Randle and DiVincenzo… I don’t like it. Spacing was bad with KAT on the floor, now it’s gonna be a Randle-Rudy front court :banghead:

A first rounder from Detroit. ONE pick :lol: first TC move I’m very against

Randle Gobert front court sounds catastrophic. Why, Tc, why????

TC probably heard that Glen Taylor has won team ownership and he decided to do this to us Wolves fans.

Reminder that Chris Finch coached Julius Randle in New Orleans (along with NAW).

I am sorry but I am very excited for this trade. Randle his more heart, Donte is a very good weapon to replace NAW when he gets paid. We now have the money to keep NAZ.

Towns was soft, never showed up in the playoffs nor makes smarts winning plays.

If we get Det’s first this is a steal and we might have even more moves to come. LOVE IT!!!!! Finally got him off the roster.

2025 first round draft pick to New York
Detroit's 1st round pick to New York protected for selections 1-13 in 2025, 1-11 in 2026 and 1-9 in 2027;
If Detroit has not conveyed a 1st round pick to New York by 2027, then Detroit will instead convey its 2027 2nd round pick

Donte is on a great deal. Honestly he's likely another candidate to fill "PG minutes"

We don’t beat Denver without KAT.

I’m sick to my stomach.

It’s a protected pick that will result in a second rounder most likely????? I’m throwing up all over my living room

This makes Gobert worse, and Ant worse.

How soon before Randle wants a trade, and we can’t find any takers?

This is a significant vote of confidence for new deals for Gobert, Reid and Alexander-Walker imo

Spacing just got so much worse. Randle & Gobert is such a bad pairing. What are we doing

I gotta believe we are trading Rudy as well. Randle and Rudy cannot play together effectively. Looks like ownership wasn’t willing to pay for a contender after all. Fuc******************************k

surprising
Wolves offense was pretty bad (one of the worst of the teams trying to compete, tanking teams behind them)

Randle is actually pretty skilled but teams are happy with him shooting jumpers, whereas that was KAT's contribution

not sure how this works
