Sleep on Randle? He never showed up in the playoffs. We also played much better with out him in the lineup. We need a center and spacing KAT is a shooter rebounder and underrated rim protector and willingly falls back and understands when he’s not the number one option. Plus he played pretty good last playoffs. If Mitch ever gets healthy he can play the 4 as well
It's not always about who is a better player overall. When building a roster to play for a chip its all about who fits better. KAT and Brunson are a better fit than Randle and Brunson. And KAT will fit into the Knicks system better.
so Stephen A.. you saying if you're talking bad about someone after leaving their house...do you think you should be invited again? you can over but now you have to pay the price?
New York lost a whole Dawg 🐕 to get a cat🐈 …New York gone be too soft…Timberwolves definitely benefited gettin Julius…I think Julius and Ant gon mesh very well
Your dream come true is going to be a nightmare when you watch KAT night in and night out play stupid basketball, hooking defenders on his drives, getting offensive fouls, then throwing his hands in the air in disbelief that he's called for it. Or when you need a clutch playoff performance and the "best shooting big" in league history goes 0-8 from deep. You think he's playing the 5? Your team will be getting torched when Robinson isn't roaming the paint. I'll remind you despite being 7' tall KAT didn't block a single shot in the WCF. I've watched the guy for the last 9 years, the 60 point games in random regular season games (the last one they lost because he shot them out of the game) the disappearing act in the playoffs, and everything in-between. He's a hell of a talent. But he's a guy who doesn't get it. He has lackluster defense, and isn't a great rebounder. He gets boards because he's tall and they fall in his lap. You're going to be amazed by his performances from time to time but you're going to be perplexed and frustrated more often. The Wolves absolutely had to shed his super max contract. And the Knicks were seemingly the only team willing to take it on. Giving up Randle who does everything better except 3 pt shooting, and Divo who is one of the better two way players in the league is such a massive win for the Wolves, even if you agree they gave up the most talented player. KAT's been plenty injured the last few seasons, so if your big knock was Randle being injury prone, it's not like Towns is a beacon of impeccable health. Just shedding this contract at all was going to be hard and the Wolves absolutely had to do it.
So I’m strictly talking as a Sixers fan this trade helps the Sixers in matchups. They had a big advantage with Julius at the 4. Dante was one of the best 6th man.
So many dumb comments about one of the 2 players being playoff chokers or injury prone when that’s true for both players. A first and Donte is a lot of value for a pretty parallel move. The Wolves lacked offensive creation last season. Randle creates, KAT finishes. Yes we lost shooting but we have Naz who is very KAT like. And can shoot 40% from 3
@KlikQuot Yeah I wouldn't say horrible but I just hope he doesn't get injured because he typically does & we gave up two great players & one all star which is tough
SAS that’s not what freedom of speech or press means. You losing your free tickets at the garden is a consequence of what you say about a private business, you did not get jailed for what you said.
Ty Lue can't coach.hes just like DOC RIVERS every season they gets a star studded team and what they do with it.lebron robbed David blat a ring and gave it to ty Lue and because of that y'all think he's the next coming of Phil Jackson ty Lue is not that GOOD my brother.and you can stop calling urself a Knicks fan because you not you said but show it as well my bro 💯💯
Calm down, its not that serious. Plus, its highly dependent on the roster and the system they are coaching. It's never as simple as who is better, there is tons of nuance if you actually care about being honest about it.
Freedom of Press is damn right but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna get freedom to access the arena….. if that’s how NY operates that’s how they operate 🤷🏽♂️
This is a terrible trade by the Knicks, they did not do their homework, I'm sorry for them because I grew up a fan, I'm a Wolves' fan though because I'm from Minnesota, the Knicks are going to find out they're a day late and a dollar short with Towns...
Not so much upset with Randle out we really dont know how his shoulder is going to hold up during the season buttt on the flip side we gave up our best 3 point shooter i will miss my boy Donte
Townsend is a beast people slept on him and is the east not too many bigs can guard him plus with Brunson ams hart guards like that it opens his game more. Divincezo gone not too good though but its cap space they cant afford all of them plus divincenzo. But overall good Randle is a bit banged up.
Good trade for T-Wolves…bad for Knicks…Jalen recovering from broken hand and development of chemistry will slow this team down….and they got rid of Donte…their best shooter. As usual..Knicks never let anything develop after success because of the need to blow it up due to having no patience. They will always suck untill they learn properly to develop and establish morale. 🔥🥃
I'm sorry but the Knicks got robbed. Karl Anthony Towns is not a superstar. He's not even an all star. Yet the team gave up an all star, a 3 point shooter and a first round draft pick to get him. Are they serious? And no...Stephen A. Smith is wrong. Randle is an all star level player which is basically a 2nd option. He's far better than KAT. Randle can: rebound at a high rate, give good assists, cut to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run, finish on ally oops, finish on pick n' rolls, do wizard spins in the mid-range to get a shot off over defenders, post up, shoot some 3s and get out in transition. The only thing that KAT can do better is shoot 3 pointers. Minnesota won this trade by a mile. Randle can give assists to other guys, finish around the rim off passes from Mike Conley & is good at drawing fouls. The Knicks also gave up Donte DiVincenzo who will spread the floor with his 3 pointers, can defend and can drive to the rim. The Knicks picked up KAT for some reason. There was no need to do so. They could've gone out and gotten a cheaper option at a center such as: Clint Capela, Jakob Poeltl, DeAndre Ayton, Nic Claxton or Jalen Duren. The Knicks could have even gone after Wendell Carter who can shoot 3s, rebound, score and defend. Now the team has no depth and Thibs is going to run the starters into the ground. Also the team only has one all star. New York gave Minnesota an early Christmas gift plus a bonus.
Who cares what the ownership does in New York SAS stop talking. the knicks haven’t won since the mid 70s and I’m pretty sure the Knicks have had different ownership since then the Knicks aren’t gonna win anything this year either
Carl Anthony towns top to bottom has not only has equal if not better numbers than Anthony davis, as well as if you've ever taken a look at both of these players matched up against each other competing against one another you'll see c ARLAnthony towns is holding his own
Call Anthony towns by far is measured up with guys like Anthony Davis if you look at their stats and if You observe and examine the play that when those two match up against each other you will see that call Anthony towns always get the better of Anthony Davis now you check those archives and you check that data
OLD STEVEN A FOOTAGE, AS FOR KNICKS, U MADE A HUGE MISTAKE MAKING THIS MOVE, WE WERE STACKED AND U TRADED THE BEST SHOOTER OUTSIDE OF CURRY , DANTE IS HEADING IN HIS PRIME U HAD A SWEETHEART DEAL WITH HIM AND 7 GAVE HIM AWAY WE HAD ANOTHER 2 YEARS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NY ????? THERE WERE OTHER WAYS TO GET THIS DONE
I’m pissed Donte is gone, I like the trade but not Donte
He’s basically Matthew dellavedova
Agree
They both needed to because they made more costly mistakes then they did to contribute
@@tomek6132no disrespect to dellavadova but he never shot 40% for a reason.
he didn't like this reduced role and the front office wanted to give McBride playing time cause of his D. This move makes sense.
Nah bro you don’t get to trash and bash our team and beg for free tickets when we good FOH!
That clip is from last year lol.
Like he said, a democracy and freedom. they also have the freedom not to give you free tickets!
SAS is so entitled, detached and insufferable.
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Because the kicks treat media worse than any other franchise?
Towns is a great pick up and Randle was a beast and Donte was a terrific role player.
I can't believe they let Donte go!
Kat scored 62 points in a game 10-15 from 3. I’m no numbers guy but that’s not hard to believe

