@@Audi100 Like you said it's too early to tell. But they are building chemistry while being 4th in the east. Not bad even if their record isn't great...
Knicks fan here. I said it the day after the trade. Randle is a problem; he's a clear example of why sometimes stats don't tell the full story. This is what you get with Randle. I've been a Knicks fan since the early 70's I have never wanted to see a player traded as bad as I wanted Randle traded. He's a strange type of player he will fool with good numbers on one end (20pts, 10rpg) and on the other end he'll kill your momentum and chemistry. He's moody (sometimes toxic) he's a turnover machine and he gets worse in the playoffs. 2 Years ago, I would have traded him for a bag of balls and a candy bar. I give Leon Rose credit; he was patient and waited for the right time to move him. Also, I would gladly take Donte back if you don't want him.
@ nice assumption bud but na never liked his big soft ass. Cryin like a baby Everytime he gets fouled and doesn’t sprint back on defense. How’s he doin tonight? Looks like mavs are taking it to him and the Knicks
Long time Knicks fan here. There was a lot to like about Randle, yet he was kind of a headcase, consistently held onto the ball too long, was so so defensively, and turned the ball over a lot. Opposing teams knew this and would double him when he held to long forcing turnovers. He could never see the doubles coming too. Was bizarre. Still liked him here, but he needed to go, plus, we got KAT!
I like the idea behind this video But Jalen Brunson is NOT a pass first guy. And he is TOTALLY an iso player . He is like THE iso player. So it’s hard to argue Randle was rhe only iso player in the starting 5.
He’s not an ISO player… Jalen Brunson is an all around PG if you need him to pass he will pass but if you need him to score and take you home he will do that as well
Yup They Sure Did. I said when they did it This was the Dumbest Trade I’ve seen in a long time. It’s no way they gonna beat the Nuggets Or Dallas In the West now
@@KeepItReal213 they could afford KAT contract if they really wanted him by parting with others played So according to that logic there gonna have to rebuild when they almost made the finals and it’s no guarantee they will find another KAT and Naz Reid Is not as good as KAT
He wouldn't thrive in Minnesota environment where he's mostly used as a spot up shooter when Ant is on the floor. And add the fact that he's upset he got traded, he's not in his best condition mentally.
And he mad he coming off the bench, after starting last year, Minneapolis sure ain't The Big Apple either,yeah all that messed up my man's mentals pretty bad
@@HeatSeekerHoops wait till playoff time, I'll change your opinion reeeeeal fast...just feels bad I can't be there to see your facial expression and be like "I TOLD YA"🤣
THIS IS WHY THE NBA IS LOSING ITS LUSTER.... THERE IS NO COMMITTMENT, NO LOYALTY AND ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY. THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NBA ALLOW PLAYERS TO DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE AND HERE ARE THE OWNERS OF THE TEAMS PLEASING THEM AND THE HECK OUT OF THOSE COACHES THAT LOSE A COUPLE OF GAMES.... UNREAL...
KAT was not a defensive force, if anything he was a net negative on defense who was able to be hidden on that end of the floor because of Gobert and Ant and now OG, Hart and Bridges in New York. Offensive superstar though, at least in the regular season
@@CogitoErgoSum2024 You think therefore you are but you forget about the past. Gobert has been in top 10 defenses for years. Randle exposes him with his laziness imo
Sorry, but I disagree. Minnesota just doesn't know how to use him. Notice that KAT wasn't "going off" in Minnesota. Anthony Edwards was basically carrying the team alone which is why they were winning. And on the Knicks, Randle was averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds & 5 assists and the Knicks were blowing out teams in January. Remember? As for defense? Steph Curry doesn't play much defense and the Warriors have always won. Jokic doesn't play much defense and Denver always wins. Most players aren't good on both sides of the ball. It's up to the coach to teach it or to cover their issues. On Minnesota, the coach should be benching Rudy Gobert and starting Naji. Rudy barely scores. He should be benching Jaden McDaniels who barely scores. Where are the 3 point shooters or scorers who should be drawing the defense away from Randle & Anthony Edwards so that it's easier for them to score? Also notice that he can't use Donte DiVincenzo for some reason. Donte can pass, shoot 3s, defend & get out in transition. Yet he looks like he can't get out of his own way on that team. As for the front office, they need to bring in a younger point guard who can pass well. Notice that the Phoenix Suns did that and got better. Also the Knicks aren't beating teams with a winning record...are they? Like who? They aren't better than last year. They lost to Dallas WITHOUT Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson. They lost to Utah. They beat teams without their stars or Indiana which has no defense except Myles Turner. Also KAT doesn't defend either. He only does it occasionally...just like Randle.
This comment summers it up perfectly. We need an actual point guard, preferably younger than 37. As a Suns and Wolves fan it's like we just flipped our roles completely from last season😂 A decent point guard can really flip your team on 180 degrees as we are seeing right now with the Suns. Iam still kinda mad we traded Slo-Mo and Monte Morris...KAT had to go due to his contract but those two would've been so good for us right now, we REALLY need a point guard and a back-up big
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay...Thanks. Yeah, I agree that some of the team's issues is due to the age of their point guard. Mike Conley was good in his prime. But he may need help now. And yeah...I was really shocked when I saw how much Phoenix improved after they added Tyus Jones. I have no idea why Minnesota didn't go after him when it was clear that he was a very good pass first point guard. He might have been drawn to them since they got further in the playoffs than the Suns did. They could have also gone for Dejounte Murray who was traded from Atlanta to New Orleans. He can pass well, score and defend at a high level. You're right about Slo Mo. But even if the Timberwolves want to keep Conley, they can make him come off the bench or they can get another point guard to share the load off the bench. The coach can speed up the pace as well by getting the team to pass faster. I saw Jason Kidd do that on the Dallas Mavericks the year they won the championship. The ball moved faster giving the illusion of speed despite the fact that some of the players were older and couldn't run as fast as they used to. They could do that with Mike Conley or they could see if they can acquire some other guys like Jalen Suggs, Immanuel Quickley or TJ McConnell.
