RIP Knicks Nova squad “2024-2024”
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Sad we won’t never know 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️
😂
@@MarvyG23 It ended before it started
Knicks got less weapons now horrible trade
Chris take over Woj’s job at espn
Not a bad thought
How is he going to do that? Woj has GM's, agents, players contacts. Smoove is just a ''news middle man.''
Smoove better
@@wavestation999no lies 💯
A “smoove bomb” 😂🔥
Knicks GM was not vibing with the power of friendship
Ain't no leaf village -ish around here 😂
Friendship? WTFUCK YOU THINK THIS IS?!? This is big business & PHILLY HAD US BEAT & now they DONT.
lol leaf village THIS bozo talking ‘friendship & power of friendship KAT> Randle & lol divvneczo
@@nickytommymancinelli8066 Bro chill out.
@@nickytommymancinelli8066it's a fkin joke chill tf down
With woj retired I guess I’ll get all my NBA news from smoove
So stupid. Timberwolves didn't even give the squad a second chance. I'm not even a Twolves fan and I'm mad 😂
W trade , wolves dont need 2 star centers. they need a forward and guard so big W. I'm a wolves fan and im happy
Agree!
Team was one game from #1 west record and even made the WCF. Not really the time to "blow things up". Feels like a dumb "trade just for the sake of making a trade" move.
Early 2010s, upcoming Warriors lost against the Spurs and Clippers in back to back playoffs. But they kept the same core together and won a championship the following year.
kat chokes, it's been season after season and he doesn't show up in the post season. knicks got fleeced, very smart to dump kat now.
The owner is cheap
Bro they got better addition by subtraction kat and Randle do the same shit at least if Randle play like shit and disappears they’ll get 10 rebounds with it
We gave up Divincenzo I'm not happy about that trade
You have him up for KAT relax, it’s not like you gave him up for Rudy
@@lordforgivemeforiamazynner That white boy was a part of the Nova squad
@@MournfulNetsfan68 man fuck the nova squad get a fucking ring, you boys have been dogshit since melo
@@MournfulNetsfan68 mann fuck the nova squad worry bout getting a ring, you boys have been ass since Ewing
ju is more aggressive and KAT, KAT literally did bad against dallas 0-11 and 2-15 on 3pt and he’s not a better rebounder than JU stop it. look up the stats.
Smoove putting the clip of Randle getting blocked at 0:12 is criminal 🤣
Its a game, relax
Smoove Center BACK AT IT! Just saw the news on IG lmao
Kat can be disappointing at times but he’s still a much better player than Randle
He got benched while scoring 60 points in a LOSS...... that is the kind of player he is.
KAT is soft big man dude want a to guard no one and wants to shoot 3s like his curry
For 220 million better? Lmao
KAT is good but 220mil isn’t what he worth. Ant is gonna worth a gazillion dollar by the time he re sign so they better get rid of kat asap.
KAT is a better player than Randle, but you can't trust either of 'em to make your team better.
Knicks just finessed lowkey, people sleep on KAT
Nobody sleeps on Kat he was roty and the second best player on his team 🤔
But he was ass in the playoffs. Imma keep sleepin
♠️
@@J0SHOFFICIAL who sleeps on him dude? He was an all star this year, just a clunky fit for the Wolves and it showed in the Dallas series
@@micahjohnson425in the east he will be cooking especially Gobert isnt in the paint 24/7
Back here after 2 months and Knicks DEFINITELY won that trade, shot clock cheese!!!
