Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
I mean it makes sense, but im going to miss Donte. that guy gave me one of the greatest knicks playoff moments in a minute.

Remember the charity event with Julius Randle and Thibs. Meant Julius was here forever! Even named the court after him. ..

Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
I’m pretty critical of how leaky this front office is but wow this is really out of no where. Even as shocking as the Mikal trade was there was at least reporting we reached out. Begley and Katz thought it be crazy if a Knicks made a move for a big this close to training camp. Major props if this doesn’t fall through.
I'm apart of a Knicks podcast! You Should check it out!

Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
we gotta look at this cold and calculated. randle has never had a good playoff game for us. he’s coming off shoulder surgery and needs new money. in all likelihood donte just had the best season of his career. i can see the vision.

Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
Guess my forum name means something now? This trade is bonkers. Not so much losing Randle, but giving up Donte, and the pick?? I'm curious how Jalen feels about yours, too.

It’s wild to me how NBA trades get announced as agreed upon when they technically they haven’t even found a third party yet. Like what if you can’t find one. Then what?

Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
I love this trade. KAT is a 40% 3point shoot ... I hope KAT listens to Thibs this time around. I hope Leon consulted with fcking Thibs before making this trade.

He wasn't going to play as much, plus it clears way for more Deuce.

Also, some rando on X a few days ago said they ran into Chris Haynes and unsolicited he told him one of the Knicks players wanted out. Insinuated it was Randle. Turns out he was right on the money!
damn randle wanted out..

On a real level, this makes sense, but emotionally I hate it.
We owed him this season, at least the first half to prove himself.
100%
I was looking forward to seeing what he could do at the 5, I think if Thibs let him it could be one of the more intriguing offenses in the league not unlike my CT Sun with Alyssa Thomas
I get it. KAT makes sense for us with losing iHart and Mitch being out, and Randle/DDV were clearly the odd men out, but still
Maybe I sober up and like it better in the morning, honestly it seems fair, I just wasn’t expecting this right now.

Now watch the pundits say we lost the trade after all of them were down on Julius.

Don’t get comfortable the money doesn’t add up. Clearly more pieces are going to get added.

The Wolves are going to let him expire.
This trade was to save money and let Naz come up
