- The New York Knicks may have made the trade of the decade as while Karl Anthony Towns is playing the best basketball of his life, the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves are sputtering as Julius Randle and Donte Divincenzo struggle to find their footing. Chris Gallagher breaks it all down.

Honestly, I would like to have Donte back on our squad.
Yea and a Steve Mills statue in front of the garden
I would only be willing to trade Jericho Sims, Landry Shamet, & 2 draft picks to get Devo back next season. (Take it or Leave it)
I’d be down but the problem is you have to move Mitch in the process and your low block defense becomes super worrisome
Getting Debo back could be risky, his level of play may carry over to the Knicks. I wouldn't take the risk. Look @ what's happening with Mikal Bridges.
@@luismatthew5875I think Divo would be fine if he comes back next season with the Knicks because he’s with his boys and back in the place where he had a career year. I think because the trade took place so close to the beginning of the season it threw everything off when it comes to his game play trying to fit into a new system with new players.
Donte is more comfortable playing in Thibs's system. Bring him back!
Can't until the end of the season
@@Juan_rivera we COULD if the twolves waive him
Bring Donte back!
divencenzo returning should be a front office stealth priority…..and the Knicks with injuries are top 5 in the conference with 64 games left….like what are we doing here?
Yeah but we're not doing so great ourselves we're only two games over 500. NYK are very inconsistent and bad defensively . Playing well below expectation.
to be fair we're dealing with injuries to players who will help with our biggest struggles, while minnesota is mediocre while fully healthy
We haven't been healthy all season. Relax
I was gonna said but Exactly
I think Knicks are currently experiencing problems with defense because of Coach thibs himself. Thibs appears to be indifferent to giving the Starters enough time to rest their bodies. Playing both sides of the ball (Offense/Defense) takes its toll during a game, causing players to be fatigued during the latter part of the third Quarter into the fourth quarter . Constantly playing Starters 40 + minute's a game causing fatigued which causes Injuries. Coach needs to use more of the Bench players to give Starters more time to rest. Expand the rotation to 9 or 10.😢 Coach lacks proper time Management planning for Starters.
I agree that Thibs needs to use his bench more. They may not be high in offensive firepower, but bringing in some energy and hustle is an intangible. Hukporti and Dadiet should get more minutes. Hopefully when Achiuwa returns, that will add some toughness.
Trading for Kat is fine but the knicks play zero defense since this trade took place. It feels like both teams are struggling
Correct
I can see the hit in the interior defense, but it goes beyond this trade a lot iHeart leaving. We couldn’t do anything about kind of it was what it was. He was gonna take the bag family mom but he’s hurt now anyway but that’s whatever Mitchell Robinson expected to be hurt, but we either need to have him play or trade in person who can fly and I think people are under us. Meaning a lot is precious. Achiuwa is coming back he is going to help us in the paint. What do you fence heavy not get for blocks again but he will help us in the pain with the fence and him or Mitchell Robinson or not gonna take any shots away from these guys they’re just going to help us with the fence in the paint and that’s what we need. There was other guys out there like I really wanted like a Jalen Smith maybe but he signed with the bulls right away a few other guys just for defense but once December comes all free agents can be traded. Maybe we take one piece for some defense down lol maybe not Ariel is really good he’s young now gonna be tough to earn minutes but he looks better than Sims in my opinion.
That comment is kind of butchered. I’m driving to work using my voice recorder, so if it doesn’t make sense you can Chyna read like I wasn’t meaning to type anything about my mom I think I said he can’t blame them for taking the bag but you can prolly decode it if you look at it.
Nobody win this trade we need Donte back he play better in thibs system
they been struggling ode , but I want divo back
I miss the the 2023-2024 team, granted the 2024-2025 are more talented , but their heart and grit is definitely lacking . Bridges is focused on not getting hurt in order to keep his streak of consecutive games alive.