I think this is strictly a salary move for the twolves. Randle’s contract is alot smaller than Towns’ and expires after this season I think? The twolves also got DiVincenzo so I don’t think they did too bad here
a salary move that makes sense is trading rudy, at least first. they are just pucking towns out, its a better for towns i guess, he have now the oppotunity to show himself without the butler drama
Terrible trade for the Wolves
Why? That contract was horrible and Naz does the same things for a lot less . Now you can build a better team around Rudy and Ant
Terrible trade for both. Knicks traded a player that disappears in playoffs for a player that does the same thing😂 and the knicks lost DiVincenzo and gave up a 1st round pick
wolves literally got better
@@Xavier-fy9jw a Conley Ant Julius Naz and Gobert starting five looks and plays better than what they had for sure. Not to mention the depth they have from the draft and the pieces they kept. Connolly pulled off another great trade for the Wolves
@@BrennanDipippo🤦♂️
Even Towns was confused 😂 Randle is injury prone… knicks stay healthy and they may make it to the eastern conference finals
Towns is a lot more injury prone than Randle. It is all about avoiding the Second Apron. Besides, Wolves backup is 6th man of the year.
Towns has been out a lot last couple seasons
Mitchell Robinson went down and the Knicks thought fast!
theres gotta be some behind the scenes stuff going on at MIN, literally makes no sense to trade an all-star to all-nba caliber player whos accepted the role as a 2nd option after years of being a first, to a player who was obviously trying to become a superstar along brunson and plays totally different. They literally just reached the conference finals with this team like wtf?
It’s because of their salary cap concerns with KAT about to earn 55 million a year
@@TheCook43 Bingo. So many teams throw money at borderline All-Stars just to see their depth fade into obscurity. If KAT stayed the wolves would be hovering around the 6-10th seed until Ant demanded a trade. This trade ensures the continuity of Ant, Jaden, and Naz and leaves options open for other roll players.
Trading Dante idk, but trading Randle was a must
Randle was a salary filler IMHO. They will get a good season out of him if he is healthy then sign and trade him if possible or just let his salary walk. The real prize was Dante and dumping KAT's salary.

Who remembers the hippo?
@AB_7092 The hippo had no choice but to sleep
I know you hate that frag from the bOotY!
Is Chris Smoove’s black ops 1 dlc map reviews OG enough for you? 😂😂
Shut up lame
1:16 Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa Johns.
We miss your nba videos Smoove
New York doing what they should've done years ago, signing and trading for all star caliber players.
Randle and Gobert Nasty Front Court 😂
Draymomd betta watch out Gobert got Randle now😂
Naz will start over Randle
Kat was fraud in the playoof i bet randle will do better
@@keydronk7091He's not close to better than Randle that's hilarious
I actually like the trade for both teams
Knicks Kinda Dumb For Giving Up Divincenzo😂😂😂
we didnt even see the nova knicks play together lol
Would've rather gave up OG
@@juliusdeloachno way
Devincino would have had challenges because Mikal and Ananouby need the ball..I think this is a good trade...
@@juliusdeloachthank god youre not the GM
Crazy move
Smoove*
Will we ever get Chris move highlights back😢
We winning the FINALS but I don’t like that we gave up Dante
We need Chris Smoove recapping games again😢. Only reason I actually kept up with the nba and tunes into some games.
1:38 “I don’t like Randall And Gobert together as a pair” smoove with the lowkey BARS…

amen
Amen
@@PeanutSpring3why not 😂
chris u always on point i love that about you
2025 EAST PLAYOFFS MOST ENTERTAINMENT 💪🔥💪
😂😂 terrible trade for the wolves
GREAT trade, lateral move in the short term but sets us up BIG time going forward, could see us being active at the trade deadline now
I didn’t know you still did nba news. I used to watch these years ago
Did not see that coming.
Holy crap
Chris we NEED you doing NBA highlights this season please!!
great trade for both. knicks got a center that can space the floor til robinson comes back and they can put kat at the 4 once he does and the wolves were able to add more bench depth and have the chance to start naz reid and have mcdaniels come off the bench depending on who they face. divincenzo gives the wolves great shooting off the stacked bench and the knicks still have deuce kolek and hart as their backup backcourt. W trade for both.
