CAT for Randle would be bad enought, but accpetable. CAT is overpaid considering what he really delivers. The one we should trade is Mitchell. This is for me the 2nd mistake Leon did this offseason, the first one was not getting Valenciunas or another good center in the first days of the Free Agency.
I agree we should have kept Donte. But Kat coming to the Knicks we don’t need him at the 4 and he’ll most likely be at the 5. The beauty is we have shooters already and players that can score and defend on the outside perimeter. Kats stats aren’t even that bad. He legit averaged 21.8 pts, 8.3 rebounds, 87.3 % ft, 50.4 fg %, 41.6% 3pt, last season The fact he can score himself will indeed help spread the floor. Everyone’s a shooter, so we don’t need Kat playing hero ball. And the best part is he played 62 games lol.. we need a healthy 7’0 footer hanging around Desperate move for sure but one I want to see play out
@@JusCuzItsDope it’s a bunch of casuals giving bad input on why they think this is a bad trade. This trade makes sense. It hurts we lost Donte but we can now be at peace at the center. And honestly this starting 5 is better than the Celtics starting 5
I love Randle and I love Donte but rose hasn’t failed us so we have to trust the process we haven’t had and offensive help from the center position we finally have a good big since Patrick Ewing
1 word: Stunning. NY gave up a lot, but I get it. Needed a Big man. Obviously Thibbs knows him and wants him in his lineup. Had to get something for Jules before he walked. Again stunning to the Nova Knicks chemistry but in all honesty DD & JR do not fill the big man role to compete at the highest level in this league. We’ll all feel better when they raise the banner.
A-. The fit is too to good to ignore. Big ragu gone is the reason for the minus. They clearly have faith in what they have without him. This deal was an emotional one, that’s why it’s feels so hard. But if you take that out, this makes all the sense in the world.
10 years from now, many fans won't remember who won the championship, but they would have remembered the Nova Knicks, and if that group won the championship, it would have gone down as one of the greatest stories in sports.
I like the trade, there's a lot of if's we're dealing with. If Jules never got injured, if Mitch wasn't injured, if we managed to find a way to keep IHart, but none of those things happened so here we are and you can't argue that it doesn't make the Knicks better.
The woodpecker and the stray cat .😅 A big guy that likes to stay on the outside. And little guy that likes to head bunt people for fouls.😂😂😂 The Refs are going to LOVE yall this year.
This was an amazing trade … Randle was underperforming in the playoffs and although he’s an All-Star during the regular season in the playoffs he’s a non factor .. Donte is an excellent shooter , I’d would’ve liked to keep him but in the playoffs he’s ineffective since the Knicks floor isn’t spaced out due to our lack of offensive options.. overall this trade is a B+ , we needed someone to cause matchup troubles with Embid and Porzingis
Love the trade! We weren’t giving Julius a max deal coming off major surgery! He doesn’t space floor for Brunson and I never liked his attitude! Donte was only getting 15 mins per home off bench and he wouldn’t have been happy in that role! Towns helps us match up better against Boston and OKC! Mitch, Hart and Deuce coming off bench will be awesome! I like the squad and will always I support my Knicks!!! I believe in Leon Rose!
bro when you speak people listen, I’ve been a knick fan my whole life and i can say that there’s no other person i’ll rather listen to speak about this team then you. Championship or BUSTTT LETS GO
I give it an A . Dvo will be missed but we have other talented guards ready to play. We had a hole at the center spot and we’re considering playing Randle at the 5. On top of Randle needing to resign this summer. Not to mention our spacing just got leaps and bounds better
We just lost a big part of our shooting. With this trade, Donte was a huge part of that bench. I would’ve through way more picks and someone like McBride. Now we have to be better than last year, NO EXCUSES AT ALL REGARDLESS OF INJURIES…
Towns is back home and I believe he will play his heart out to remain in New York and the fans will love him. I wish Randle and his family the best of luck.
this dude is indeed who he says he is. playoff and regular season. IF HE WANTS TO FALL in line IF HE WANTS TO fit In. 2 words to describe this trade.. WE'LL SEE.
I'm not a knicks fan but I do know they loved Dante. Still a few more questions. This trade happened way too late in the offseason, gonna take some time for them to mesh with KAT. KAT playing in the East should be easier on him. He doesnt have to deal with playoff Jokic or Anthony Davis. And I also have a feeling that MIN is gonna flip Randle to somewhere else.
whose to say divo won’t be insanely mad not being a starter after his season last year?, whose to say divo can even continue his great play with drastically less minutes ?
I prefer Deuce to start honestly. 41% from 3 last year, you put that in the starting lineup for even more shooting to space the floor. Hart is perfect as sixth man off the bench.
U could not go into a Randal walk season with Mitch Robinson as your only center. And Achua as the backup and starter when hurt. The cost to fix it was Dante. This team needed Dante to carry them last year at points with injuries, that won’t be the case this year we are to deep, A-
Marshall, you finally got what you wanted in seeing Julius Randall being traded. This was an obvious move since the Knicks were trading from a position of need versus want. The reason why Julius Randall held out from signing is because he wants to get paid just like OG wanted to get paid, it's not rocket science❗ I'll miss both Donte and Julius for what they gave New York both on and off the court and wish them well. However It will be interesting to see if Carl Anthony towns continues with his lackluster approach to playing defense now that he's reuniting with Tom Thibodaux?!? I just hope Mitch makes a speedy recovery and can finish the season to bring what he does best which is lockdown defense and offensive rebounding ‼️ Trading DaQuan Jeffries along with draft compensation is supposed to balance out Karl Anthony Towns huge salary✌🏽😎🏀
I can't believe we got rid of our instant and high powered offense in divencenzo. He would have been coming off the bench. And we are guard heavy so it might work. But damn. I'm gonna miss donte
Shock-But we know this is JB’s Team. I love KAT for Randle but obviously I’m pissed About Donte. But Seeing Randle go- No problem we upgraded w/ KAT! Let’s Go!
This trade is just too much! Donte should not been traded. Julian just donated a court to the new Monroe school. It kinda feels like a stab in the back. We did see the Knicks without Julian though.
This just feels like the Knicks, once again, ruining something good they were building b/c of a "must win now" trade where we overpay for someone who doesn't actually fix their problems. We had issues with needing a defensive big b/c of Mitch's injures and our depth overall... so we traded for an average defensive center with a huge contract and we get less deep in the process... I hope I'm wrong but I do not like this deal
11:03 What's crazy is fans more upset over losing Donte than Randle... which makes no sense?? (similar to Hartenstein🤔). Divincenzo aint Larry Bird!!! Love this trade..Knicks best roster in the East!!!

