Randle/Naz
The good McDaniel Brother
Ant/DDV
Conley/Dillingham

Knicks
KAT/Robinson
OG/Precious
Bridges
Hart/McBride
Brunson

the T-Wolves got a lot better imho the Knicks broke up the roommates for a dude who is going to crumble under New York Media scrutiny at the first sign of weakness.

I actually think it works out for both teams. KAT won’t be asked to be a number one or 2 guy, they can split it up a bit between Brunson, Bridges and Towns. They have enough defense to make up for his shortcomings. I don’t know if the trade moves either team up a tier though. Interesting deal

I really like the trade for Minnesota. Randle and DDV are great fits for them. Plus a first rounder.

Im not a big fan of KAT but I see why the Knicks pursued him.

Bridges and OG aren’t reliable second scoring options. Both are prone to have HB like games offensively. This you get the other scorer and a starting Center though a considerably softer one than Hartenstein.

good move for the Wolves but the Knicks you done messed up here. waiting on your input here Slim. Wolves still need to move Gobert though

I absolutely despise this for Minny... which is great for us. Why would you absolutely demolish your spacing like this? Why would you demolish a rising Western conference power after a WCF berth? stupid stupid stupid.

Knicks on the other hand are just the favorites in the East now. Brunson/KAT surrounded by Hart/OG/Mikal is absolutely filthy. I love everything about how that 5 fits together. Although breaking up the Nova Knicks isn't that fun.

I don't love this for the Wolves at all. Randle is always hurt and they weren't necessarily itching for another 3 and D guy, though you can never have enough of that of course. Just seems like a strange choice to tinker with the chemistry they so clearly had

Yeah, the money explanation is the only thing that makes sense to me. From a basketball competitiveness PoV, I don't see this being the step you take to get out of the Western Conference Finals

The Wolves were the number one defense with just an ok offense. Randle is a better scorer than Kat and a better passer. He obviously doesn’t shoot as well but I’m sure Minny is banking on him being serviceable from 3 and he usually is. IMO he is a better number 2 scoring option than Kat.