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay... I've been a Knicks' fan since the 1990's but also became a Timberwolves' fan a little later. First when Kevin Garnett was there and later with Sprewell and Sam Cassell. I thought KAT was going to be great for them, but Jimmy Butler couldn't wake up the guy that's now playing on the Knicks right now. They couldn't wake up the Andrew Wiggins who was great in Golden State either. I think they should start reconsidering who they're getting. They need guys that buy in, can shoot 3s, can defend, can get their own shot & can give assists. Also guys that want to win & are hungry. Just like the 76ers, they should have kept Jimmy Butler and later Derrick Rose. I think those guys would have pushed KAT into being what he is now.
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay...Hmmm...I like KAT but maybe the team needs a different type of big. He also didn't seem to really thrive on the team as much as he should have. I get what you mean though. But what about Naz Reid? Isn't he doing okay. I mistakenly called him "Naji" in an earlier post here...lol. Why doesn't the team give him more minutes to see what he could do? But I agree...they should go out and get a center. I would suggest: Jalen Duren, Clint Capela, Jakob Poeltl, Nic Claxton, Ariel Hukporti (if the Knicks aren't interested in giving him more time) or Precious Achiwua. They could also get Wendell Carter. He can: rebound, defend, shoot some 3s and pass a bit. I think he would be a good fit in Minnesota. Maybe Jericho Sims on the Knicks would work as well. He's athletic and can dunk, defend, block shots and finish well at the rim. Maybe Minnesota's coach can turn him into a prime DeAndre Jordan. There's also DeAndre Ayton who's being wasted in Portland. Maybe Minnesota can help him improve defensively. Stranger things have happened. OG Anunoby looks like a steal for the Knicks.
Steph and Jokic are all time great scorers. Randle isn't, at all. He isn't even a top 15 scorer today. He has no business ball hogging if he's not a Curry or KD level player
randle learned too much from his lakers stint same with clarkson, being selfish like how kobe was, he’s a chemistry killer and self centered that care more of stats than winning, just mamba mentality!
As for Julius Randle not being good? He can: give assists, rebound at a high rate, get out in transition, score well in the mid-range, post up, finish on ally oops and finish on pick n' rolls. Yet somehow he doesn't "fit" on Minnesota and isn't good? Are they using his passing ability? Are they putting in 3 point shooters in the starting lineup? Are they speeding up the pace? Are they getting out in transition? No to all of that. That's the issue. Randle was averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds & 5 assists on the Knicks. That's what KAT is averaging now. Minnesota fans need to think about why that is. And most real Knicks fans loved Julius Randle. It was the fair weather fans or the ones who only like defense that didn't. Yet Jalen Brunson (who I also like) doesn't play defense & turns the ball over and they're fine. They also have no issue with Jokic, Steph Curry or others that don't play defense. Those players look better & their flaw(s) aren't exposed because their coaches are good. All players aren't the same. Each player needs a particular style that includes them, helps to elevate them & helps to cover their flaws. The Timberwolves had KAT and he wasn't doing what he was doing on their team. Why not? Have they considered that it could be the coach, the coach's style, the roster, the coach's lineup, the pace, etc? Knicks fans are having the same issues with their team. But we're calling out the COACH whose style can and sometimes does affect the players.
@@Matthew-xl5bc Randle was the lone warrior in 2021 and heavily injured in 2023, cut the HATE you pathetic hater. KAT is literally worse in the playoffs than Randle and he never has been the lone warrior, nor have played even 1 series heavily injured😂
I agree on blaming coaching and MN org overall yet you should agree that Randle was good in NY bc he was the focal point (up until Brunson showed up), it helps with your numbers obv when you have tons of the ball. But he was nowhere near a title contender with NY. In NY he wanted to have one day his big contract and stay there for years making him the franchise. Also You can't argue with him being a bit of a douche or toxic sometimes as well... He was playing better defense in NY as well, he looks lazy now. You can't play Lebron sort of defense if you're not Lebron :D . imo all players should play they ass off on defense as well. Modern day NBA makes you fly around and switch a lot, you can't be LAZY especialy with MN having been the N°1 defense last year. No offense for sure
@@romainviry3185...Sorry, but I disagree. Julius Randle was still good even after Jalen Brunson showed up. He: increased his assist numbers, improved his 3 point shot, began to be able to get out in transition, began cutting to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run and increased his rebounding ability. He was already good at: posting up, passing, doing spins in the mid-range to get his shot off over defenders, finishing on ally oops & finishing on pick n' rolls. My point? He was an all around player. In fact, he was chosen to be an all star last season but wasn't able to play due to injury. The Knicks were beating teams last January WITH Randle as the 2nd option. Also he had the same numbers that KAT has now. But it's obvious that he's better than KAT because KAT has too many games where he can't score or he can't score if he's defended by a guy his size. Back to Randle. His lower numbers on Minnesota points to bad coaching as well as Minnesota's style of play and the roster constructed by the Timberwolves' front office. Notice that they couldn't get those numbers out of KAT despite the fact that he was there for years. Yet it came out as soon as he moved to New York.
@@romainviry3185...Um...were you watching last season? The Knicks were on the way to being a title contender but that went out the window once Julius Randle got injured. Then they became a one man show around Jalen Brunson. Thibs began burning out the backup players & the few remaining starters. THAT'S why they had no chance against Indiana. And I'm unsure why he shouldn't be a big part of the offense? He's an ALL STAR LEVEL PLAYER. Anthony Edwards is a superstar, but he's shooting far too much. He has to learn to draw in the defense and kick it out to other guys that are open. Julius Randle had to learn that and Jalen Brunson learned that this season. Also the point guard is the one that's supposed to be making sure that everyone gets the ball in a spot that he's comfortable in. The team also needs knock down shooters to spread the floor. Those guys are supposed to draw away the defense making it easier for Anthony Edwards & Julius Randle (the 2 stars) to score. Notice that people were dismissing Jaylen Brown the same way in Boston. However they wouldn't have won if they hadn't included him in the offense (meaning creating plays for him) rather than giving him leftovers. I never claimed Randle could get his own shot all the time. He's not a point guard or a superstar. He's an ALL STAR. That's why he needs a good point guard & some spacing. If that happened, his average would shoot up. In addition, the team needs to speed up the pace. Slowing it down makes it easier for opposing players to defend them. They also need to get out in transition more.