lmfaoooo
and yet you two bafoons are here listening and watching him 😂
@@investorbro21 it was huge trade i listened to many sources this morning rest assured I will go back to ignoring that loud mouth moron
A center that shoots more threes than Brunson and Divicenzo.. 🤦♂️🤣🤦♂️
Thibs is a great coach and exactly what New York needed
Only a rich man would call this a "democracy".
They sleep on randle new york gave up too much towns not to much better than randle. Julius gone kill with ant
In the regular season and disappear in the playoffs.

Yeah I'm seeing that now
Right rj been gone lol
so Stephen A.. you saying if you're talking bad about someone after leaving their house...do you think you should be invited again? you can over but now you have to pay the price?
The media talk bad about the knicks. So thats why they dont want the media in there.. respect that.
Big Kat welcome to my knicks !!!! LETS GO!!!
Patrick Ewing was a number 1 pick, a give me. They have not had another number one pick since
You don’t practice freedom on your show when you don’t like when someone disagrees with you. So one good turn deserves another.

My thoughts exactly. Well said.
I wish they would’ve rode out the first half of the season with what they had then if it didn’t work out make a move at trade deadline
KAT is a Great regular season pick up,in the playoffs he doesn’t always show up
And Randle does?
Knicks took a step back
That's all that randle did was take stepbacks @@carytrabue9521
Being at the GARDEN MSG will make KATT BETTER!! Watch!!! We smacking on everybody this year!!! NBA finals or bust!!!
His last performance average was 19 and 9 With gobert as primary rebounder and Anthony Edwards’s the 1st scoring option. Y’all be saying anything. 😂😂
So I’m strictly talking as a Sixers fan this trade helps the Sixers in matchups. They had a big advantage with Julius at the 4. Dante was one of the best 6th man.
This trade only works if KAT remembers he is 7feet tall not a guard or a spot shooter. Play center
Julis Randle is so slept on smh 🤦 Respectfully 💯

No it is not a democracy, it is a republic
This is what a championship team looks like leeeegggooooo randle is great but KAT gives us a better chance against Boston

Ty lue hasn’t made the clippers to finals
Randle slow the game too much always turn over the ball
And they fire on 2k Mitchel Kat Anunoby Mikal And brunson starting 5 😤🔥
Towns is so slow, mitch McConnell can guard Towns
Mitch McConnell and TJ McConnell > Karl Anthony Towns and Edolphus Towns in 2 on 2
Not Donte tho smh so sad, i wanted to see the Nova boys get a title at least
That hair line creeping further back every year.
Am I crazy or is there an Asian woman doing stuff after the video

Its Randle...

This Stephen A. video is from 2023.
To me it feels like both teams got worse after
KAT can't do ish but shoot bad 3s. He is going to take shots away from Brunson.
41% from the three pointers
you don't know ball. he is a way better screen setter than randle as well
Yeah bro there's no way you actually believe what your saying Kat is the best shooting big in nba history.
Not so much upset with Randle out we really dont know how his shoulder is going to hold up during the season buttt on the flip side we gave up our best 3 point shooter i will miss my boy Donte
T wolves to the NBA Championship ✅
Towns is a upgrade from randy
The Knick are a privately owned business. If they don’t want to invite your privilege behind silhouette

Townes woke up this morn. & thought: 😳oh wait- i gotta see Embiid how many times a year???😓
KAT has averaged 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 11 games against Embiid in his career.
I agree 100% with the Asian girl, although I wouldn’t have given up a number 1 pick
The NBA will never MAN UP TO TRANSGENDER LEBRON JAMES
WTF is the 2nd half of the video???
Nah the Knicks is so should of never gave up Dante Stephen Chenzo… I’m so pissed
This is old rj Barrett has been traded wtf
I said the same thing
