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?

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

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

[YaBoyyJohnNBA]

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

[yukikimura]

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.

[calebschmidt]

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

[Godmode_ON]

KAT will help the Knicks match up better with the Celtics. They get a player who can contest Porzingis's threes and post ups because of his height, while maintaining their 5-out offense.

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

[goat]

I think the wolves should try to move randle for fit reasons especially

[acephalos]

As a Knick fan it feels more like a stalemate as far as getting better or worse because Randle averages 24 and 9 and divo was 3rd in 3s last year at a high percentage and a good defender. Kat skill wise is the most talented player here but we sacrificed depth, chemistry and some defense and toughness for a max 220mil player who has more playoff games with fewer than 20 pts than he has playoff games with 20 or more and he’s a supposed to be a scorer.

We’ll see tho 🤷🏽‍♂️

You never know Minnesota might trade Randle for more pieces.

[JCforever]

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

[kgtd]

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.

[RurouniLeonardo]

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

The Villanova Knicks ended before they could ever start

[YaBoyyJohnNBA]

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

[tsu-u]

New York gonna be mad at KAT about nothing too.

[PapaRoach]

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.

[idle.michael]

Dom still has the best basketball content on Youtube 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

[gojo-kun]

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