Randle takes infuriating shots but nobody can dispute how hard he plays.

T Wolves certainly didn't look like a top team down the stretch.

Very much a typical OG game. 17/6, a bunch of 3s and great defense.

Lol the new Raptors haven't played a game..I think we won this trade imo.

both sides won but we won more. anytime you trade 15 ppg for 18+15=33 ppg you won the trade.


If they can get a great scorer, it's a great trade for both teams, but if the Knicks can't get someone like Donovan Mitchell, I think they just created one hole to fix another. They're not as good as they think they are.

Good win for NY. OG will do a lot of good for NY since they basically swapping OG for RJ. IQ developed and so they had a real good trade piece to get OG and who was also on the bench. NY aint done either.

When you've been as bad as the Knicks have been, you’re just happy to be here playing competent basketball.

It’s going to be a win win trade for both teams unless some team offers OG 40M + in FA.

Sure but they have a huge hole in their bench now.

Apparently they are high on Deuce McBride as well to slot in for Quickley.