Julius Randle reminds me of Melo. As soon as either one gets the ball the other 4 players knowing that they never pass, fall asleep. Both had no interest in being an elite defender. My condolences to Minnesota fans.
As for me? If I had a choice, I would take back Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. What the Knicks needed was a center like Jalen Duren or Wendell Carter. That was ALL they were missing. And even without that, they were beating most of the other teams except Boston. And no, they're not better. They lost to Utah which doesn't have a star, they haven't beaten any playoff team with all their stars (except Indiana which has no defense except Myles Turner) and they lost to Dallas without Klay Thompson AND Luka Doncic. The Knicks were far better last year and that was with both Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle who the Timberwolves can't wait to get rid of. As I said...have they considered that it's the coach? Notice that KAT could barely score against Denver while he was in Minnesota. Yet he scored a lot against Denver while on the Knicks a few days ago (sure I agree that Aaron Gordon wasn't there but KAT looked like less than an all star playing on that team). The Timberwolves' front office needs to go out and get 3 point shooters, a center who can score a bit but can defend well (the Knicks have some that they're not using) & a younger point guard to help Mike Conley. As for the coach? He needs to get the team to: run in transition, move well without the ball, pass faster out of double teams, pass fast in general, speed up the pace (the team has athletes), do more ally oops, do more pick n' rolls & cut to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run. He also needs to have Donte drive to the rim more & Randle act as a point forward sometimes. Notice that the Lakers are using Anthony Davis that way & the Knicks used Isaiah Hartenstein that way. Turnovers happen if other teams can double or triple team a player. There aren't any superstars on Minnesota so they need to create a better setup. Randle & Anthony Edwards are ALL STARS, not superstars. So the coach has to set things up better to make scoring easier.
Randle is a dog, give him/them time. It was a very frustrating trade for all involved. Randle is playing consistent after a injury and in a new town. Same for DDV, give him trust an he will kill it. You can see the chemistry issues, but not because of character ,but i think because of the frustrating timing of the trade. Maybe the should try the small line up. NAZ, RANDLE, McD, Antman and Donte...
I don’t get why the wolves made this trade, they could have given kat and towns more time to mature together, they had a good season last season even though they didn’t go as far as they hoped, just goes to show the back office don’t know what the hell they are doing
I loved that he came to the Knicks when no one else would and that's great and all but that's not enough for me. I'm glad for his arrival and even happier for his departure
Randle sucks. He is a cancer to any team. The best place for randle is either on the bench and if that doesnt work then out of this league. The league needs to ban him!
Yeah no neither are good at that KAT ain’t good defensively either he’s had consistent bad mental lapses throughout his career playing a true center spot and he can’t guard the wings very well either as a PF
Last year they knock off the defending champions in the playoffs and decide instead of making a small adjustment to make wholesale changes… foolish move by the wolves, either they were desperate or someone was unhappy behind the scenes
The problem I got with a lot of TH-camrs talk really be thinking professional basketball is like video game, it’s not it takes time for players to mesh and develop chemistry. Don’t let any Knick fan who was a hater of Randle fool you. The knicks were absolutely a better team with Randle than they was without him. There is actual evidence of that. Randle carried the Knicks to the playoffs with a bum ahh team an some Knick fans forget that overnight. The Knicks would have gone further in the post season with Randle last season. Point is there is no success overnight when it comes to professional basketball. Give them time and stop dragging players every time things don’t workout right away. Even the Knicks are struggling defensively after this trade.
seriously, it took Gobert over a year to build chemistry, but when Randle hasn't build chemistry in 15 games "TRADE HIS ASS ASAP" Randle haters and wolves fans are some pathetic losers man...
What Randle needs? Is a coach with balls. Who every time Randle takes off on defense coach calls a timeout and chews him out or subs him out after he chews him out. He has poor habits that have gone unchecked. His lack of defensive effort should lead to ALOT of benching.
I was so happy to move on from Julius Randle yes I am happy with he did for us but I know it was not going to get us further than what we did and KAT is adjusting very well with the team he is killing it with the Knicks
I thought the Wolves made this trade for salary cap reasons and were planning to trade Randle from the get go. If not it’s a bad trade. I like DiVincenzo but he’s more of a perimeter shooter. I think the best solution is to move on from Randle and start Naz instead.
If the wolves were smart, they would've made it a three team trade, but they chose to be stupid and make it a two team trade which completely has destroyed this roster
Randle was an All star from the East. Smaller of a bar to cross meaning no offense. I guess where he has hurt MN very much is on the defensive end. by laziness he exposes Rudy who has to lot to do even far from the rim which should NOT be his role too often. And and offense he does not help Rudy either. akward passes when you have nothing else to do, not willing bc (indeed) Rudy can be a mess sometimes. Gobert needs reps with a guy that trusts him and also play a LITTLE bit of defense. Overall, huge low for MN and Rudy getting his big contract the same summer (before or after) KAT was traded to NY gets lot of criticism and Randle seems to not care about team chemistry very much...
I need these Minnesota fans to keep telling how they won the trade lol. How KAT is crazy overrated. How Julia is a better fit. How they stole two dogs from us lol. Dante will be traded by the deadline and Julia will absolutely trash any team chemistry they have left. He's a ball stopper, can't shoot fr and his defense is straight trash. You'll see lol.
