Never made any sense. He had a career year with the Knicks, got paid a lot of money from the Knicks when most were saying he was an overpaid free agent, got to play with all his college buddies. Why would he want to leave?
Respect to KAT. I was not a fan of KAT before but after his interview with the podcast P last time and seeing how he treats his fans, I was like man this dude deserves respect.
Windy, what you even talking about? 3pt shooting? Brunson 41% 3pt Hart 37% 3pt Bridges 40% 3pt OG 40% 3pt KAT 41% 3pt, off the bench you have Deuce, Cam, etc. We have 3pt Shooting
I'm pretty sure he was talking about the T'Wolves and how they have to replace KAT's 3pt production, DiVincenzo is great from 3, but he himself wont replace KAT's production, since Randle isn't much of a perimeter shooter you gotta get that from someone else.
@@09lowkey randle is a perimeter shooter. He started off om a.cold stretch last year because they were working on changing where he took his 3s and he was taking a lot less 3s and was ice cols for 2 months even though his midrange was on fire but when they traded for og and the spacing got better he was om fire for 20 straight games it was like he couldn't miss. He prefers his mid range jumpers but make no mistake he is a shooter, he's not someone teams leave open on the perimeter he will draw gravity from the defense

@@TheTwinkiefoot OG, Towns and Mitch. We don't know if Mitch is coming off the bench since we have no power forwards they may do what the wolves did with Kat and Gobert.
THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES ARE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE BY TRADING KARL ANTHONY-TOWNS. The starting 5 is undeniably worse without KAT. This was a a top-five starting unit in the league, were the best defensive team in the Association for long periods, and were on the doorstep of the number one seed in the Conference. When replacing KAT with Naz Reid or Julius Randle in the starting lineup, it’s a clear downgrade in talent and star power. One could make a case for improved depth with the addition of Donte Divencenzo in the deal and the sweetener of the draft pick, but usually when you lose the star in the trade it’s not a good sign - and this is certainly a net negative in that respect.
I'm sorry but Kat is not that much better than Randle. Kat is also making 20 mil a year more than Randle. Kat is more injury prone than Randle. Donte can shoot lights out and Randle can also shoot away from the basket so its not like the wolves are losing that much shooting. Plus they could flip Randle at the trade deadline or let him walk at the end of the season and have 30 mil coming off the books.
Randle thus far has peaked higher than KAT has. Neither of them has a great postseason resume but Randle has done alot more to get his teams to the playoffs than KAT ever has. Before Ant, KAT had the perfect opportunity to drive success for his team, instead he ran Jimmy Butler out of town and never made the Playoffs again until Ant Edwards came along. Also, your younger star teammate shouldn't be sitting next to you in a press conference talking about 'you need to play better and stop making dumb mistakes', everybody in the room thought he was joking around but he was dead serious. KAT didn't demand any respect from other players in Minn. he was just the guy they had to throw the $$$ at, so they threw it at him, doesn't mean he actually earned it. Also there's the salary cap situation, KAT is grossly overpriced so replacing him with Randle gives them roster options going forward, even if they extend Randle his contract will be lower then what they'd pay KAT. Good move by the T'Wolves, it doesn't make them better (evidently speaking), but it does give them a different angle and more flexibility. Between Edwards, Reid, and McDaniels they should be a contending group for the foreseeable future, if they make good moves around the edges and keep Edwards happy they should have a wide open championship window until Edwards leaves or falls off, he's only 23 so they have time. Running it back with KAT wouldn't get them any closer to winning it all than this trade would.
You're forgetting one key fact. Th wolves are BROKE. Thy were 100 million dollars in the red last season and are in an ownership battle, they cannot afford kat
KAT is just a big name as he was the number one pick in the draft and was supposed to be a cornerstone. As far as breaking down basketball is concerned, there is very little separation between KAT and Randle, who's been an all NBA performer the last 3 seasons. I actually think Randle has a deeper offensive bag compared to Kat who wants to jack up 3's or face up defenders and foot race it to the rim. Randle has better stats on a very good Knick team. Plus Dante is a shot maker, one they could've used against the Mavis last season. I prefer the offensive make up of this Wolves team with Randle, Dante, plus what they got in the draft with Shannon and Dillingham...