Divo is out of position, Randle is 90's ball player. Dante will come back, but Julius will find his way back to New Orleans.
Yeah Randle is a isolation player
New Orleans? I think it’s gonna be the Clippers personally
I think Randle is going to end up in Houston. If he ends up there, they're a title contender. Sengun is the real deal.
How can you call it a fleece if Donte shot 40% and played better defense than bridges
Because bridges wasnt part of that part KAT trade. You cant compare Bridges and Donte when that wasnt even part of the KAT trade.
@ Just comparing as a whole but the point was that Donte was valuable
@@MrKyle592 Doesnt change Bridges isnt part of the KAT trade. If Bridges is struggling offensively and defensively it doesnt affect the KAT trade cause he isnt part of the KAT trade.Also, wow Donte is better than Bridges this year on defense who cares his scoring dipped and thats why Minnesota wanted him so they still lost that trade...Also, Randle dipped in scoring and rebounds.. If he played like that for the Knicks our Record would be way worser.... Kat grabs more rebounds than both Randle and Donte combined..... How is Donte valuable when his stats are sub par.....
@ Like I said. I was just pointing out his value with us. So you’re going to pretend that coaching has nothing to do with anything. They’re on a whole different team with a whole different coaching scheme along with other factors. That doesn’t take away what Donte has with us( shooting, defense, clutch)
@@MrKyle592 And what value they both suck now.Why the heck should i care about the coaching of wolves. Im a Knicks fan. If you're a Knicks fan you move on from players. Stop getting attached to them. I could care less what he did in the past all i care is what they are doing now.
Is there a way ( 3- way) to trade for Divo, would love to get him back to reunite the nova knicks! Only other place he will play well is Golden State.
I would only be willing to trade Jericho Sims, Landry Shamet, & 2 draft picks to get Devo back next season. (Take it or Leave it)
You have to move Mitch
@@knicksdigesti love Dante too, if its between Mitch and Divo , im taking Mitch
Your opinion is strictly points based. Yes at first glance watching KAT put up 30 a night while donte and randle struggle to find there way in Minnesota seems like a good trade .but from a fundamental team chemistry view, we are worse. the Knicks are nothing more then a struggling 500% team. defensively they have taken a huge step back. We rank bottom of the league in most defensive categories and I'm not sure this will change any time soon without making additional moves to get additional help at KATs position defensively. .
THE KNICKS CAINT EVEN GIVE US 2 GOOD GAMES IN A ROW THG THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT NOT THAT DAMN TRADE WHICH MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING RIGHT NOW DO YOU REALLY THINK TIBBS IS THE ANSWER 💀
Well… it’s Thanksgiving. This video was recorded before the Mavs game
@@knicksdigestlol hes right tho, we are ass rn..
@knicksdigest they got smacked by thr Jazz before that. I think knicks fans are looking to the trade to distract themselves on what's going on in nyc. The team is not playing like contender.
@@cambury for real, this is getting ridiculous, Knicks fans saying they won the trade not even 20 games into the season when they are just 2 wins better than the Wolves and still haven't even beat a healthy team over .500😂
“I know you’ve thought wrong things” lmfao
We both lost this trade
Knicks won clearly
I would only be willing to trade Jericho Sims, Landry Shamet, & 2 draft picks to get Devo back next season. (Take it or Leave it)
So you saying Knicks get dovo from Minnesota Timberwolves back for Jericho Sims? If timberwolves get Jericho Sims then that's kinda good
@
and Landry Shamet & 1-2 draft picks..
trade doesn't work, money is uneven
Everything you said is really on the coach
Randle is a all NBA player and Donte is a stud so I blame the coach for not creating a system that fits his pieces. Randle was successful playing next to Mitchell Robinson
I come from the future and friday nov 29th there will be a video titled " knicks are unstoppable" due to a won game. Then when knicks lose to a good team there will be another video titled "there’s something wrong with this team"
Exactly happen time after time ..I'm curious what do you feel the Knicks need to be consistent
@ they need identity. Either they play the way they played vs nuggets or decide if they play the way they played vs mavs, hawks, rockets..
