Dey scared now!!! Did anybody see the move Leon Rose pulled off for the NY Knicks!?!? We got a beast who can look like the best player on the floor in the mf all star game!

If you don’t know this moment you are not a Knick fan.

You know, something I've noticed about everyone here the last two and a half years: Everyone is really passionate about the players that come through here. For better or worse.

The fact that I've seen folks checking in to see what Divo and Randle are up to, or how much love folks still have for RJ and IQ...it's different. Other fan bases aren't like this one, I'll say that much. Dudes would come and go in NJ and people didn't care one iota about em once that jersey changed (and best believe, the players reciprocated that feeling).

As tough as it is to play in NYC, because excellence is the expectation no matter what sport, it also comes with some real love. Tough love at times, but love all the same.

Carry on, just making a random observation at 4:57pm on a sleepy Thursday.

We're just toxic tbh.

I did say for better or worse

Frankly I don't see Ant and Randle's personalities or their games meshing at all.

And Thibs got more out of Randle than any other coach by far. It will be interesting to see if he can keep the same level of play he had in NYC.

This is interesting to me, because I actually see them as great fits. From a distance and soaking in hours of Youtube footage in the last week, Randle's personality reminds me somewhat of a more even-keeled Pat Beverley. And Ant and PatBev were very close in their time here.

And on the court, Randle couldn't say enough about Finch as a coach, and vice versa. So I am not too worried about that.

Yeah, I think Randle will mesh well with Ant. Randle got that dog personality that Ant has. I think it'll be a great pairing. Excited to see him ball out for you guys.

2 threads and only 2 suspensions(too bad it wasnt melo ). soft.

I know it's hard when your favorite guy is traded, but try to enjoy what we have now and join in on the fun. Look at Ju and Divo having a good time!

Yes, I am warming up to KAT a little. Still worried about his defense though.

It's good to see Randle in high spirits. He's reunited with his former coach and he's on a championship contender.

Frankly I don't see Ant and Randle's personalities or their games meshing at all.

Minnesota's biggest problem was scoring last year

and now they got a worse F whose higher volume and lower efficiency.

I can absolutely see them struggling big time next year offensively, leading to friction.

T-Wolves' biggest problem was they didn't have another player that can create for others. Conley can't do that anymore, and that's not really KAT's game. Their offense will be different, but should be on par or slightly better depending on what tweaks they do. I don't think it's a forgone conclusion at all.

Who knows, Randle might be what they need and KAT might be what we need.

May not be crazy to think this man can have the Burks green light? Preseason is important af.

from a pure standpoint of getting off kat’s contract so they could have some flexibility and still be competitive post trade hard to argue the wolves aren’t also winners here. i think it’s a win win tbh

Yeah, I think it's very possible this ends up as a win win trade

The other part to that is as soon as KAT puts on the Knicks jersey he immediately becomes overrated and untradable...

Continue here. Stop and get a hot dog as needed.

So many people basically wanted to dump on Randle. We needed to get value.

[Fat Kat]

Wild so many people stating matter of factly , Bridges would never happen and than matter of factly stating KAT would never happen

I was one who stated Bridges would never happen and I would have bet on it
Thats why I dont doubt the Don anymore- he like Wazes to always right

Never ever doubt the Don

Not sure if they can't keep Randle if he plays well this year.

I see no reason why he would demand less than Siakam money in free agency.

Siakam earns "only" about 9 fewer millions a year than Towns. I don't think these 9 millions were make or break for keeping Towns. And that's before factoring in Divo's contract.

Don't be surprised if Minnesota moves Randle before the deadline.

Watch on YouTube

“Among centers who played at least 60 games, KAT ranked 4th best in limiting opponents fg% on shots within 6ft from the hoop, slightly better than Rudy Gobert”

That sounds promising

Very.

He's from the area, is Dominican, Mom, Mecca, KAT already has a huge following here.

If this staff can unlock his defense, the East is going to have a problem and Thibs seems to feel that he can do that.

Yes, iHart already had nice skills, but was still a backup before coming here and wasn't he traded once? The staff did a real nice job developing his game more and I'm sure playing alongside Brunson also elevated his game.

In other words, one cannot compare the skill sets between iHart and KAT prior to coming to the Knicks. If a leap takes place in KAT the same as iHart, the possibilities are unimaginable.