Justice😅? He is not in jail. If ESPN does not want quality basketball content anymore, other platforms will. The best way to support Zach is to follow him whereever he lands next. I will defineteley follow. Apart of the hoop collective podcast and some of the dumbest takes/ reloport segments like this Here once in a while, there is nothing i watch on ESPN anymore..
I'll say this on paper it looks good. But them boyz had chemistry and with Julius a bully in the post and the tough guy on the team Hmmmm. You also got rid of your big shot maker/hustle guy those are hard to find. I would have loved to see what they looked like with Randle back in the line up. I know he had shoulder surgery and what not. We'll see.......👀
KAT at one point aroud 2015-18 was overrated as he was the GM's choice a few years in a row as to which player would you choose to start a franchise with, but since that time he has become completely underrated. Great move by the Knicks to get him
Brunson Hart Bridges OG KAT Shamet Deuce Precious Mitch Cam Payne Kolek...Its gonna be a fun team, so much balance on this Knicks squad. Cant wait for opening night. I pray everyone stays healthy
What about Sims and Dadiet? You mention Mitch who is injured and is being shopped around who will probably never be seen in a Knick uniform ever again. What about Obi Toppin, McCullar and Hukaporti. Possibilities-Nnaji, TJ Warren and Okeke
I get the sentiment… but he was on a team that made a conference finals in a tougher conference…. As much as I’m rooting for both teams, especially my hometown Wolves… the Knicks haven’t been to a conference final since Clinton was in office. I do think the Knicks will win the East.. but I think Towns will be fine
@@brandongordon2392 I think he's either gonna have to toughen up or talk less. Nobody wants to hear him complain (he was good at that in Minn.). Too many guys on this Knicks team who are smaller yet tougher than KAT so he gonna have to stop meowing and start clawing if he wants to make a spot for himself.
This was a backwards trade for the Knicks idc what anyone says, Julius Randle is better than KAT and is more consistent than KAT. Furthermore I don’t even think the Wolves even need Randle, just still a dumb trade all around, but I think the Wolves got the better end of the stick with Divincenzo and Randle 💯
Golden State Warriors missed out on trying to do a Kat trade with the T.Wolves. Could've tried to do a 3 Team trade and trade away (Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moody, 1st Round Draft Pick to 3rd Team), 3rd Team trades away an All-Star on an Expiring contract (2025) to the T.Wolves. To see a Steph Curry & Kat Combo would've been 🔥to see.
Knicks want to win now, they’re into winning a Championship. They are not waiting on seeing if Randle would be that complimentary piece to take them to the finals and allow Brunson to produce as he did without him there. Hated to lose Donte but I don’t know if they deal would have worked without him being included.
The Fact Is The NBA Is A Business And So Are All Sports Franchises And Winning Is Everything. Glad To See The Knicks On The Right Side Of The Equation But Chemistry Must Be Harvested And Exploited Before Winning Anything That Matters Happens.
Clearly the Nets are tanking. $220mil over the next 4 seasons is not the type of contract you want on your books when you're trying to draft talent for the future. Also, for a tanking/rebuilding team with that kind of contract you expect mentorship, a guy who's willing to pass on his knowledge and wisdom from his experiences to the younger guys. What's KAT gonna do, tell Cam Thomas how to score? Dude is not the leader type.
Randle was there when Kobe said "S*ft like Ch*rm*n..." He wasn't talking to Randle, fasho would be referring to KAT tho. He's soft, NY wont tolerate such weakness.
Wow I am impressed with what KAT did there at the end. He's a great guy for going out of his way even though he had a thousand other things going on just to make the day of those kids. That is awesome.
The recent signings of TJ Warren and Chuma Okeke help a bit with front court depth, but outside of that, this team is stacked in every other way. Even then, they've got a title window of 4 years at minimum with this core. Even if it's not this year, it can certainly be in the years that follow.