I miss your vids smoove!
as a wolves fan my thoughts
This trade makes sense for the wolves with salary cap, we had 3 players making over 200 mil someone had to go if we wanted to resign naz or NAW or more bench players…but i don’t know why they would trade kat over rudy. All the chemistry we were working on for the past 3 years, gone. Had one of the best season of our franchise last year for this?? I can say the wolves have the best bench in the NBA now with having Donte here for a couple years plus on a great deal. If the Pistons do horrible enough and get that 1st overall pick Cooper Flag on the wolves wouldn’t be too bad…
🎉 my Knicks LeChesse 😂😂😂😂
Did not expect to wake up to this
I think the Knicks trading DiVincenzo will be the biggest loss for them
The biggest loss for the Knicks is having to deal with Kat on and off the court
90s Knicks Vibes!
Randle alone average better stats than town. A pick and Divinchenzo is a plus
I feel like both teams benefited greatly from this trade. I feel like my team and the Timberwolves are are a more complete team now
They need to trade Rudy gobert
Honestly if they wudve traded Randle for gobert and maybe a other player or picks I would’ve been happy but Kat is not better than Randle, dvo, and first round
@@MacMula they just can't thats the problem atleast not with that salary .. Thats why they trade KAT because its easy one, but they should better package tho than this
Randle wasn’t resigning with the Knicks (wouldn’t sign an extension) so it forced their hand. That context needed when considering their options and what would’ve been a messy locker room to start the season.
Nova Knicks, July 2024 - September 2024
No the nova knicks not a knicks fan but wanted to see that 😭
I feel sorry your not a Knicks fan
@@marvdatboiI feel sorry for Knicks fans
@@akwl0l812that part
The Knicks went from laughable 5yrs ago, to the Avengers 🔥
All of that to still not make it past the 2nd round
Embiid will go for 70 😂😂
@@anotherscratchoffwin8680, 70 missed games, with his fragile ass.
WORD
They got worse dummy
Chris Smoove is always on the move
I think Naz Reid becomes the player the T wolves really need him to be. He didn’t win 6th man for nothing🤷🏾♂️ Ant gets another playmaker/shooter with him with Divo, but randle… idk
Stop playn my manz Randle he the best on both teams smh yah fans don't know nothing lol
He did win the 6th man for no reason lol there weren’t any good candidates for it last year
It’s not official until Chris smoove post it they need to give him his rights back to cover nba games he’s straight to the point includes all the good highlights and plays and uses his infamous catchphrases
Towns do entertain
Chris smoove NBA let’s get it
Needed the SmooveCenter report for this one
As a Thunder fan...thumbs up.
Ant Sitting there going damn shawty 😂 this is how you do me
Knicks aren’t playing around!!!
Gotta love Karl man
It’s like teams focus so hard on the backcourt now that they forget how valuable the front court is💯.
Honestly I thought they were gonna run with this whole nova knicks thing but getting Towns for that price is a steal. So they could nkw run, Brunson, Hart, OG, Bridges, and Towns as their starters.
this is giving me 2016 smoove vibes
I think I kinda like it for the Knicks. It's been awhile since they've really done anything, and I think a fresh start for Randle is good as well. I hope it works out.😗🔥
The fact the Knicks are in need for a center, I think KAT will be a perfect center for the Knicks since Isaiah Hartenstein left and that Mitchell Robinson is out until mid- December (or mid-January) (Nuggets fan btw)
Letting KAT go is crazy
From minnesota and a twolves fan, I'm mixed. On one hand Towns chokes a lot, but on the other he's a big reason where we are.
