All things that are the opposite of the pressure cooker that is NYC. I'm happy for the man that he's found his natural vibe in Minnesota!
He just wasn't built for New York. He isn't ashamed of that.
Not everyone can handle NY.

Nah, that's all analytics driven, you have to honor it.
Thankfully it doesn't mean anything to what's actually going to happen this year - adjustments, fit, growth, chemistry, etc. I think a lot of people don't believe what that formulas turned out on the deal, so we'll just have to wait until the games start getting played.

How does liking a slower life mean he's not built for NY?

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

Not honoring BSPN.
Vegas odds are the the ones that matter....and they have it right.

Maybe not. You may also have to consider he won't resign with them. I can't put my finger on it, but I always had a nagging feeling that he might fit in well in Houston. No real reason other than he's from Texas.

We traded Donte for KAT.
Randle was useful for matching salaries

Can't wait to see Mikal play.
I want his impact on the court to make me forget about Donte.

Re: KAT to Knicks Part 3
We are all thinking in terms of "We have Bridges instead of Donte." The truth is, when we had both, we all knew Donte would play fewer minutes than last year. Maybe only 20-25. So we lost 20-25 minutes of Donte, not a full game of him. Because he wouldn't have been playing anywhere near last year's minutes. We were concerned whether Deuce would even play enough minutes to develop and be satisfied. 
OTOH, if we have a significant guard injury, we lose the coverage he would have provided. Hopefully Shamet and CamPaign can fill in if needed.

Re: KAT to Knicks Part 3
Making it to the postseason is a safe bet for the New York Knicks were given an over/under of 54.5 wins by bookmakers.