Full Knicks-Timberwolves trade details New York Knicks acquire: Karl Anthony Towns (F/C) Minnesota Timberwolves Acquire: Julius Randle (F), Donte DiVincenzo (G/F), 1st Round Pick (Via Detroit Pistons) Charlotte Hornets acquire: Daquan Jeffries (F), draft compensation
I might be in the minority but I'm not mad. The Nova Knicks were a feel good story but that doesn't get banners in the rafters. The hurt of losing Donte goes away if Deuce McBride can take the next step. The second hurt is the end of KAT's contract. Knicks may be hamstrung in the future. That all goes away if this move brings one chip. I think Knick's fans will sign up for that all day long.

WHAT?!?!
I'm shocked, happy, sad
Championship!
Zesty
Of course it was obvious that it was gonna happen, but they never should’ve gave up DiVincenzo
Agreed
@@honeym00nhelly out of all the players they have on this roster they could not have found someone else to give up

@@glaucovalente3350horrible take lol
Literally no one else on the roster that we could’ve given up
Donte won me over as a Knick! I was REALLY looking forward to him being part of our championship run!
I'm not to happy with this trade really didn't want to give up donte
like he said I thought he was gonna retire here…..
Exactly i don't like that they traded him either@@LordAnt611
Get a Timberwolves jersey 😂
Had to give up something of value to get a legit star big. Could be worse than giving up a 6th man
I just don’t know how I feel
I want dawgs on this team
Not cats
But Migrants eat both!
Fr 💀 absolutely hate that they gave up donte though
YES YES YES
We have to keep Marcus Morris to compensate for the loss.
Randle was a dog? Fake news. But kat was definitely an upgrade over Randle
The knicks should have not traded the big Ragu they should have traded McBride. GO KNICKS
YES!
You don't trade McBride
salary dump... McBride is 4 mill and more upside
@@argentivulpes2813 I was just about to tell him this, Donte makes more so it equals up, not really about skill
Mcbride doesn't make enough money to match the salary of kat
It’s a B for me. I am legit sick to my stomach about Donte… I know it was necessary but I’m heartbroken. 💔
We need Ragu back 🔥💪🏽
@@cesardumet6010 duh.. we got bridges
Divincenzo trade will hurt them down the road.He was the guy with deuce that kept them in the Playoffs
I agree we should have kept Donte.
But

Desperate move for sure but one I want to see play out
Should have been mitch and randle
Ain’t no way that makes it happen. Robinson is a walking ER Patient
Wolves already has Gobert, why get Mitch lol
WTF... You don't break up the Nova chemistry.
Get over it bro 😢
Goddamnit... The Nova guys should have been untradable..
Lol..nobody is untradable
You just gave tibbs a injury prone team we are only going to have 4 people left in the roaster in the playoffs
Towns played 62 games last season.. how does adding him make them injury prone?
@@Jlife13300and he played in the playoffs and has been playing in the playoffs … what he talkin bout
@@JusCuzItsDope it’s a bunch of casuals giving bad input on why they think this is a bad trade. This trade makes sense. It hurts we lost Donte but we can now be at peace at the center. And honestly this starting 5 is better than the Celtics starting 5
If Randle didn’t break out and have All NBA seasons . NONE of these moves would happen.
I love Randle and I love Donte but rose hasn’t failed us so we have to trust the process we haven’t had and offensive help from the center position we finally have a good big since Patrick Ewing