I wasn’t sure either to be honest I can go back now and say I was 100% wrong but one for one I’ve been saying it for over a year I would easily trade towns for Randall and I understand that’s easy to say because towns is better than Reno, but since he makes so much more money and Randles and expire in contract You can either extend them or let them go I thought one for one I’ll hundred percent do this treat but I knew when do you want for one and when I heard it was Dante I didn’t like the train now going back I realize it had to be Dante or deuce and I’m happy we did what we did and I was wrong. It’s a great trade. I love it.
Before they trade I was wondering how JR would fit back into a rotation that flourished without him.
So we’re not gonna talk about the blowout loss in Dallas ???? Also, how much better are the Knicks than the Timberwolves record wise ?
Dam y'all are young it's the beginning of the season
A lot of people, myself included, automatically didn't like the trade due to losing Donte. KAT won us over quick
They are missing a rim protector who will be returning (Robinson),
They will be fine
It will impact Bridges’ and Towns’ game in a positive way
i wonder how the staff does it with building relationships with these players and just letting them go for other players because it’s business. i wonder if they feel some type of way about it.
Let's see where we are after 30 games.
Yo… chill! We are not so hot either. You act like we are the cavs. Kat putting up numbers doesn’t mean shit. Julius and Donte would’ve have a wonder season in nyc! We just got kicked to the curbs by the Luka less mavs! We didn’t win shit!
Every time I see a content creator talk on the Timberwolves, we get absolutely punched in the face or deflated by a bad loss. Can we keep it Knicks?
Devo Would really help us on O and on defense as well. Bridges will not resign with us . "He doesn't play Alpha Ball when the chips are high! Devo does..
Donte was only included to make the money work it’s not like the Knicks wanted to trade him
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would rather get a quality 2 way big, rather than getting back Donte, we need more depth at the center.
We don't trade Randle because we want badly Karl Anthony Towns it's about flexibility it means business
Hate to break it to you but, the Knicks gave up a consistent 30 plus points per game plus better defense to get KAT. They'll not likely go as deep in the playoffs this season.
Where is Dariel taking his L on the Kat trade?
He won’t until playoffs lol
Thibs brings out the best in players. There’s a pattern here
Neither player ever played as well elsewhere as they did with Thibs. Maybe this is really whom they are...
Now do Bridges, a deal you thought was great for the Knicks ...
Btw, respect for recognizing a mistake.
The trade was bad for both side before this trade both teams was doing good literally
Would've been more of same with Townes in Minnesota
We are not a championship team . We are not and elite team . We are a poor defensive and rebounding team . For what we gave up for Bridges, we should have had a game changing superstar . We have a poor defensive , timid , non impactful player .
Knicks are a mess
I think it’s an adjustment period for both teams! I like all 3 of them but definitely wanted to see KAT on the Knicks … Randle is a dog on the court but is always a hit or miss in games
Donte Divincinto is an hybrid 2 & 3 spot.
2-4 is interchangeable
I hope the knicks brings back Donte
Happy Turkey Day Bros 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😎😎😎
I would take both of these guys back
It’s about the system bro Donte need to be back on this system and he’ll add to the defense and get some minutes off of the others yes we got the steal but get Donte back he’s tuff on our scheme
Our defense took a huge blow losing Donte
Fr
KATs D is costing us game after game… wake up.. the game is not all about offensive stats
Why you speaking on just the trade and not the fact that these 2 players was invested in being knicks,they knew the knick playbook and had great team chemistry to being traded the next day like they didnt even matter, it's nerve rattling and they probably haven't settled in. They aren't trash, they're both talked plus Randle doesn't like gobert
Randle 21.7 points a game, almost 4 and 7 is struggling.
