Breaking: KAT to the Knicks

[Worst_to_First]

The reason I stopped lurking and signed up in RealGM was to support Team Towns in the KAT vs DLo vs Okafor debates. Wow!

[Context]

Y'all think Randle was disgruntled?

10000%

Clear as day to me.

Things got weird with the Captain press conference and the fact Randle never extended in the summer when.

He still thought he was either top dog or co-top dog.

He’s at best a 3rd option, easy solution, ship him out.

No one is gonna miss him standing at the 3 point line pouting because he isn’t getting the ball then walking back on defense. No one is gonna miss his awful dribble isolation sets where he shoots a terrible contested step back.

I dont know much about this but I sensed it...This is Jalens team now...

dont forget the patented spin move to a turnover, classic.

Is Gary Trent, Jr. still available?

I'm not sure I like this trade and I've advocated for trading for Towns in the past.

Ok, so they get better at going 5 out at times, but who is the starting SG or SF?

Hart?

So that means both Donte AND Hart are gone from the bench.

I think this is a trade where the Knicks actually got worse.

I think Duece is starting...makes more sense to have Hart off the bench.

Need harts rebounding and switching up on start the game

we have Mikal and OG for that.

This trade also shows faith in Deuce.

Three point shooting

Brunson - .401 (6.8 attempts)
Bridges - .372 (7.2 attempts)
OG - .394 (4.5 attempts)
KAT - .416 (5.5 attempts)

guys

do not underrate the fact that KAT was willing to be robin.


Randle was never going to harmoniously give up touches in his contract year if he felt he wasn't going to stay with the Knicks. it would've been a bad vibes situation

This is a BS narrative, Randle was fitting in seamleassly and even admitted as much publicly, stop the cap

No he wasn’t.

Someone who plays like a robin isn’t still going to dribble the life out the ball, not move off ball or be a black hole on offense. He did all of those things while we went on that winning streak in earlier in the year. You stop the cap.

KAT is a loser.

Now we pretty much have everyone who matters locked up in a deal right?

[Context]

And the only way the trade could work was if Donte went in the trade from a cap standpoint...

[Galvationknicks]

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.

The Wolves are going to let him expire.

This trade was to save money and let Naz come up

When they signed Naz to all that money you knew 1 out of those 3 was going to be dealt. I think they had like around 40% of the cap in 3 players

We went 11-2…

[HighRyzer83]

Loved the trade then I saw we gave them donte and a 1st. Fkrs couldn't just give them randle

[ezmoney707]

Also this deal makes sense why we signed so many players to camp deals that were wings/guard positions

[isiah_thomas]

Family dollar Donte " Landry Shamet" might make the team now

[Im Coming Home]

Is Gary Trent, Jr. still available?

Do not want. Raptor fans hated him and for good reason. Chucker extraordinaire.

Three point shooting

Brunson - .401 (6.8 attempts)
Bridges - .372 (7.2 attempts)
OG - .394 (4.5 attempts)
KAT - .416 (5.5 attempts)

also bridges and OG are elite in the corners

KAT is elite from the top of key.

Big reason the floor will be spaced where those guys thrive.
