Knicks fans you are getting an all time 1st ballot hall of fame human being. Great dude who cares deeply for the community. His off the court impact and locker room presence won't show up in the stat sheet but he will be huge there.

[@thomascrowniii1693]

That's a nice sentiment but it has absolutely nothing to do with the only thing that matters -- winning a title. The league has a long history of good guys who didn't get the job done.

Knicks might field that lineup for bigger teams. They should keep Robinson for lineup matchup flexibility.

[@killakam5981]

@@STR1NGB34N1 KAT has always been a center, he's just a talented shooter. Timberwolves put him in that situation because they tried to replicate what Houston did with Hakeem and Ralph. KAT needs to have that dog in him and dominate as a big man because there's competition in the east to where KAT is going to have to make a statement. Its not about getting with the times, it's about his playstyle. Robinson is getting traded and KAT needs to grabbing boards

All his family and friends back home, the fans that supported him through his injury .. i think it’s gonna be a rough start for him emotionally … he needs a great to mate to embrace him there

[@SirWafflees]

Even if NY media has loosened up a bit, this is a championship contender. Expectations are huge. This is a huge difference going from MInnesota media to New York, I just hope KAT can handle it.

[@WarrenFranceSportsNetwork]

Literally grew up a Knicks fan. If you don’t think he knows what time it is you’re insane: and Knicks shouldn’t be expected to win this year. Nothing happens that quick, however they have 2 years window minimum. I think all the pieces fit and if healthy truly believe they can compete with Celtics to go to finals

[@ericcortez5328]

I read lips, he said “I’m big man, I put small ball into big hoop. Knicks, very good to be here. Happy happy”

[@DCGuruX]

Towns is a stand up dude and he's been through some things that would have made most people probably fold. I hope Knicks fans aren't to hard on him. I think this squad is going to make some noise.

[@pg13pacernation30]

THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES ARE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE BY TRADING KARL ANTHONY-TOWNS. The starting 5 is undeniably worse without KAT. This was a a top-five starting unit in the league, were the best defensive team in the Association for long periods, and were on the doorstep of the number one seed in the Conference. When replacing KAT with Naz Reid or Julius Randle in the starting lineup, it’s a clear downgrade in talent and star power. One could make a case for improved depth with the addition of Donte Divencenzo in the deal and the sweetener of the draft pick, but usually when you lose the star in the trade it’s not a good sign - and this is certainly a net negative in that respect.

[@LynREACTED]

this can either go really really good, leading katt into being a solid top 5 player in the league, or really really really bad

[@lyrikalinyoswiminpoo]

I guess Minnesota believes they have enough coverage in the post with Gobert. They believe more wing and perimeter play will help Anthony Edwards. They must really believe in Ant!

[@TheBlackSands]

The knicks love him more then the t wolves do and he will reward them with a title just like the big ticket kevin garnettt did for the celtics ,this is his destiny whether he likes it or not .