Yes compared to his 25 PPG 10 rebounds in the knicks. His stats have decreased except in assist. Josh Hart grabs more rebounds than Randle...
@@emersonssbb Dude Randle is not playing under the basket like he did with the Knicks. It it Edwards team. He has to clear the paint for Edwards to drive.
@@mack38412 Randle grabbed more rebounds as a rookie than now. Stop making excuses for him...Also, if you want my opinion Chris Finch overrall sucks he doesnt know a Power Forward job is to rebound even KAT averaged a sub par 8 rebounds...Also, Randle played with iso player in RJ Barrett and grabbed 10 Rebounds during that time so your excuses on him not grabbing 10 is out the window.
U kinda capping about Randle hes been balling out for his in Minnesota,we need to focus on towns poor defending when we go down 15 points then worry sbout the Minnesota Timberwolves problems
Fans are funny. They love you when you're up and hate you when you're down. Smh
KAT’s defense is a problem ngl
I think our collective giddiness about how well KAT has played is as silly as everyone being obsessed with Randle being a 2 time All NBA player. Individual accolades don't win games. KAT is terrific (he always has been) but the team is meh despite his great play and OG being healthy. No time to be victory lapping imo.
Dude blaming a whole team failure on 1 guy that is the Knicks lead scorer this season is insanity. I just wouldn’t have him at the center position. When they return, Put Mitch Rob or Achuwa at the center position, take Bridges out for Katt, and things would change.
Jb should make knicks get donte back
What a title?
If thibs doesn't use the bench he is going to ruin this team.
Literally. Vid coming out about that soon
Minny needs a proper PG.. they don't have one, if they did, JR and Divo will work better
Agreed 100000%
I still hate the trade
Right now the Knicks look like a 6 seed in the East
He doesn't want to be there
Bring back donte
Bring Devo back
Bring D D back
Nah nah man, u didn't want or liked this trade, but you admitted it so I digress until it happens again lol😅😊😮
At least you can admit how absurdly wrong you were
A couple of bums... Ball hogs that don't play a lick of defense...good for Kat he escaped a very bad team with a list of prima donnas. Even Edwards is still a juvenile. TimberWolves need to play their rookies and 2nd and 3rd year players and trade the players who are 😴 L A Z Y 😴 and who are uncoachable. You always can count on these bums to fold in the last few minutes of of play
Wym kat escaped a very bad team you do not know what you're talking about last season timberwolves was the 2nd or 3rd best in the standing they smacked the defending champions out the playoffs and clapped phoenix suns out the playoffs
I don't think you know what you are talking about
"Who the hell want go from N.y. to Minnesota😂? Devo and Randall hate it there! Its ..ice cold and snowey and boring! and mundane rasist . In life after you made some doe$. You just want be happy. I wouldn't be surprised if..Devo and Randall have there worst years. Id like Devo back and Randal back eventually..
Donte. D. No point guard.
Stop acting like the Knicks are overachieving they stink right now given the level of talent they have.
So true. Knicks could be best offensive team in the league but when they don't hit there shot. Knicks defense can't carry them with a w.
I’ve been adamant they’re gonna be .500 for 20-25 games into the season. They’ll find rhythm
Now imagine this team without KAT. The Knicks have been playing short-handed since the start of the season. No mitchell robinson no precious And no Landry Shamot. Minnesota has been healthy the whole year.
And they're still two games under five hundred. Randle is killing the wolves with his prison ball style and dgaf defense.
@ lol towns can’t play a lick of defense he’s been very good on one end but the team is noticeably better on defense without him
Such a elementary take…do better
The knicks are also struggling in other ways.
Knicks are 10-8 doing just as bad. I guess ya trash too
U mad
@2408spydah ya playing like str8 bums rn. Look at that score 🤣
@@shaolin6150 knicks winning it seems
@@2408spydah ya should be blowing this team out. No bridges, melo, mann or grant williams