KAT is overrated. The Knicks aren't winning with him...are they? Randle is better because the Knicks were winning with him. And yes Minnesota got 2 dogs, they just need to learn how to use them. Also they need to start Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo and put Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels on the bench. They also need to speed up the pace and get out in transition. And how could Randle be a ball stopper if he's averaging 5 assists? What was KAT doing in Minnesota before? If he was this good, why didn't Minnesota beat Denver in the playoffs? Right. KAT didn't show up. As for Randle, he averaged 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. So how is he "trash?" The Knicks were winning with him and barely got past the 76ers with Embiid on one leg without him. This year they can't beat anyone significant. And KAT can block a few shots but that's it. Randle wasn't a top defender but he was doing a little bit better than KAT was.
Everything you said in this video about Randle is true. After seeing him play in NY for 5 years, at least half of the fanbase were ready to see him go. His game (iso) is a tough fit and hurts the flow. Also, he can be a turnover machine during crucial moments. And sometimes he pouts when things aren't going right or when a team scores. I wish him luck, but we got damn lucky with the trade.
Lol no one said that KAT was dominant defensively. I said the Wolves were dominant and just that KAT is a better rim protector. Otherwise if someone else had said KAT was dominant, I’d be with you all the way🤣🤣🤣
As a Wolves fan, it's like the Twilight Zone... (Watching Kat on the Knicks, watching Thibs get retribution) I've watched nearly every game for years, especially since Kat and Wiggins, but I think Tim Connelly has finally ended that run. Breaking up the Kat\Ant duo might have robbed Ant of a title in his lifetime. Seriously f--- Tim Connelly.
KAT and Ant were a bad duo, your recency bias is showing! We have a much higher ceiling with our current team. You like KAT more than the Timberwolves team itself? Go be a Knicks fan and then a fan of the next team he goes to, team hopping like a LeBum James stan
Everybody forgets the coach part in this. We got two guys in Devo and randle who was successful under another coach. They are talented. The whole wolves team is. The problem is up top. From front office to coach.
No they will not make a comeback because Finch love him some Randle! They need to get rid of Randle now he has already ruin the chemistry on numerous teams, he’s a solo player and he wants outshine Edward. That All star label has gone to his head. The wolve were fine the KAT trade was necessary but what they traded for was not what they needed, whoever formulated this move need to be fired. All they needed was another strong shooting forward/center to replace Towns. What a major screw up!
It's cool cause they dont have to sign Randle. They gonna have some bread. Now they just have to wait until Rudys contract is over. No Chip anytime until that goof is out. The Knicks will get one in the next 3 years
He’s definitely not 2018 Simmons or Haliburton, but compared to today’s breed of point guard ie Luka, SGA, Cade etc who shoulder a huge chunk of the offensive load and put up astronomical numbers, I’d put Brunson in the top 15 of passing point guards in the NBA
Julius Randle averaged 5 assists on the Knicks so I'm unsure what you're talking about. He would have averaged even more but some of the players would miss easy, open baskets for some reason. As for Jalen Brunson? He is working on his assists. Notice that the number is increasing. He's not Chris Paul or Steve Nash in their primes but he is getting it to open guys and his assist numbers are rising. And Randle isn't selfish. Most power forwards aren't passing the way that he is. Look at Giannis.
@@RedSteele8000 when things are not going his way he knocks laptops out of coaches hands. he pushes his own teammates and he thumbs down the crowd. the stats are misleading sometimes. i watch the games. he only passes when he has to. man wide open with a smaller guy and he waves him off. last play of the game and throws a low hardball to prove a point.
Stop hating! Wait another year and you will be singing a different tune. Too many people on here hating for no dam reason . Lol I remember, Michael, then Kobe now Jason Tatum, get a life. Notice the slight difference in complexion???????
Nah … he didn’t fit better with us (Knicks). Thats why he’s gone! And who told you Brunson is a pass 1st PG bro. He is was like top 3 in usage last season. Averaged 30+ in the offs.
A fireable offense for whoever made this trade in the front office...said when it happened "man the Wolves are idiots" cuz Randle has never been a real all star to me...trade a 7 foot 3 point play making defensive threat...for Randle?...yeah somebody getting fired or Ant leaving the first chance he get
I’m a Wolves fan & moving KAT was a good move for the Wolves and one that was a few seasons late imo but I also don’t care for Randle at least not thus far.. it’s a black hole on offense passing him the ball most nights
This video is great! But I do disagree with 2 points: 1) KAT isn't a Defensive Juggernaut. Offensively, much more so, but not on Defense. 2) Julius Randle definitely isn't a hyperathlletic player. Personally, he's far LESS athletic than many other people at his position. He doesn't have the verticality, explosiveness, and agility to give him offensive advantages that athletes like Aaron Gordon displayed in their careers.
The Knicks definitely won this trade

But Jalen Brunson is NOT a pass first guy. And he is TOTALLY an iso player . He is like THE iso player. So it’s hard to argue Randle was rhe only iso player in the starting 5.
He isos when he has to. He’s averaging 8 assists and had a 17 assist game. He also has no problem giving up the ball for a different iso possession
He’s an all around PG bruh, you only think he’s an iso player cause he HAD to be that.
He’s not an ISO player… Jalen Brunson is an all around PG if you need him to pass he will pass but if you need him to score and take you home he will do that as well

KAT was not a defensive force, if anything he was a net negative on defense who was able to be hidden on that end of the floor because of Gobert and Ant and now OG, Hart and Bridges in New York. Offensive superstar though, at least in the regular season
If I remember correctly Rudy Gobert took an entire season to develop chemistry with the wolves before it worked out. Why does Randle only get 18 games
Gobert still has no chemistry
@@CogitoErgoSum2024 You think therefore you are but you forget about the past. Gobert has been in top 10 defenses for years. Randle exposes him with his laziness imo
Why is people acting shocked. Randle needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Where Minnesota Ant needs the ball too
The T-Wolves messed up by trading KAT
@unsolved5261 no they didn't Kat didn't fit either.
@unsolved5261 people problem is realizing who is the correct player to team up with Ant?
