KG really likes Randle based on that clip that came out before the trade. He appears to believe that the trade was a mistake by the Knicks based on that Clip. I'd like to know what if anything he is saying now.

Like I said before: Randle's game has changed a lot, evolved a lot.

And that was only in New York. In his last year in Los Angeles, he was a small-ball center.

It all sounds good. Time will tell if it is good. I wish KAT well in NY, but I'm now a bigger fan of Randle and DDV.
Click the link and you will find a video summary of KAT's time here and the story about KAT attending Jon Krawczinski's son's soccer game the day after he's traded.
Makes me a bit emotional about him being gone. :oops:

KAT isn't dead Ya"ll. Just on a different NBA team.
But I get it...
When Randy Moss (my favorite player of any sport) was traded, I sat in front of the TV on the ground and cried...with a 30pk of extra gold.

For real.

I remember growing up a 49ers fan and Joe got traded.
I remember when KG got traded.
I remember Puckett being forced to retire

Life goes on, sports goes on. Wish KAT all the best, now….

Let’s go Julius and let’s go Wolves!

Yeah, I’ll miss him, but I get what you’re saying.

I think Towns still has a ton of character, and he takes that with him wherever he goes. I think he really loves Minnesota, but going back home to contending New York would likely be his #2 choice. And yes, he’s still a 28 year old who’s going to be paid $200 mil or so over the next four years.

I’ll miss him, but I’m happy that his life will go on fine. I wouldn’t mind if he came back here at the end of his career, and retires a Timberwolf.

All of them won one or more titles. I really hope KAT gets one.

For those who wonder: in playoff series against ATL Randle played with following starters Elfrid Payton, Reggie Bullock, Nerlens Noel (Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose). Understandably ATL double, triple teamed him. In 2022-23 playoff games (according to NY media) he played through injuries