Weird seeing him in Knicks attire.. Thanks for those 9/10 years Kat you forever loved in MN up there with KG, Kirby Puckett, Tori Hunter, Joe Mauer, Randy Moss, Chris Carter, & Cullpepper One of the only athletes to ever stay loyal to MN even during the bad times Kat always shot down rumors saying no I wanna win here in Minnesota. KAT was the first piece that turned around this team
I mean only a completely biased casual fan who doesn't understand basketball would say you can't make a case that they are the best starting 5. It's debatable. To act like it's not is pure stupidity
Couldn’t stand when Julius threw close games for us because he’d complain to the refs and not get back on defense but your 5 years of service to the Knicks changed our trajectory so thank you for your service
I like the KAT/RANDLE trade more for the Knicks than I do for the Timberwolves. Minnesota gets better Defensively but get worse on Offense. Randle is no Kat on Offense. You trade away Towns for a guy who makes you worse on Offense. Having Gobert & Randle on the same team in the same starting lineup in redundant. Two Big Men who are more Defense than Offense. Wolves are going to have to trade Julius again for a different Big Man who can give you the Offense that Kat was giving you last season.
The Knicks talk is dumb af everyone was saying they had too much guys and it will be hard to find minutes now they trade Donte and now they saying they have no depth lol
As much as I would love to see KAT go off and win an MVP, this is Brunsons team. KAT needs to be a reliable #2. Knicks definitely have a chance to win it all. Would like them to grab one more piece for bench depth. They are extremely thin on forwards
They got bridges and hart one guy who never misses games and another who plays 48 minutes every game, mcbride, cam payne, precious, shamet, kolek, and sims seems like a decent bench not as good as last season. For me I think the x-factor is robinson and how many games he plays this season
KAT actually had great stats coming into the league. From 2016-2017 to 2021-2022, he averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, and about 3 assists. It wasn't until 2022 where he started to fall out partly due to injuries. As far as impact, I think he dropped the ball in the playoffs. He just disappears.
Dear Bobby Marks, I know you're an NBA Mastermind but you're worried about the Knicks' depth at approx. 2:13 mark but if/when Mitchell Robinson returns then their depth-issue vanishes, correct?
Tibs does not run anyone into the ground … anyone who says that either doesnt want to win or doesnt like to play defense… it has already been stated by knicks players that they view more films than on court practice, leave the rose injury excuse in the past already
KAT is 7 feet tall and he shoots the ball better than Donte at all three levels. Yeah losing Dante hurts our depth for a year, but it’s better than trading Randale at the deadline and messing up the teams chemistry halfway through the year or losing him for absolutely nothing at the end of the season.
The KAT disrespect is absolutely absurd. The guy is literally better than Dirk by almost every metric yet he’s an 88 in 2K and people keep saying that he’s not a superstar.
@@TheTwinkiefoot So? Talent wise it would get them to the next level..They could make the salary cap work. The acquisitions from NY isn't enough kid stop it.. from competing in the West? You're a 🤡
They lost their #2 scoring threat. They did not get better. Randle will not replace Kat's numbers. You know, I forgot during the off-season how much fake news the nba toss around.
2 words, Naz Reid. He will replace KAT's production. If you say otherwise then I'm inclined to believe you have no idea what you're talking about. KAT was the guy to fill the #2 option role, doesn't mean there aren't players out there who could contribute to the team more in that role, or who are a better fit next to Edwards, Gobert & McDaniels. Randle at his best was better than KAT has ever been, when did KAT ever get MVP consideration for leading an underperforming team to the Playoffs?
@@09lowkey ha, I love Naz and I hope he does but that's to be determined. And we're not talking about Randle at his best, we're talking about post major injury randle who likes to shoot more than he post and that's why spacing is such a topic with him cuz if he's downlow, Gobert can't maneuver. If he's on the wing he's likely a liability. If he comes in focusing on Defense & rebounding and filling in as a 3rd scoring option, that's his best bet.