Sorry, but I disagree. Minnesota just doesn't know how to use him. Notice that KAT wasn't "going off" in Minnesota. Anthony Edwards was basically carrying the team alone which is why they were winning. And on the Knicks, Randle was averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds & 5 assists and the Knicks were blowing out teams in January. Remember?
As for defense? Steph Curry doesn't play much defense and the Warriors have always won. Jokic doesn't play much defense and Denver always wins. Most players aren't good on both sides of the ball. It's up to the coach to teach it or to cover their issues.
On Minnesota, the coach should be benching Rudy Gobert and starting Naji. Rudy barely scores. He should be benching Jaden McDaniels who barely scores. Where are the 3 point shooters or scorers who should be drawing the defense away from Randle & Anthony Edwards so that it's easier for them to score?
Also notice that he can't use Donte DiVincenzo for some reason. Donte can pass, shoot 3s, defend & get out in transition. Yet he looks like he can't get out of his own way on that team. As for the front office, they need to bring in a younger point guard who can pass well. Notice that the Phoenix Suns did that and got better. Also the Knicks aren't beating teams with a winning record...are they? Like who? They aren't better than last year. They lost to Dallas WITHOUT Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson. They lost to Utah. They beat teams without their stars or Indiana which has no defense except Myles Turner. Also KAT doesn't defend either. He only does it occasionally...just like Randle.
This comment summers it up perfectly. We need an actual point guard, preferably younger than 37. As a Suns and Wolves fan it's like we just flipped our roles completely from last season😂 A decent point guard can really flip your team on 180 degrees as we are seeing right now with the Suns. Iam still kinda mad we traded Slo-Mo and Monte Morris...KAT had to go due to his contract but those two would've been so good for us right now, we REALLY need a point guard and a back-up big
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay...Thanks. Yeah, I agree that some of the team's issues is due to the age of their point guard. Mike Conley was good in his prime. But he may need help now.
And yeah...I was really shocked when I saw how much Phoenix improved after they added Tyus Jones. I have no idea why Minnesota didn't go after him when it was clear that he was a very good pass first point guard. He might have been drawn to them since they got further in the playoffs than the Suns did.
They could have also gone for Dejounte Murray who was traded from Atlanta to New Orleans. He can pass well, score and defend at a high level. You're right about Slo Mo. But even if the Timberwolves want to keep Conley, they can make him come off the bench or they can get another point guard to share the load off the bench. The coach can speed up the pace as well by getting the team to pass faster.
I saw Jason Kidd do that on the Dallas Mavericks the year they won the championship. The ball moved faster giving the illusion of speed despite the fact that some of the players were older and couldn't run as fast as they used to. They could do that with Mike Conley or they could see if they can acquire some other guys like Jalen Suggs, Immanuel Quickley or TJ McConnell.
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay... I've been a Knicks' fan since the 1990's but also became a Timberwolves' fan a little later. First when Kevin Garnett was there and later with Sprewell and Sam Cassell. I thought KAT was going to be great for them, but Jimmy Butler couldn't wake up the guy that's now playing on the Knicks right now. They couldn't wake up the Andrew Wiggins who was great in Golden State either.
I think they should start reconsidering who they're getting. They need guys that buy in, can shoot 3s, can defend, can get their own shot & can give assists. Also guys that want to win & are hungry. Just like the 76ers, they should have kept Jimmy Butler and later Derrick Rose. I think those guys would have pushed KAT into being what he is now.
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay...Hmmm...I like KAT but maybe the team needs a different type of big. He also didn't seem to really thrive on the team as much as he should have. I get what you mean though.
But what about Naz Reid? Isn't he doing okay. I mistakenly called him "Naji" in an earlier post here...lol. Why doesn't the team give him more minutes to see what he could do?
But I agree...they should go out and get a center. I would suggest: Jalen Duren, Clint Capela, Jakob Poeltl, Nic Claxton, Ariel Hukporti (if the Knicks aren't interested in giving him more time) or Precious Achiwua. They could also get Wendell Carter. He can: rebound, defend, shoot some 3s and pass a bit. I think he would be a good fit in Minnesota. Maybe Jericho Sims on the Knicks would work as well. He's athletic and can dunk, defend, block shots and finish well at the rim. Maybe Minnesota's coach can turn him into a prime DeAndre Jordan. There's also DeAndre Ayton who's being wasted in Portland. Maybe Minnesota can help him improve defensively. Stranger things have happened. OG Anunoby looks like a steal for the Knicks.
Steph and Jokic are all time great scorers. Randle isn't, at all. He isn't even a top 15 scorer today. He has no business ball hogging if he's not a Curry or KD level player
As a die hard Knicks fan I could not stand him. Was so happy we traded him away and could not believe Randle DiVincenzo and a first was all it took
The only team that can use Randle is the pels
randle learned too much from his lakers stint same with clarkson, being selfish like how kobe was, he’s a chemistry killer and self centered that care more of stats than winning, just mamba mentality!
As for Julius Randle not being good? He can: give assists, rebound at a high rate, get out in transition, score well in the mid-range, post up, finish on ally oops and finish on pick n' rolls. Yet somehow he doesn't "fit" on Minnesota and isn't good? Are they using his passing ability? Are they putting in 3 point shooters in the starting lineup? Are they speeding up the pace? Are they getting out in transition? No to all of that. That's the issue. Randle was averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds & 5 assists on the Knicks. That's what KAT is averaging now. Minnesota fans need to think about why that is.
And most real Knicks fans loved Julius Randle. It was the fair weather fans or the ones who only like defense that didn't. Yet Jalen Brunson (who I also like) doesn't play defense & turns the ball over and they're fine. They also have no issue with Jokic, Steph Curry or others that don't play defense. Those players look better & their flaw(s) aren't exposed because their coaches are good. All players aren't the same. Each player needs a particular style that includes them, helps to elevate them & helps to cover their flaws. The Timberwolves had KAT and he wasn't doing what he was doing on their team. Why not? Have they considered that it could be the coach, the coach's style, the roster, the coach's lineup, the pace, etc? Knicks fans are having the same issues with their team. But we're calling out the COACH whose style can and sometimes does affect the players.
