The move they made in the offseason that continues to be overlooked is how valuable the resigning of OG was for them. Dudes a stud

[@SayMy_User_Name]

Bro every move they’ve made since the Brunson signing has been money .. well aside from the bogey burks trade but even that helped them get bridges .. so yeah the front office has more wins in the last 3-4 seasons than it had in my entire lifetime prior lol

It wasn't the Knicks, the Wolves wanted to get rid of KAT's contract so they don't get hit by the 2nd apron

[@lowghan]

@@s.scottsdale1839 Right because a loss in the WCF is so terrible. KAT was a valuable player to the timberwolves and he's only gotten better since being traded to the knicks, lets see how much better the timberwolves do in the playoffs this year tho right? since they're sitting at 11th in their conference at 14-14 despite being 22-6 at this time last year

[@jtw6281]

Initially I was pissed off at the trade. I thought Randle deserved to see how he plays with this group. But after experiencing Kat's game and his personality, Kat is definitely a better fit for this team and a better player overall

[@RomanticCancel]

One of my close friends is a huge Wolves fan and hearing his feelings is soul crushing. The move felt like damage control for a really bad cost saving move. KAT being gone shows how much the magic of last season was in how well balanced the roster felt with players complimenting each other. I think that DiVincenzo's breakout performance wasn't a fluke and the system seems to not be accommodating to his play and he could potentially improve as the year goes on, but Wolves basketball went from feeling electrifying to a little deflating and trying to find a new rhythm when a huge centerpiece left. On a positive note, shoutouts to KAT tearing it up on his favorite childhood team. It seems that Wolves fans still love him to bits and he genuinely deserves all the flowers for being such a positive player for both organizations and his energy is so infectious. I really do feel so happy when KAT is thriving.

[@NeonWolves57]

[@Nationof300]

It all depends on the playoffs. And the thing is Randle will play better in the playoffs mainly because now he’s not seen as the number 1 option anymore. Meanwhile Kat is playing incredible for now but when playoff time comes around and he’s the main scoring option they’ll do even better about shutting him down

[@wdr1419]

Im even seeing people be positive about this when this trade dropped saying Randle and Towns are the same be fr 😂

[@AgentZ3R0.]

Respectfully, J. Randle ain't worth KAT, even if KAT sitting in his pocket...

[@minovictor]

I just didn’t see how trading for Randle would complement Ants game. Kat was never ball dominant and played his role perfectly alongside Ant. With Randle you’re getting a guy who will take defensive plays off every night. Then on offense he’s a guy who will look off a wide open Anthony Edwards so he can jab step 3 times and get into his iso. I don’t think Randle is a bad player but I never understood how pairing with Anthony Edwards would work with the offensive liability known as Rudy Gobert also on the court.

[@Chazzy2024]

In my opinion, the problem with KAT isn't the regular season, it's the playoff. But I think that the knicks have plenty of options for the nights when KAT doesn't show up (at least on offense).

[@stopidvideos]

He was good last playoffs outside the first 2 games of that Mavs series. Plus, not like they traded a guy in Randle who is known for playoff performances.

[@Denizos95]

If KAT can take over 2 or 3 playoffs games in a 7-games series, that's more than enough for the NY Knicks. They have many other playoffs shooting options with Brunson, Bridges, OG Anunoby, and even Deuce McBride. Not to mention Josh Hart who can do enough of everything in the playoffs.

[@yeisonolivo9880]

El problema de KAT es que se mete en faltas temprano y eso lo desconcentra, pero si el tipo no da tantas faltas, es un peligro en cualquier tramo de la temporada.

[@jlam6687]

The Wolves look mid af. The construction of the roster is forcing Ant to chuck 3s now. Everyone is playing worse than last season. And they can't tank because the only 1st round pick they own is 2028. Randle will have to be flipped for something, but I don't know what team really wants him when he's showing he's a black hole on offense and falls asleep on defense half the game. The Wolves will likely be stuck ind mid hell for a couple seasons and they just showed Ant they don't care about loyalty by trading away KAT.
