KAT to the Knicks, Randle and DiVincenzo to Timberwolves [TRADE FINALIZED]

[ECA]

All these Knicks line ups with KAT at the 5....i hope ya'll have run this past Big Purr

My man ain't trying to play as a center anymore

KAT is 2x all Nba at the center spot

I thought both teams would have tried through half the season. Then if you're not good, then make a trade.

i think minn was scared they wouldnt be able to drop that contract if they waited.

How the Knicks' and Wolves' unique problems led to this unlikely trade

A hole at center and a lack of ownership clarity led these two teams with championship aspirations to work with each other to bolster their hopes of getting to June.

Ehh. This trade would’ve been there for them at the deadline

 

[Peter Popoff]

WEIRD MOVE FOR BOTH TEAMS

KAT PROVIDED MUCH NEEDED SPACING FOR MINNESOTA AND THEYRE COMIN OFF A WCF APPEARANCE WITH THE STAR PLAYER BEING ONLY 22 YEARS OLD

RANDLE WAS THE HEART & SOUL OF THE KNICKS RESURGENCE ERA AND THEY BEAT INDIANA IF HE NOT INJURED


SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS UNFOLDS

Better for Knicks than wolves. I think for the wolves, it's because they want to extend Naz Reid on a better contract and no one is stupid enough to take Rudy Gobert....

Spoiler: No deadass

They aren't beating the Celtics this year, but they more than likely can get at least one during their current run with money eventually breaking up that Celtics core.

Maybe he’ll surprise me but I don’t see a bounce back season from Dame either. He’s 34

Just feels like an encore of last season is inevitable for MIL

I have enough respect for Dame that I believe he'll have a great season. Players of his caliber have a pride factor that I won't discount.

Him and Giannis in a seven game series would be a handful for anybody. They just gotta get there in one piece.

That's if they even make the playoffs this season.

What's their to be optimistic about with that team?

They were essentially a play-in team when Doc came into the fold and would have had even lower seeding had the teams behind them been healthier.

Other teams in the East have gotten better and GTG/Wright isn't enough to help that aging core.

There's six teams in the East that you can argue inspire more optimism than them.

Why so morose?

Starks avg 19 & 5 that year, and mad all-defensive team the season prior to that...Donte's best statistical season was last year 15ppg & those numbers are a bit inflated with everyone being hurt

I think I read he was 20.1 ppg over the Knicks last 48 games

This trade might have helped ease the minutes logjam for Thibs tho