Jalen Brunson shows up in the playoffs. Don’t put him in the same sentence as Randle.
@@Matthew-xl5bc Randle was the lone warrior in 2021 and heavily injured in 2023, cut the HATE you pathetic hater. KAT is literally worse in the playoffs than Randle and he never has been the lone warrior, nor have played even 1 series heavily injured😂
I agree on blaming coaching and MN org overall yet you should agree that Randle was good in NY bc he was the focal point (up until Brunson showed up), it helps with your numbers obv when you have tons of the ball. But he was nowhere near a title contender with NY. In NY he wanted to have one day his big contract and stay there for years making him the franchise. Also You can't argue with him being a bit of a douche or toxic sometimes as well... He was playing better defense in NY as well, he looks lazy now. You can't play Lebron sort of defense if you're not Lebron :D . imo all players should play they ass off on defense as well. Modern day NBA makes you fly around and switch a lot, you can't be LAZY especialy with MN having been the N°1 defense last year. No offense for sure
@@romainviry3185...Sorry, but I disagree. Julius Randle was still good even after Jalen Brunson showed up. He: increased his assist numbers, improved his 3 point shot, began to be able to get out in transition, began cutting to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run and increased his rebounding ability.
He was already good at: posting up, passing, doing spins in the mid-range to get his shot off over defenders, finishing on ally oops & finishing on pick n' rolls.
My point? He was an all around player. In fact, he was chosen to be an all star last season but wasn't able to play due to injury. The Knicks were beating teams last January WITH Randle as the 2nd option. Also he had the same numbers that KAT has now. But it's obvious that he's better than KAT because KAT has too many games where he can't score or he can't score if he's defended by a guy his size.
Back to Randle. His lower numbers on Minnesota points to bad coaching as well as Minnesota's style of play and the roster constructed by the Timberwolves' front office. Notice that they couldn't get those numbers out of KAT despite the fact that he was there for years. Yet it came out as soon as he moved to New York.
@@romainviry3185...Um...were you watching last season? The Knicks were on the way to being a title contender but that went out the window once Julius Randle got injured. Then they became a one man show around Jalen Brunson. Thibs began burning out the backup players & the few remaining starters. THAT'S why they had no chance against Indiana.
And I'm unsure why he shouldn't be a big part of the offense? He's an ALL STAR LEVEL PLAYER. Anthony Edwards is a superstar, but he's shooting far too much. He has to learn to draw in the defense and kick it out to other guys that are open. Julius Randle had to learn that and Jalen Brunson learned that this season. Also the point guard is the one that's supposed to be making sure that everyone gets the ball in a spot that he's comfortable in.
The team also needs knock down shooters to spread the floor. Those guys are supposed to draw away the defense making it easier for Anthony Edwards & Julius Randle (the 2 stars) to score. Notice that people were dismissing Jaylen Brown the same way in Boston. However they wouldn't have won if they hadn't included him in the offense (meaning creating plays for him) rather than giving him leftovers.
I never claimed Randle could get his own shot all the time. He's not a point guard or a superstar. He's an ALL STAR. That's why he needs a good point guard & some spacing. If that happened, his average would shoot up. In addition, the team needs to speed up the pace. Slowing it down makes it easier for opposing players to defend them. They also need to get out in transition more.
Julius Randle reminds me of Melo. As soon as either one gets the ball the other 4 players knowing that they never pass, fall asleep. Both had no interest in being an elite defender. My condolences to Minnesota fans.
Very refreshing to stumble across a page that doesn’t troll lebron fans and detractors.
4:58 Brunson is a pass first point guard? smh
Minnesota should of gotten rid of jaden mcdaniels
As for me? If I had a choice, I would take back Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. What the Knicks needed was a center like Jalen Duren or Wendell Carter. That was ALL they were missing. And even without that, they were beating most of the other teams except Boston. And no, they're not better. They lost to Utah which doesn't have a star, they haven't beaten any playoff team with all their stars (except Indiana which has no defense except Myles Turner) and they lost to Dallas without Klay Thompson AND Luka Doncic. The Knicks were far better last year and that was with both Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle who the Timberwolves can't wait to get rid of.
As I said...have they considered that it's the coach? Notice that KAT could barely score against Denver while he was in Minnesota. Yet he scored a lot against Denver while on the Knicks a few days ago (sure I agree that Aaron Gordon wasn't there but KAT looked like less than an all star playing on that team).
The Timberwolves' front office needs to go out and get 3 point shooters, a center who can score a bit but can defend well (the Knicks have some that they're not using) & a younger point guard to help Mike Conley.
As for the coach? He needs to get the team to: run in transition, move well without the ball, pass faster out of double teams, pass fast in general, speed up the pace (the team has athletes), do more ally oops, do more pick n' rolls & cut to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run. He also needs to have Donte drive to the rim more & Randle act as a point forward sometimes. Notice that the Lakers are using Anthony Davis that way & the Knicks used Isaiah Hartenstein that way. Turnovers happen if other teams can double or triple team a player. There aren't any superstars on Minnesota so they need to create a better setup. Randle & Anthony Edwards are ALL STARS, not superstars. So the coach has to set things up better to make scoring easier.
Knicks win big! Having a center that can stretch the floor is a necessity in todays NBA.
Randle is a dog, give him/them time. It was a very frustrating trade for all involved. Randle is playing consistent after a injury and in a new town. Same for DDV, give him trust an he will kill it. You can see the chemistry issues, but not because of character ,but i think because of the frustrating timing of the trade. Maybe the should try the small line up. NAZ, RANDLE, McD, Antman and Donte...
Naz definitely deserves a starting spot
Great analysis!! Wolves had definitely screwed this trade up!
