Karl Anthony-Towns Traded To The Knicks; The Timberwolves Have Chosen. 

The Timberwolves have made their decision. For the last year I've discussed the choice they would have to make given the price of the lineup, and last night they made it. What do you think?

Gotta feel for DiVincenzo. All the Nova boys get reunited then he gets shipped to Minnesota…

If im AE I'd be pissed. Randle is no KAT.

I really can't believe they traded the one guy that actually *wanted* to be in Minnesota. Bye-bye, Big Purr.

If im donte, im pissed. Them Nova boys was about be balling this year together and he got traded 💀

You're insanely skilled, don't stop making this type of content!

Randle should play the 6th man role. He simply doesn’t fit in the starting lineup.

Agreed Randle is definitely overhated imo, but he's not an easy guy at all to plug into a lineup especially with Gobert as his frontcourt teammate

The Knicks will realize sooner or later that they just traded for an oversized perimeter player that happens to play center but has guard aspirations. KAT drives to the paint a lot which could collapse the defense, but his finishing is legit terrible and he falls down a lot in the process which leads to easy fast break points for the opponents since he happens to be a big that's supposed to help in the paint on defense. He also for some reason cannot post up smaller players. If you want to shut KAT down, just put your 4 on him and he won't be able to outspeed them and outmuscle them. He's also a turnover machine on double teams and that's why he struggles so much in the playoffs. This was the right choice for MN, they offload KAT's contract and open up opportunities with Randle's expiring contract, get a team friendly deal in DiVIncenzo, and get a Detroit pick. Connelly will no doubt cook with all the flexibility they just opened up. Randle and KAT are probably just a wash both on offense and defense so considering that, I think the wolves did quite ok on this trade. Donte is the real prize of this trade and I can't be more happier.

KAT was their franchise player for many years. He never wanted out as he went through many terrible teams. It felt like he was gonna be a Timberwolves for life. He should have at least got a heads up that he was getting traded. At least they traded him to a contending team.

I never thought this day would come bro, always thought that KAT was gonna retire with the T-Wolves

There goes the Timberwolves chances at making the Finals.

I'm confused about this decision from the Knicks perspective 🤔

I think the Wolves did this because Randle’s contract is shorter so they can get rid of him easier.

Knicks vs. Celtics starting 5 matchups, who wins? PG: bruson vs. holiday SG: hart vs. white SF: brown vs. bridges PF: tatum vs. OG C: kristaps vs. kat

You dismissing the importance of Divincenzo to the Knicks hurts your credibility

Lol if you think Randles getting moved before the season, I'm sorry to tell ya brodie, but that aint happening. I really think they're gonna tey to make this work somehow. Maybe bringing 1 of them off the bench.... idfk

The Villanova Knicks ended before they could ever start

Domstradamus! I think NY wins this trade!

Knicks are top heavy. I give them props for what they did over the summer but they have 7 maybe 8 players that are going to contribute and with the way tibbs coaches, thats gone be down to 2 by the playoffs. So congrats but I'm not sold even a little. It takes a bench to win a chip.

This is good for NY, they just got to stay healthy for the post season and definitely could match against the Celtics

As a lifelong New York fan, im excited. I realistically think we are a couple pieces away, but we have the defense and a really good point guard. Add in good rotations and solid Bench scoring. We sound like legit Title contenders. Just saying that as a Knicks fan it's insane to think about. I think if we could add a bench player with grit someone like Jose Alvarado, we could legit win.

Bro whyy, new york is too big of a market for KAT, those lights are just too bright for him. Randle will fit nicely with Minnesota tho

Wolves are not flipping Randall. He's just an expiring contract so they don't have to pay so much luxury tax or stay in that second salary cap apron.

Everyone saying the knicks won this trade but I can see the wolves going further in the playoffs some how even if they don’t go to the finals

You dont think they could get more for kat then they could get for randle and first round pick ?

I think people are heavily overrating this new Knicks team

Timberwolves were supposed to trade KAT to clear up the logjam and get deeper and start Naz Reid. The only way they can justify this imo is if they package JMac and Naz for an elite defensive wing

Dom still has the best basketball content on RU-vid and i couldn’t wait to hear your thoughts. i’m honestly surprised people are low on both sides for this trade because i truly think it raises the ceiling for both sides, especially the knicks and their offense and versatility. sad to see randle go tho

This move for the Timberwolves is more so to expand their window instead of only having a few years left now they are more flexible with potential moves they can make and not in cap hell

The east boutta be stacked next year

It’s over for the Celtics

Miles is stepping up for NY

Noti type shiii

ATL gets: Mike Conley, Julius Randle, NAW, L. Miller, Pistons pick MIN gets: Trae Young MIN lineup: Trae Ant McDaniels Reid Gobert Bench (8-Man Rotation) = Dillingham, DiVincenzo, Shannon Jr.

Is KAT going to play D?

first

I'm sad

This is crazy that’s for sure, when I saw the news last night I was going crazy. I’m just very confused from the Timberwolves perspective because was KAT’s value really that low or is Randle’s value really that high? Or is it a mixture or am I missing this completely and the whole reason the Timberwolves did this trade was for Donte Divencenzo? I personally do not think Randle’s trade value is that high but I may be wrong. KAT is still an amazing piece, so I’m surprised the Timberwolves couldn’t get more for KAT. As Dom said I don’t think Randle will necessarily be a good fit on the Timberwolves but I may be wrong. And if I am right what could the Timberwolves do to upgrade and trade Randle? I personally don’t think Randle fits in today’s NBA he would be awesome in the 90s early 2000s. But where would Randle succeed in today’s NBA and be more than a rotation player for a contender? Because by how this trade looks the Timberwolves see Randle as more than a rotation player, but I don’t personally think his playstyle works in today’s NBA to be a key contributor to a successful team

A lot of people saying the Knicks lost the trade but Randle and Robinson are going to miss a big chunk of the regular season season losing Donte sucks but the Knicks viewed him as the 3rd best shooting guard after Mikal and deuce and they don’t like deuce as a backup pg which Tyler kolek will be day 1

the first round pick was too much

New York gonna be mad at KAT about nothing too.

In the Western Conference perspective, I think the only team that really benefits from this trade in the Thunder. The west is definitely wide open now and the season hasn't even started yet. The Thunder don't even have to get another first seed this season, they just have to be at minimum the 4th and they could still make the finals assuming nobody gets hurt.