Can't wait for NBA season
I love the time of year when we have all three major sports playing

That story at the end got me tearing up. KAT is a real one and I'm excited for him to come to NY
Weird seeing him in Knicks attire..
Thanks for those 9/10 years Kat you forever loved in MN up there with KG, Kirby Puckett, Tori Hunter, Joe Mauer, Randy Moss, Chris Carter, & Cullpepper
One of the only athletes to ever stay loyal to MN even during the bad times Kat always shot down rumors saying no I wanna win here in Minnesota.
KAT was the first piece that turned around this team
Dang that KAT story just made me a fan for life. Big respect.
The Knicks are gonna be really interesting to watch this season. They might have the best starting unit AND the worst bench in the NBA.
I believe the Knicks will try to trade for Donte in January or another scoring threat
“Best starting 5” Bobby Marks clearly still bitter after trading the picks that became Tatum and Brown to the celtics 💀
Wasn’t that Bobby King?
Where is the Lie?
I mean only a completely biased casual fan who doesn't understand basketball would say you can't make a case that they are the best starting 5. It's debatable. To act like it's not is pure stupidity
@@JP-jd8wr they are not on the celtics tier it isnt a debate lol
@@Its3rick bobby marks was an assistant gm at the time for the nets
Bobby Marks: "Pacers over Celtics". No agenda 🤣
Perk- "on both ends". *scratches head
Where can we stream nba
Couldn’t stand when Julius threw close games for us because he’d complain to the refs and not get back on defense but your 5 years of service to the Knicks changed our trajectory so thank you for your service
He Knows The Offense’s He Runs Is A Def A Big Key!!
What’s crazy is with the Mitchell Robinson injury Dante DiVincenzo would’ve had started
I hit the like button, for Big Perk and my New York Knicks! 😤
I like the KAT/RANDLE trade more for the Knicks than I do for the Timberwolves. Minnesota gets better Defensively but get worse on Offense. Randle is no Kat on Offense. You trade away Towns for a guy who makes you worse on Offense. Having Gobert & Randle on the same team in the same starting lineup in redundant. Two Big Men who are more Defense than Offense. Wolves are going to have to trade Julius again for a different Big Man who can give you the Offense that Kat was giving you last season.
Randle you should’ve realized about winning when you had the blessing to play with mamba
They won the championship on my MyLeague and I wasn’t even controlling them
Unless Kolek or Shamet step up, we need another guard--preferrably a 2. But a 3 & D wing would work too.
The Knicks talk is dumb af everyone was saying they had too much guys and it will be hard to find minutes now they trade Donte and now they saying they have no depth lol
KAT can win a chip and MVP with NY😮
As much as I would love to see KAT go off and win an MVP, this is Brunsons team. KAT needs to be a reliable #2. Knicks definitely have a chance to win it all. Would like them to grab one more piece for bench depth. They are extremely thin on forwards
@@nathanaelgion2762bridges might need to be the 2nd option. He is entering his prime and needs to excel. Towns as 3rd option would be better
They got bridges and hart one guy who never misses games and another who plays 48 minutes every game, mcbride, cam payne, precious, shamet, kolek, and sims seems like a decent bench not as good as last season. For me I think the x-factor is robinson and how many games he plays this season
Glad perk said what he said about Julius
KAT actually had great stats coming into the league. From 2016-2017 to 2021-2022, he averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, and about 3 assists. It wasn't until 2022 where he started to fall out partly due to injuries. As far as impact, I think he dropped the ball in the playoffs. He just disappears.
Rudy like the paint is empty now guys, feed me the ball lol
Man the desrepect on OG. He can score and shoot. The only thing I have worries on is passing. There needs to be a passer on the team.
Im betting Achiuwa holds it down behind Kat until Robinson gets back.
We have some good players on this team with good heads on their shoulders.
Another season of ESPN with big deep breaths from Kendrick Perkins in the background
In all truthss, Windhurst- Brunson was developed by Dallas. He became a man in NY
Dear Bobby Marks, I know you're an NBA Mastermind but you're worried about the Knicks' depth at approx. 2:13 mark but if/when Mitchell Robinson returns then their depth-issue vanishes, correct?
