Soft a** sissy like KAT in New York? Good luck.

 

I did not see this one coming!!! I always thought KAT would be moved but after last year's success I thought it would not happen.

This is a big move by both teams. It's brilliant by the Knicks to move from Randle and get someone as good as KAT.
Not sure about the Wolves angle, Randle is not a great pairing with Gobert either, though Donte is a nice addition to their backcourt. Getting a Pistons' FRP is awesome although they shouldn't be making trades for picks now. Really head scratching...
I think Ant and KAT were never buddies and KAT never loved Ant taking his spot, so maybe Ant asked them to move KAT

 

Man, that's a haul for Minny. Shooter, Randle, and a potential massive pick. NY is fiending for relevance.

 

C bags are the LUCKIEST sobs ever to win it all last yr

 

Unless Julius is dealing with a lingering injury issue, it looks like Min got the better of that trade.

 

It's a mid round pick, most likely 2 seconds.
Because it's top 13 protected, then top11, then top8 and finally conveys to 2 seconds in 2028 if needed

 

KAT always was problem for Davis.
Road to championship becoming easier

 

It's about the same statwise actually. He has some issues with both.

 

I wonder if she applied on LinkedIn. Yes, we were looking to fill this position on LinkedIn

 

KAT to NY always made sense being from Jersey and the ties to Rose, but the timing...Definitely left field. I think it gives Minny more balance, the two center thing was never going to work long term and they sold the farm to get Gobert so you can't trade him.

NY gets a bigger name and better player when both are healthy, and they needed a center after some injuries. Ny fans though, they'll turn on him though.

 

…I don’t know what I think of this one yet

 

Minnesota wanted to save on tax dollars. Getting Randle who's going to a FA next year will save them money and reduce their tax burden.

As for the basketball fit, agreed it's questionable lol.

 

certainly good news for the lakers. one less big man in the west to worry about

knicks are loaded with weapons going into the season and might just give boston trouble

can't see randle's game fitting well with gobert or edwards. sucks for minny fans. they finally had something good going for the first time since the KG days and realized they wouldn't be able to afford all those contracts pretty soon

 

I'm not sure Lebron or Rui can do anything with Jules, on defense either though. Donte is a solid pickup too

 

Thibs runs his players into the ground and then scraps them. Hope Julius is ok. Ram him heavy minutes.

 

December can't come soon enough.

 

Mark Williams got injured and will miss 2 weeks. He really looks injury prone so probably Nick Richards won't be available for cheap. Let's see who becomes available, it would be nice to get a center without trading our top8 guys, so using vet mins and JHS while not using a FRP. It's Cooper Flagg so maybe we find something

 

I feel like this gets glossed over too much. The pursuit of Klay involved trading DLo and didn't require Lebron to take a $20M paycut. The idea that the Lakers passed on Valanciunas is not based in reality. While there were early reports Lebron might take a paycut to help in FA, it became abundantly clear it was never going to be that massive. This seems pretty cut and dry.

 

I don't see how this is possible considering Minnesota paid this for Gobert

• Malik Beasley
• Patrick Beverley
• Leandro Bolmaro
• Walker Kessler (No. 22 pick in 2022 Draft)
• Jarred Vanderbilt
• 2023 first-round pick
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pick
• 2029 first-round pick

KAT was a steal, and I'm not even a big fan of his. Randle has a lot of health issues, DiVincenzo is okay, but lots of players like him available at the min or MLE every year, and then just 1 pick.
