[aggo]

bc

that was the worst of all takes this board ever came up with last 2 years

[NoDopeOnSundays]

And you stannign this loser will be my silver lining when he shts the bed against the bucks/6ers/cs in the playoffs.

The Bucks? The high altitude at whatever militia base camp you're at must be getting to you, they're a 5 game gentlemen's sweep.

My anke is fcked and I just found out i have to watch kat play for the knicks. I'm miserable

that is interesting. Brunson and Hart have the podcast...and Mikal has been on it a couple times. DD didn't even show up to the block party event. And they always talked about that DD never really went out with them.

They had to talk to Brunson before this so the team most be ok with this and it won't hurt the chemistry.

They got their Omari Spellman replacement

The Knicks are a apron team...money doesn't matter in theory you want guys with larger contracts.

That's my silver lining with this is that we can move for someone better. Cool.

He's a better fit with Brunson and he's way more valued throughout the league. For example if you want Giannis down the road if MIL goes down the tank with that old team. MIL wants KAT way more than Randle.

Sure he is a better fit offensively but he isn't going to help on D. He is terrible.

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 won't miss him either, never liked his attitude but I will appreciate what he has done for the knicks. He did take discounted contracts when no one wanted to come here. The minute that there was no extension the last few weeks (if he had signed, coudln't be traded during deadline)... it was writing in the wall.

Randle's contract was a double edge sword. His contract is great for our cap space because that's an undervalule contract. But the moment you want to trade him, you could never get equal value for him with 1 for 1 trade. I never thought the Knicks would trade him for a few role players, our depth was already crazy. I figured it might be Randle and Mitch for whoever.

Anyways, KAT is a 3 fcking level scorer. He can score anywhere on the court. If both players were albatross on defense, may as well get a rare big man that can score on 3 levels.

To my surprise KAT did a great job versus Jokic in the playoff...so there's that.

I'm saying this guy can lock down when he's in it. Wolves were the best defense in the NBA for a reason even with gobert missing games.

We gave up picks in this trade. Not that we ever use them but jfc that's ridiculous

We gave up 1 pick and that was Detroit's pick that was never going to convey.

Might give up more for the 3rd trade.

They also have Marcus Morris for Embiid.

People saying Randle was disgruntled when it was really Donte this whole time. Plot twist

[Loaded_Hollows]

Wtffff??? We traded one of the nova Knicks?? Oh hell no

[JayTWill]

Maybe I missed it but how are the Knicks going to cover the $9million difference in total salary between KAT and Randle/DDV? I know the Hornets were mentioned as a 3rd team for Jeffries but how does that work?

[knicksfan974]

you build the team that beats Boston.


remember this.


this is what was necessary

Good post. The front court is aware you must be able to pass the Celtics in order to win the title, and this move is likely much influenced by this thinking and was made accordingly.

[Chislic]

I've mentioned this before... but KAT's salary is close very close to what Giannis makes. You'll only have to move 1 player and a bunch of picks to get him now. The KAT move is about salary consolidation while upgrading talent.

For now you go with KAT maybe trade for Kessler (if lucky) at the deadline and role with that for now. Wait and see if Giannis shakes loose.

Randle --> KAT --> Giannis.

My dog broke my computer today too

The world is against us. we've established we know KAT sucks so when he fcks the knicks in the playoffs we can take some comfort in the rest of the boards misery. Which is honestly one of the best parts of being a knicks fan.

[Riot Randolph]

We have our KP lol

he should’ve been here his whole career tbh

He’s going to break kp in half…he’s also a Knicks fan our culture is going to be fire

[Stannis]

WTF.... saw this on Twitter and thought it was a meme

[Capn'O]

We need Mitch for philly.

[DaGawd]

that’s honestly bizarre if divo wasn’t happy here

Low key big night for Deuce.

Is this a downgrade in shooting ultimately, or a wash? Towns > Mitch or Precious, Hart < Bridges or OG
