  1. To me Knicks players were only good because the Nova players were together. so breaking that up now the remain ones will be pumpkins. Kat will be grinded to dust by coach. Tibbs is not Kats body. Both teams significantly worse today.

  2. Mitchell Robinson might not have been available to play for the Knicks until December. They lost Hartenstein to Free Agency, so they needed a Center, preferably a starting Center, and they were able to not only trade for a starting Center, but a top 5 Center in the league. Someone had to go besides Randle in order for this to happen because Minnesota has a legit Championship contending team, and they want to still compete at that level, so unfortunately, it was Dante.

  3. Great pick up for Knicks this gives them a scorer at every starting position on the court their spacing will be amazing don't be surprised if the Knicks r top 5 in both offensive n defensive and yes I know Kat is no ben Wallace but he is a big body long athletic enough decent defensive and with bridges n OG WINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME ON. Those two not to mention Josh hart intangibles very excited for the Knicks and I have never been a Knicks fan

  4. Wolves managed to get rid of their biggest problem, on the court and financially, and somehow got something in return that should help them now and in the future.

  5. The Knicks didn't want Randle taking away key Shots form their current key players. I somehow think Towns won't be taking nearly as many shots as he might have in many situations moving forward as he might have previous.

  6. KAT PLAYED OUT OF POSITION THE LAST 2 YEARS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE TEAM .. IN GOTHAM .. HE GIVES THE KNICKS THE BEST STARTING 5 IN THE NBA .. AND MAKES THE KNICKS SERIOUS NBA πŸ€ CHAMPIONSHIP πŸ† CONTENDERS .. WIN WIN TRADE FOR BOTH TEAMS ..

  7. I can't be the only one who was made speechless by the trade, right? Why would the Timberwolves trade away their franchise star player? Especially after he got the team to the Western Conference Finals last season.

  8. NY are looking to avoid any future Randle problems. Towns is an upgrade from Randle, but the unfortunate casualty in order to make this happen was Dante. But Bridges is an upgrade from Dante. So they look to be in good shape this coming season.

  9. Financial? Julius, Ant, with Rudy, DV from three. Timberwolves will be a problem! Low key… I believe they won the trade. Bully ball from here on. Everyone can stretch the floor. Julius is amazing (the NY fanbase sucks). I see no real drop off for the Timberwolves and I disagree that this is just a temporary move.

  10. This is one of those trades that doesn’t make sense for either team lol the knicks lost their depth and got a big who has no discipline and always fouls out and the wolves lost their floor spacer by adding Randle who’s a streaky shooter. Yeah Donte is a good shooter but he’s undersized. Bad trade all around.
