Donte is probably gonna be happy about this. He might be the 3rd leading scorer on the Timberwolves. He wasn't going to be anywhere near that on this Knicks squad.

Donte won't get more touches than Edwards and Randle obviously, but he should get more shots up than the rest of their squad.

People are saying that Mitch isn't perfect for New Orleans?! They don't have a center... everyone wants a stretch 5... we just took the last available stretch 5.

New Orleans need to fix their STARTING center before they can even pursue high expectations of making a deep playoff run. Unless Missi (rookie) or Daniel fcking Theis becomes iHart... they will probably need to give up one of their glut of wing players.

Mitch for Trey Murphy & Hawkins

I don't think they will do this but.. Mitch, Pacome and FRP (WAS) for Herb Jones?!

I wasn't convinced KAT was better than Randle anyway but a deal sending out Divo to get it done makes this so much less appealing...

If I didn't have trust in the FO from their track record I'd be calling this a loser deal and I will reserve my right to still say it in the future.

Wut...and a first...even an owed one, I like this deal even less and I didn't like it before I heard about the pick. KAT better not be a pussy or he'll get reamed by Knicks fans, I'll say that much.

New Orleans being in such dire straits for a starting center is the rationale behind them giving up a valuable player to acquire a guy who is missing the first 30 games of the season?

I’m still tryna figure out in what world Randle is better than Kat. Knicks fans are hilarious. Just like when folks was trashing OG saying he don’t stay healthy he’s meh blah blah.

I would suggest not reading the paper or checking social media for any player it’s getting crazy.

A lot people who don’t like it are likely the same people who crapped on Randle for years while he made 3 all star teams, the same people who insisted his contract is bad and nobody wants him when a team who was just in the conference finals traded a star for him, and the same people who wanted Leon rose to tank as he leapfrogged the entire nba almost overnight. And probably wanted to fire our top notch coach along the way. Maybe just sit this one out and let Leon keep working his magic.

This is similar to when KG(who took the Timberwolves to the conference finals) finally got out of that dead end Minnesota cesspool to join pierce and Allen. They’ve held
my man back for years and now he’s unleashed. It’s over for the league.

Hello, my team has Donte DiVincenzo!
So just curious Knicks fans what type of ceiling does he have?
He's got such a magically quick release, so maybe he will be Klay Thompson?

As far as I’m concerned Leon has officially upheld his end of the bargain. He played the long game and landed the CAA star target I wanted for years. I was a bit skeptical after he didn’t get Donovan but he had the real plan set all along. Promises made, promises kept. Thank you, CAA!

At the beginning of last season if you were told the Knicks would have KAT, OG and Bridges to go with Brunson on the roster for the beginning of next season the slap up side the head would be heard around the world.

I’m guessing he regresses out of depression of not getting to play with Brunson hart and Mikal so my comparison and projection will probably be 2022-2023 Donte divencenzo
