Lol dude!! This trade makes the wolves better in the long run for sure! I love this trade as a wolves fan.

[NattaNerNutta]

I honestly think one of the biggest potential red flags on the KAT/Knicks side of the deal is KAT’s personality vs the NY media and fanbase. He’s extremely emotional and just a “different” kinda dude. I’m interested to see how he’s going to react when he eventually gets pushback and roasted by the new locals. He’s the kind of player that thrives with positive reinforcement and “pats on the back”…and I’m not sure how he’ll take to a fanbase/media that is so quick to tear him down

[theycallmelo]

Another year, another Tim Connelly trade that the world and the fan base both question. So far every time TC has been on the money so until he is proven wrong, I have faith that he is making the right decision.

[iconoclast]

The Wolves will love Donte and a motivated Randle. Not sure how this impacts the minutes of Naz Reid

[dwrev]

Had a dream KAT got traded to the Knicks... Woke up I found out it really happened 🤔🏀

[WheresWaldo]

Harden to rockets. Dame to bucks. One of butler trades. One big trade right before or during camp happens every season.

[C_R_Z]

There’s no way this trade makes the wolves worse. Hide and watch

[part]

NY has dope team now, but bad at center.
Isaiah hart not around this season !!
C's have Superteam but Go 76ers, Bulls ...
Minn in the finals soon.. Randle solid player
gonna make lots of 3's in Minn also Donte

[stephenmoran]

Naz goes to starting. Donte takes Conley's spot by next season as a starter. Garza finally gets minutes. Randle gets traded or comes off the bench. Timberwolves got better. Have you forgotten how Towns disappears and complains to refs?

[RJLKMRD]

The most satisfying thing about this entire episode is seeing Ben Beecken slowly nod along as the episode comes to a close as he realizes what an amazing trade the Wolves just happened upon themselves..

[starroguex]

As a Knicks fan I feel so bad for the Twolves. Randle has never played well in the playoffs and Kat was so huge in beating Denver.

[nealbaker]

🎉It's the TWolves intention to trade Randle and that pick for an elite PG as early as possible prior to the trade deadline.
🎉Its interesting that you're not entertaining that likelihood.
The primary reason for trading UNTRUSTWORTHY TOWNS is because he's a postseason liability, unplayable in over 40% of his postseason games; and Towns is a low basketball IQ decision-maker liability; and Towns chronic brainless-level fouling; and Towns has made debilitating level enemies with the refs; and Towns body prevents him from playing enough henceforth; and Towns is of a loser character. Of courses Towns cripples the roster with his albatross contract!!!
🎉 No championship contender can absorb the above characteristics from a player on their roster unless he's benched.
🎉THANK GOD Knicks are so desperate that they took Towns!! 🎉NO TEAM WANTS TOWNS and TWolves won the lottery when they found some poor team to get him off their roster.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This trade is cause for great celebration for TWolves fans 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We should feel sorry for the Knicks. Watch Towns sabotage the Knicks postseason 😢😢

[adriftwoodking]

A bad trade made for non-basketball reasons, back to the old timberwolves basketball. This stinks of Glen Taylor, the worst owner in the history of sports.

[theaveragejuice]

Crazy thing is no one is saying how much KAT complains about calls and everyone is focus on KAT as a defender but wolves have a team of defenders knicks 1-3 do not

[RJLKMRD]

Ben, I just wanted to also mention that moving Towns now will give McDaniels the opportunity that he deserves, and you're not accounting for that in your analysis... Towns may have been unfortunately "a chilling effect" for McDaniels who is capable of scoring 15 to 20 points per game...

[RJLKMRD]

Materially, our ceiling and floor have gone up I can't understand your calculus,