I don’t get why the wolves made this trade, they could have given kat and towns more time to mature together, they had a good season last season even though they didn’t go as far as they hoped, just goes to show the back office don’t know what the hell they are doing
I think it’s still too early in the season to say who won the trade.
he is cancer for any team, he acts tough but lazy on defense
Talking about Karl being a great defender in Minnesota is revisionist history. They never would've brought in Gobert if KAT was a great defender.
I loved that he came to the Knicks when no one else would and that's great and all but that's not enough for me. I'm glad for his arrival and even happier for his departure
It was proven icing on cake tonight when Knicks destroyed Wolves 😂
Randle is a great fit!
How?😂
Randle sucks. He is a cancer to any team. The best place for randle is either on the bench and if that doesnt work then out of this league. The league needs to ban him!
Minnesota need to get rid of Randal asap
Randle is actually listed 6'8 and he's no where near the defensive player Kat is
Yeah no neither are good at that KAT ain’t good defensively either he’s had consistent bad mental lapses throughout his career playing a true center spot and he can’t guard the wings very well either as a PF
Guess who's a good fit
KAT ...
Oh where my kitty cat
Last year they knock off the defending champions in the playoffs and decide instead of making a small adjustment to make wholesale changes… foolish move by the wolves, either they were desperate or someone was unhappy behind the scenes
He was a bad player on the Knicks too. Not a winning player
My Knicks are not doing that much better than the wolves.. they are a worse team defensively this year.
The problem I got with a lot of TH-camrs talk really be thinking professional basketball is like video game, it’s not it takes time for players to mesh and develop chemistry.
Don’t let any Knick fan who was a hater of Randle fool you. The knicks were absolutely a better team with Randle than they was without him. There is actual evidence of that. Randle carried the Knicks to the playoffs with a bum ahh team an some Knick fans forget that overnight. The Knicks would have gone further in the post season with Randle last season.
Point is there is no success overnight when it comes to professional basketball. Give them time and stop dragging players every time things don’t workout right away. Even the Knicks are struggling defensively after this trade.
seriously, it took Gobert over a year to build chemistry, but when Randle hasn't build chemistry in 15 games "TRADE HIS ASS ASAP" Randle haters and wolves fans are some pathetic losers man...
He's a perfect fit. There are one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen. Especially when KAT was there.
What Randle needs? Is a coach with balls. Who every time Randle takes off on defense coach calls a timeout and chews him out or subs him out after he chews him out. He has poor habits that have gone unchecked. His lack of defensive effort should lead to ALOT of benching.
We all knew this was a bad trade except Experts and wolves front office
It was all about financial flexibility.
1:21 KAT defensive juggernaut?
1:57 Randle is apparently hyper athletic 😂
I was so happy to move on from Julius Randle yes I am happy with he did for us but I know it was not going to get us further than what we did and KAT is adjusting very well with the team he is killing it with the Knicks
KAT ain't getting yall further than the Conference Finals either...and thats THE BEST CASE SCENARIO🙃
They fumbled KAT
Seriously, who in the Wolves thought of this trade?
I think they will trade Randle before the deadline
I thought the Wolves made this trade for salary cap reasons and were planning to trade Randle from the get go. If not it’s a bad trade. I like DiVincenzo but he’s more of a perimeter shooter. I think the best solution is to move on from Randle and start Naz instead.
If the wolves were smart, they would've made it a three team trade, but they chose to be stupid and make it a two team trade which completely has destroyed this roster
Agree with this move, but make Randle’s trade value go high first.
Randle was an All star from the East. Smaller of a bar to cross meaning no offense. I guess where he has hurt MN very much is on the defensive end. by laziness he exposes Rudy who has to lot to do even far from the rim which should NOT be his role too often. And and offense he does not help Rudy either. akward passes when you have nothing else to do, not willing bc (indeed) Rudy can be a mess sometimes. Gobert needs reps with a guy that trusts him and also play a LITTLE bit of defense. Overall, huge low for MN and Rudy getting his big contract the same summer (before or after) KAT was traded to NY gets lot of criticism and Randle seems to not care about team chemistry very much...
I need these Minnesota fans to keep telling how they won the trade lol. How KAT is crazy overrated. How Julia is a better fit. How they stole two dogs from us lol. Dante will be traded by the deadline and Julia will absolutely trash any team chemistry they have left. He's a ball stopper, can't shoot fr and his defense is straight trash. You'll see lol.
KAT s defense is just as bad . Just wait till playoff s. It’s still early
KAT is overrated. The Knicks aren't winning with him...are they? Randle is better because the Knicks were winning with him. And yes Minnesota got 2 dogs, they just need to learn how to use them. Also they need to start Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo and put Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels on the bench. They also need to speed up the pace and get out in transition.
And how could Randle be a ball stopper if he's averaging 5 assists? What was KAT doing in Minnesota before? If he was this good, why didn't Minnesota beat Denver in the playoffs? Right. KAT didn't show up. As for Randle, he averaged 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. So how is he "trash?" The Knicks were winning with him and barely got past the 76ers with Embiid on one leg without him. This year they can't beat anyone significant. And KAT can block a few shots but that's it. Randle wasn't a top defender but he was doing a little bit better than KAT was.
@@RedSteele8000 I'll buy the using them wrong part. But only with Dante. My guy... _JULIA IS TRASH._ Now let me read the rest of ur comment.
@corymountain3957 ok. Let's meet right back here periodically Cory. Let's see how that opinion ages.
@ ok than. I’ll be back when wolves beat the Knicks
Anywhere he goes his a bad fit
Randle is a bad player !
They also hated LeBron James, let's not forget Allen Iverson OMG AI
Everything you said in this video about Randle is true. After seeing him play in NY for 5 years, at least half of the fanbase were ready to see him go. His game (iso) is a tough fit and hurts the flow. Also, he can be a turnover machine during crucial moments. And sometimes he pouts when things aren't going right or when a team scores. I wish him luck, but we got damn lucky with the trade.
