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
This says it all.
If Hartenstein doesn’t leave and Mitch doesn’t get hurt they don’t do this.
You think KAT is gonna be a lesser scoring option than Mikal Bridges or OG?
I mean I get your sentiment about having to do less but I’m not sure if that applies here
In what world would he be a 4th option for the Knicks?That shyt don’t even matter anymore . KAT has been viewed thru the lens of a #1 option, then a #2 option.

Truth is this trade actually puts OG in his correct position as a 4th option...hes paid so he wont bytch about it but you dont want OG any higher than that in the pecking order ....Alot of Raptor problem the last 3 years a big one was trying to force Anunoby to be higher in that order than he should have been...In what world would he be a 4th option for the Knicks?
OG will never be above KAT in the pecking order
And I doubt Bridges will be either, KAT is a flat out better more proven offensive player than either of those guys, he will be getting the ball a lot