With all the ESPN firings how is Malika still there
Media on Kat on the Wolves: Bad mouthing him non stop. Media on Kat on the Knicks: He's gonna lead us to a title, he's so awesome, blah, blah, blah..
Kind of a head scratching trade
Just gotta trust Leon Rose. Devo and Randle are tough players who will be missed for sure
KAT is KLASS…great mentor to do that for his fans
Tibs does not run anyone into the ground … anyone who says that either doesnt want to win or doesnt like to play defense… it has already been stated by knicks players that they view more films than on court practice, leave the rose injury excuse in the past already
Bring Back Towns to To Minnesota this is a Nightmare
This lady repeated what the man exactly said about his own kids, and I'm not sure why she did that. 😂
KAT is 7 feet tall and he shoots the ball better than Donte at all three levels. Yeah losing Dante hurts our depth for a year, but it’s better than trading Randale at the deadline and messing up the teams chemistry halfway through the year or losing him for absolutely nothing at the end of the season.
Hate that they traded Dante, you don't trade away players with that Heart. Anyway, let's hope it works for the best for everyone
The KAT disrespect is absolutely absurd. The guy is literally better than Dirk by almost every metric yet he’s an 88 in 2K and people keep saying that he’s not a superstar.
So nice of Rudy Gobert to make an appearance at the meet and greet 😂🎉Shouldve traded KAT for Jalen Green.. Wolves will be the #4 seed
That's a terrible idea, not even factoring in that their salaries don't come close to matching
@@TheTwinkiefoot So? Talent wise it would get them to the next level..They could make the salary cap work. The acquisitions from NY isn't enough kid stop it.. from competing in the West? You're a 🤡
Where’s Lowe’s
Say what you want about skill set but Julius randle and his production isn't different at all this trade doesn't do much
@ Brian Windhorts. The Knicks did not develop Brunson. Brunson already can Developed
Props to Kat for being A stand up dude 💪👊
Kat that’s amazing. I’m rooting for you this year man!
Between Match 20--60!! A. Crazy!!!
Still fcking miss Zack Lowe! ❤
The New York Knicks will be in the playoffs and the play in tournament and the playoffs this season 🤩👍😎
Sign fultz let him be 🔥 off the bench
i guess everyone forgot about KAT and his issues on court. He won’t handle the spotlight if NY well at all
The last 3pt center to win is Rasheed Wallace so I with this trade we winning
Noo Way!!! Bridges is Back?!! His Old Teammates. With Cam Payne..... easier work done made a duo team. Possibly couple other teammates.
Hate to see Divincenzo go, but KAT's home baby!
They lost their #2 scoring threat. They did not get better. Randle will not replace Kat's numbers. You know, I forgot during the off-season how much fake news the nba toss around.
2 words, Naz Reid. He will replace KAT's production. If you say otherwise then I'm inclined to believe you have no idea what you're talking about. KAT was the guy to fill the #2 option role, doesn't mean there aren't players out there who could contribute to the team more in that role, or who are a better fit next to Edwards, Gobert & McDaniels. Randle at his best was better than KAT has ever been, when did KAT ever get MVP consideration for leading an underperforming team to the Playoffs?
@@09lowkey ha, I love Naz and I hope he does but that's to be determined. And we're not talking about Randle at his best, we're talking about post major injury randle who likes to shoot more than he post and that's why spacing is such a topic with him cuz if he's downlow, Gobert can't maneuver. If he's on the wing he's likely a liability. If he comes in focusing on Defense & rebounding and filling in as a 3rd scoring option, that's his best bet.
No depth for the Knicks? Casuals.
I bet his mom is so proud of him 😇
Someone might want to tell Windy that KAT is not a superstar he just an all star there is a difference
Super Lucky!!!! ANewby!!! OG was Shoot Guard. Watches Scottie Barnes Run the Field!!! OG Anunby!!! Pays Well To run the Field With BRunsen!!!
