn't really going to mesh with these guys. Win win
I was surprised that Kat went to the Knicks for Julius Randle 😂
I was like Really Julius Randle ❓
This really is a huge gamble. I'm here to witness either success or failure.
My bet for ANT Man to be scoring leader next year is looking even better. I doubt the wolves are keeping Randle they just wanted devincinzo they will trade Randle now as well
Randle can’t stay healthy, so it’s a solid move for the Knicks.
How are the Timberwolves getting younger without Draft Picks (Gobert Trade)?
Great trade for both sides imo, and even if not for the wolves, its great for ant
I like it for both. They don’t have to keep Randle and they got a great shooter in Donte. They need a guard like him since their bench is pretty weak. It can be a win if Randle can play at all star level
I agree with Am this makes a lot of sense for Minnesota in the future Randle and Kat are both very flawed stars who are both bad playoff performers but Randle is on an expiring deal and Kat is locked in until 2028. And Donte is amazing they are bench with Naz Reid and Donte is gonna be amazing. In the future this makes sense Gobert is also gonna be a free agent soon so they have a lot of choices to make to what they are gonna do with there roster and a lot of flexibility now that Kat is gone.
Knicks fleeced them lmao, casuals will say otherwise. Randle is a negative asset.
Naw KAT soft in the playoffs too and losing Donte will be a mistake
@@silvertigerhd7401such a casual take.
So an all nba player getting paid less than 30 million dollars is a negative asset? He also has ALWAYS been healthy except for this year idk what you mean, Randle is pretty good
@@jacklike2526Randle is coming off a major injury and wants a max extension. That contract number means nothing, he’s getting extended. He’s also one of the worst playoff performers in NBA history.
Also from what I've seen (maybe a combined 10-12 games) i really not really high on KAT at all, he's OK but he shot HORRIBLE!!! From the field against the mavs
Rudy, Ant and Randle. That defence will be insane
Dude you forgot brown snd tatum is much younger than brunson and towns
Yes the celtics does not have a top 3 player but tatum is a top 5 player and his 6'9 can play defense and has an all around game whille brunson is a 6'ft guard 1 injury aways from being a negative assett
Think you're way underestimating how this is going to affect the Timberwolves. Won't matter how good Ant is this year, they're taking a step back -- and not a small one. When Rudy Gobert is getting played off the floor (and making max money) and the Wolves are forced to go real small, that's when they're going to feel it -- maybe against Denver again. If they were paying Gobert a salary appropriate to his ACTUAL value in this 2nd apron era (closer to Clint Capela or even Hartenstein), the Wolves wouldn't have had to make this trade and could've spent the extra money on a shooter that fell through the cracks -- Gary Trent comes to mind. But Gobert is making about 25 million too much, so I'd be on the lookout for how that Gobert trade evaluation ages; when it happened many said it was an overpay and would wreck the franchise for years. After last year's success, those evaluators had to eat a little crow -- now they can stop. There's a good chance that trade will most definitely wreck the franchise down the line.
I feel bad for donte ,the knicks needed his shooting and his defence and he was a great addition to the team, and meshed well with his fellow villanova teammates, And he’s just gone,just like that! It sucks for him, now who is gonna be the knick’s best 3 point shooter?
Netflix gotta hire this guy to write scripts for them.
Are we gonna forget the game 7 that KAT carried Anthony Edwards through
Which game 7? certainly not game 7 against the Mavs, cause that didnt even go to 7 lol. Ant mostly carried this team to the Conference Finals and when he was tired, nobody picked it up, certainly not max contract 50 mill per year Towns.
nuggets @@maxmeier532
what yall think of DM doing to the knicks instead?
This guy gets it this trade can be good for both teams that’s ok
I've been waiting for this video 😂😂oh and first
biggest factor is Thibs wanting KAT as his big man for the Knicks. Reunited.
I’m confused if Kat contract was a bad contract then why did Minnesota sing him to a max deal!? Like they didn’t have to do that if u was going to trade him anyway. You could come a sign and trade
It's simple, Minnesota can't keep up with all the big contracts, their owner is not Ballmer :D And the Knicks needed a big guy otherwise they wouldn't be championship contenders. So end of story both team what they can utilize more. Knicks a big man who can be 4 and 5, shoots good, got better at defense and they needed someone to match up with Embiid, Giannis and Porzingis on the East. The Minnesota got a "dog" who can fight like Ant. Play fast basketball and rebound. Freed some cap space, got a really good 6th man - DiVincenzo, who can shoot and Randle can provide a 20pts 10reb game as a PF.
Another team's trash is another team's treasure