It's hard to swallow it cause we love Dante , but at least we have a center position almost covered
Someone go wake up Stephen A. Smith. I need to know how he feels about this.
😅😅😅😅
Who cares how he feels
But he's a buffoon
He's waking up in Hollis Queens.
Donte and a 1st we got fleeced like always
A first that will most likely end up being like a 2nd because it’s massively protected lol
the 1st is nothing but its a tough move after the playoffs that Donte had ... the KAT contract is an albatross, its a huge commitment ...
Kat is a 4 time all star and rookie of the year I doubt Knicks got fleeced 😂
KAT has 4 years left on his supermax and he’ll be getting paid over $50M a year.
Respects for what Julius did for us.
Get injuries prior to the post season?
Not sure we got significantly better here...Donte was a favorite!
Excellent trade A+
Donte Divincenzo is the only reason I'm not loving this trade. My 1 word reaction is: DONTE!?
Terrible deal. Gave up to much for Towns. I hate to see DiVincenzo go. Towns is Overrated.
Send Mcbride not Donte
YES YES YES
We gave up more for bridges
@@ItsToog Yeah, But that was worth it. I would have preferred Walker Kessler, Jalen Duran, Sengun over Towns! Just My opinion.
" Duren"
I Hate this trade
Hope it works, have no reason to doubt Leon!!!
A-. The fit is too to good to ignore. Big ragu gone is the reason for the minus. They clearly have faith in what they have without him. This deal was an emotional one, that’s why it’s feels so hard. But if you take that out, this makes all the sense in the world.
A- ..let's see if he can play at least 75 in a season not including the playoffs
Required
We needed a big desperately... would of loved to keep DD but it was necessary.
Towns
Og
Bridges
Hart
Brunson
😮
Mistake
Facts the Knicks will regret this move. He went 3/22 from three in the wcf. That gives me Obi Toppin vibes 🤢
B- they should of had traded Cam Payne instead of Donte Divi
I like Deuce but Divo absolutely won me over for our team!
Horrible trade. C-
Wont be once the season starts..
Towns is the best scoring center we have had since Patrick Ewing in the 1990s…
If this trade was made before the bad news of Mitch came out, the Knicks would have given up less.
Kendra Randle's gonna be pissed about moving to Minneapolis 😥😅
Bro we good y’all chill out 😂😂😂
B+ hate we lost Divo! But our first offensive 5 since Ewing
The Knicks should've included Daniel Jones in the trade instead of Donte 😂
😂😂😂
I mean he wasn't that bad against the cowboys tho
Who are the bench players
Trade is a B.....Mitch and Randle with 2nd pick.... that should have been the trade....lol. Oh well. We win regardless!!! LGK
Domination !!! 💪🏽🤘🏽💪🏽
this reminds me of the OG trade. Randle is similar RJ and you need to give up some thing its Donte
Having a scorer at the 5 is gonna be huge.
Donte was a streaky shooter anyway yeah looked good some days but would go cold for games and randle was trash during playoffs and injury prone
10 years from now, many fans won't remember who won the championship, but they would have remembered the Nova Knicks, and if that group won the championship, it would have gone down as one of the greatest stories in sports.
BAD TRADE !!!!!! They should have kept Di Vincenzo !!!

Knicks not selling Randle jerseys at msg was a key give away lol

Dang.. B+ I would have loved to keep divo
B+. Donte is coming off the bench this year and we are deep in guard position. He is not a major loss.

What does the second unit look like now?
I would have not included donte in the trade but Good pick up for sure for our New York Knicks 👍
Crazy but I heard Divo wanted to start!
whose to say divo won’t be insanely mad not being a starter after his season last year?, whose to say divo can even continue his great play with drastically less minutes ?
Grade the trade: A, B, C, D or F
A
D for DiVincenzo
C. D for Minnesota so i guess we won the trade.
F. KAT is soft. New York Knick grit is dead..
F
I prefer Deuce to start honestly. 41% from 3 last year, you put that in the starting lineup for even more shooting to space the floor. Hart is perfect as sixth man off the bench.
Yeh na. Can't have two 6"1 guards in defense even tho deuce can guard. Mikal at the 2 and OG at the 3 will make us so tough to score on
U could not go into a Randal walk season with Mitch Robinson as your only center.
And Achua as the backup and starter when hurt.
The cost to fix it was Dante.
This team needed Dante to carry them last year at points with injuries, that won’t be the case this year we are to deep,
A-
Donte will be back!
I don’t like getting rid of divo but to get a player like towns you gotta give up some goods

I wanted to win a Championship with Randle before we traded him… but whatever. We are going to score faster and a lot this season. Chip season!!!!
Randle and Deuce would have been my trade, but we have a full viable starting 5!
We picked up a 4 time All star,2 time All NBA former number 1 pick and people are really crying about Divo smh
A soon as someone gets a new toy it's the best toy ever, because it's in their possession. Lol!! Thanks KAT and good luck to you
B I like this trade really wanted to draft towns In 2015
I can't believe we got rid of our instant and high powered offense in divencenzo. He would have been coming off the bench. And we are guard heavy so it might work. But damn. I'm gonna miss donte

Pretty sure McBride was offered before giving up Donte so that’s the only part that stinks
A+ Best starting 5 in the league … and Tibbs uses 8-9 man rotations
