The Knicks did what Miami’s been trying to do for years.When you already have culture and don’t have to compromise it to add elite talent, you win. And you avoid the ‘we have no soul’ type fiasco we got in phoenix and Brooklyn

Brunson
OG/Hart
Bridges
KAT
Robinson

Bench: Hart/OG, McBride, Precious, Payne

That’s just nasty. :scusthov:
My Big Dikk Knickas :wow:

I ain't paying attention
Why is Minnesota doing this?

Cheap owners don't want to pay KAT and they're tied to Rudy because they gave up so much for him

They're hoping Naz Reid is gonna ball out now, but that shyt doesn't work out most of the time

Paint is gonna be too clogged for Ant

I was figuring that the Knicks needed to move of Randle but was not expecting this. Perfect fit for the Knicks. Allows them to play big or small while avoiding clogging the paint for Brunson. Don’t understand this for Minny. I don’t see how having Randle and Gobert on the floor at the same town doesn’t bog down the offense and clog the lane for Ant.

That's not how NBA works lol, they could have traded KAT to some lottery team for Salary dump if that was the case. They clearly value Randle and want to see if he works.

I dont think they value Randle as much as they value not being the 2nd highest payroll in the league...

Randle is likely gonna opt out after this year if they dont like the fit hes gone and they can spend on Naz.....Folks are looking to deep into Minny's "fit" here...

I think for Towns mental psyche New York is the worst place to play besides LA. Gobert hid a lot of Towns flaws.

That shyt don’t even matter anymore . KAT has been viewed thru the lens of a #1 option, then a #2 option. And the microscope that comes with that. For this team he can be a 2nd option, but they don’t even need that. He can be not only a 3rd but a FOURTH option, and still help them reach their peak.

When you take high level talented players and ask them to do less, magic happens. Jrue from being the man in New Orleans to elite role player in Boston and Milwaukee. Lamar Odom from the man on the clippers/heat to X factor in LA. Iguodala from star in Philly to deluxe role player in GS. Aaron Gordon from Orlando to Denver Etc etc