im kinda mad they gave up Divincenzo especially since they already giving up a 1st round draft pick. randle def is streaky so having consistency is definitely key. Idk how i feel about the trade as a Knicks fan. Im happy we got Towns but at the same time.... idk only time will tell
I like the trade for the wolves. It’s not about who’s the better player I think it’s more about who’s gonna be a better fit. We need more physicality and we got it
honestly it’s gonna come down to how well randle plays to determine the wolves future but the knicks got better regardless (at least on paper)
Timberwolves Gm been off that good shyt 😂😂
i like kat but idk if i like the trade 100%. randle turned our franchise around, but its hard to get a big extension done when he missed b2b playoff runs. i dont hold 2021 against him, he's proven himself to be an all nba player 3x since then. do not sleep on him with the twolves. he's gonna bring versatility to the twolves cuz he can dish and swish and grab boards. he might get sloppy but theres games like new years day vs the twolves where he's killing you all game long. that baseline post fade is money and he's not missing a lefthand layup. kat is a generational sniper, so we get more spacing but it sucks seeing divencenzo go. he saved us in game 2 vs the 6ers, he set the franchise record for made 3s, he was elite at deflecting passes and he didnt even get a chance to run with mikal. im sure if robinson was healthy for once he would have been shipped out instead of divo
Chris nba highlights this coming season please please!
As a Wolves fan and a huge KAT supporter and fan I will need some time to process this. Knicks definitely won the trade. Agree with all your points Chris
Hey Chris, NBA highlights man.
I wonder who the Celtics will play during the ring Ceremony
Chris smoove back with the nba news👀
I’m more surprised by the Chris smoove video than the trade
I think it's a win-win situation, the Wolves become a bit smaller which is better on the long run, while the Knicks get consistency that KAT has
They're actually going for it. You love to see it.
KAT in the Big Apple mad Dominicans. Also Dante coming off bench or Ant at point
such two dedicated Knicks players ...
I like the trade for the t wolves Randle will play inside more than Kat would which I think was the wolves problem last year
Smoove quick 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Knicks only had one 7 footer on the roster, mitch robinson. Center position was their biggest need after they lost iHart and they went and got one of the top centers in the league. I actually thought Julius was a solid player and really came around to be a serious all around contributor. Losing Divo, a fan favorite is tough but the need for a center was obvious with Mitch still recovering to start the season. The pressure on Towns will be high since he’s now the highest payed player on the team. Wolves made the move to save salary for Ants upcoming contract. That’s why they took the expiring Randle contract and they went after Divo hard the year before when he signed with NY. Can’t wait to see the Knicks this year!
Donte “I’ve never thought about living in Minneso… “BRING YA ASS” Ant
Not official until Chris Smoove announce it
never thought i see kat get traded from twolves knicks definitely won the trade but the twolves were smart to let go one of the centers go because honestly kat and gobert were ok together on but i know gobert would do better as the main center and get more lobs from edwards
Pleaseee Chris smoove come back for this season
W for the Wolves added 2 good players & got rid of an expensive ass player that is always under performing for his size. Randle may not be on the level of KAT but overall he’s still good. I think this was a good move overall. Rudy at the 5 Randle at the 4 Jaden at the 3 ANT at the 2 Donte at the 1 & they got Conley & Naz coming off the bench.
Smoove talking about the knicks while casually cooking them in the background💀💀💀
I like Towns on the Knicks. Both are pretty injury prone though. Tough to decide who’s better for either team.
Knicks did need a big man but should not have traded Randle Or DiVencenzo!
Brunson & KAT pick and pops gonna go crazy
Blockbuster after blockbuster!!!
My hunch is the T-Wolves made this trade not for Randle, but for DiVicenzo. This is a play against the Mavs, the team that exposed all of the Wolves offensive shortcomings, which was lacklustre scoring from the wings. DiVicenzo is another guard whose offense the Mavs MUST respect so they don't key-in (double-team) on Ant all the time. Think about it - even though McDaniels is very good on defense, he isn't stopping Luka. And if he's incapable of stopping Luka, then he brings nothing to the table, because the Mavs just leave McDaniels in the corner while they swarm Ant. With DiVicenzo, the Mavs have to at least spare someone to guard him because he's capable of burning them. Which is one less player swarming Ant. They have Reid to replace Towns in the lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if they move Randle afterwards.
It ain't official until Smoove makes a video about it.
The New York Knicks tasted the playoffs and dont wanna go backward again.
@nba give him the license to use your videos he’s making better contents than TNT
yo smoove you back with the nba coverage this year?