Randle is a ball-stopper. Once he grabs the ball, the possession is over
The new CBA is what ruined this team
As soon as this video said KAT was dominant defensively I shut it off
Lol no one said that KAT was dominant defensively. I said the Wolves were dominant and just that KAT is a better rim protector. Otherwise if someone else had said KAT was dominant, I’d be with you all the way🤣🤣🤣
Vs Jokic Kat was good
As a Wolves fan, it's like the Twilight Zone... (Watching Kat on the Knicks, watching Thibs get retribution)
I've watched nearly every game for years, especially since Kat and Wiggins, but I think Tim Connelly has finally ended that run. Breaking up the Kat\Ant duo might have robbed Ant of a title in his lifetime. Seriously f--- Tim Connelly.
KAT and Ant were a bad duo, your recency bias is showing! We have a much higher ceiling with our current team. You like KAT more than the Timberwolves team itself? Go be a Knicks fan and then a fan of the next team he goes to, team hopping like a LeBum James stan
Everybody forgets the coach part in this. We got two guys in Devo and randle who was successful under another coach. They are talented. The whole wolves team is. The problem is up top. From front office to coach.
Randle sucks and his stats are bloated
No they will not make a comeback because Finch love him some Randle! They need to get rid of Randle now he has already ruin the chemistry on numerous teams, he’s a solo player and he wants outshine Edward. That All star label has gone to his head. The wolve were fine the KAT trade was necessary but what they traded for was not what they needed, whoever formulated this move need to be fired. All they needed was another strong shooting forward/center to replace Towns. What a major screw up!
It's cool cause they dont have to sign Randle. They gonna have some bread. Now they just have to wait until Rudys contract is over. No Chip anytime until that goof is out. The Knicks will get one in the next 3 years
The Wolves aren’t getting a chip any time soon😔
I said last year the Knicks should trade Randle
Id be curious how long Randle holds the ball compared to other iso players. he's so slow and deliberate
Minnesota always gives away their best players
so did i with a,quickness
we have to get rid off Randle before it's to late for the season, he is not good enough and not a team work player, can't play defense
Worst trade of the off-season.
brunson is not a pass 1st guy😂. randle is a selfish player. this is not news. he's been this way since i've seen him in hs.
Seriously. This Dude lost all credibility with that quote. He's smoking that dispensary weed if He thinks Brunson is a pass 1st player
17 assist
He’s definitely not 2018 Simmons or Haliburton, but compared to today’s breed of point guard ie Luka, SGA, Cade etc who shoulder a huge chunk of the offensive load and put up astronomical numbers, I’d put Brunson in the top 15 of passing point guards in the NBA
Julius Randle averaged 5 assists on the Knicks so I'm unsure what you're talking about. He would have averaged even more but some of the players would miss easy, open baskets for some reason. As for Jalen Brunson? He is working on his assists. Notice that the number is increasing. He's not Chris Paul or Steve Nash in their primes but he is getting it to open guys and his assist numbers are rising.
And Randle isn't selfish. Most power forwards aren't passing the way that he is. Look at Giannis.
@@RedSteele8000 when things are not going his way he knocks laptops out of coaches hands. he pushes his own teammates and he thumbs down the crowd. the stats are misleading sometimes. i watch the games. he only passes when he has to. man wide open with a smaller guy and he waves him off. last play of the game and throws a low hardball to prove a point.
Brunson not pass first tho
Stop hating! Wait another year and you will be singing a different tune. Too many people on here hating for no dam reason . Lol I remember, Michael, then Kobe now Jason Tatum, get a life. Notice the slight difference in complexion???????
Randle is a one year salary dump guy. He’s gone after this year 👀
If you can’t trade him for a decent pick.
Nah … he didn’t fit better with us (Knicks). Thats why he’s gone! And who told you Brunson is a pass 1st PG bro. He is was like top 3 in usage last season. Averaged 30+ in the offs.
A 1 HARM PLAYER
SHOULD BE CANCELLED
JULIUS RANDLE
OR THAT KID NAME HANSEL
A fireable offense for whoever made this trade in the front office...said when it happened "man the Wolves are idiots" cuz Randle has never been a real all star to me...trade a 7 foot 3 point play making defensive threat...for Randle?...yeah somebody getting fired or Ant leaving the first chance he get
reason why not subscribed
Wolves are nuts to trade KAT 😂😂😂. Knicks won this big time.
Might have spoke too soon
We all knew this
He was always a net negative player. Why would anyone give a star like kat for him in any scenario?
Bad fit wherever he goes not a team player
I don't get this Trade either....Randle isn't really a good PF
I'm a Knicks fan, moving Randle is addition by subtraction. His 'defense' is an absolute joke. I hated losing Donte tho.
I’m a Wolves fan & moving KAT was a good move for the Wolves and one that was a few seasons late imo but I also don’t care for Randle at least not thus far.. it’s a black hole on offense passing him the ball most nights
i miss kat sooooo much
You’re not alone😭😭
Calling randle hyper athletic is insane
Lmao 😂
I mean for his size he is..
trade randle for lauri
Yeah that was a stupid trade
Randle is more fit as a 6th man now. Talented but poor iq. Volume scorer with bad decision making.
Lebron effort on Defense, selfish play on offense….shytty attitude
KYRIE IRVING 😂😂
Minnesota was a fluke last year
Minnesota mess up there team they shouldn’t never trade KAT it should have been Rudy Gobert
I would give Rudy up for a bag of Tostitos and some cheese dip.
Should've traded neither and ran it back one more year.
SUCKERS NY ROBBED SOTA WITH THIS TRADE
Randale is being developed. So his game will improve.
Randle not that good!!!!
DUMB AF FOR TRADING KAT
Yeah hes not a good fit at all
This video is great! But I do disagree with 2 points:
1) KAT isn't a Defensive Juggernaut. Offensively, much more so, but not on Defense.
2) Julius Randle definitely isn't a hyperathlletic player. Personally, he's far LESS athletic than many other people at his position. He doesn't have the verticality, explosiveness, and agility to give him offensive advantages that athletes like Aaron Gordon displayed in their careers.
