Karl Anthony Towns, Welcome to New York | Oddball w/ Amin Elhassan and Charlotte Wilder

The NBA preseason starts this week, but we have some big news in the NBA: Karl Anthony Towns is being traded to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. Will Towns buy into the Knicks' culture? Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart comment on their new teammate at media day... while Thibodeaux does not. And for the Timberwolves, does trading him away actually make the Timberwolves closer to a title? Amin argues it does. Before signing off, Amin and Charlotte pay tribute to Dikembe Mutombo who passed away this morning at 58.

Oddball on a Monday?!? Let’s goooo

[@SimonTom-pe5gn]

RIP dikembe

[@OG1323]

Naz Reid and the second apron made Karl disposable.

[@j.s.669]

Talk abt it.

[@mjmwise]

Hard to imagine KAT thriving with Thibs.

[@EssAhrBee]

Yeah, we've seen this movie before

[@kh2624]

I'm more worried about him in the garden

[@jj47k.]

Its hard to see him thrive under thibs but He had his best seasons under Thibs lol and so has Randle,brunson,divincenzo,Josh hart,hartenstein and many other players that he cosched.They wouldn't have traded for him if they felt it wouldn't work.

[@PlastervilleProductions]

he's gonna melt in the spotlight

[@macguffinite]

Brunson has never once stated or implied that he took the extension so he could play with his friends... this is a totally media spun narrative. At media day he literally said he's known the NBA is a tough business since he was a little kid. So weird how ppl are acting like he's 12 and got fucked over somehow.

[@MrTRIPent]

Its just lazy. spinning a narrative to fit your views

[@LaPeliNY]

NY loves KAT! Why only mention comments coming from haters. And no, Jalen was not pissed. They wouldn't run it by the captain before pulling the trigger. Been a knick fan for life n honestly speaking he's better than Ewing.

[@werkynprogres]

Out of all people Amin should know the truth . He did not take less money for his friends . He did not take less money in general . HE TOOK THE MAX HE WAS AVAILABLE TO GET THIS YEAR. Like wtf ?! .. how can ya complain about that then turn around and say “you can’t take the risk and play the deal out and hope you get the max in 2 years. Like the Knicks bias is crazy . Alllllll the time with talk out both sides of their mouths

[@fentanyljones6956]

NY will love those half court reach ins KAT will give you every night. 3 in the post season. 😂. The winners of this trade is the other top 4 teams in each conference.

[@MrTRIPent]

oh man, you guys talked alot about Donte being unhappy for those reports to be instantly refuted by the local beat.

[@LeBronSpurloxk]

Oddball is Back

[@dwaynelee1789]

Love the video. Amin always has interesting takes. KAT in the gym hopefully is a great sign of things to come!!!

[@thehoboman]

Wolves edge out the Knicks on this one but its still bad for both sides.. Wolves should have waited til the season got going

[@timadamson3378]

Um what? Last time I checked none of the Villanova players were the ones who traded Devincenzo.

[@battmyne]

Brunson took a paycut to WIN, not just to play with friends

[@Troll-vj6sy]

Naz Reid gave Jokic the most problems? lol Amin missed game 5

[@brickz001]

Him taking less money is how they got kat😂😂😂 he knew they was going for kat

[@mjmwise]

Charlotte, you can also take solace in the fact that Jru has been a great team guy since his earliest days in Philly.

[@katza831]

Amin still exists? I thought he retired before the lockdown

[@davidmurray2829]

Wooohooo! Mondays will never be the same!😂😂❤❤

[@Rick24.]

Like I needed more reasons to root against the knicks 🤣

[@brucybabyy7355]

dikembe larger than life. RIP.

[@fulltang1]

Condolences for kat having to deal with knicks fans lol

[@dakineprotoss]

i think that towns is going to make the knicks better, hes better than randle, significantly better shooter. Thibs also knows him so if he thought he was too soft he couldve said nah. Wish Divencenzo would have been able to stay a knick but Towns is worth it imo.

[@MaximusR93]

Two Americas. Two voices for KAT.

[@yaboythealien]

Salute to Charlotte Wilder 🍻

[@RetireFromHealthCare]

This is all cap Jesus

[@JoeyD_3636_]

Yo yo yo

[@definingmoments7]

"Kat might not look at brunson as the best player like he did with ANT" ok we're just making up insane shit now. Brunson literally had a better season than Ant and this is very clearly his team. What are these takes lol

[@Returned2Flourish]

This audio is hard to listen too

[@lowkeypopi]

Jalen had 6 straight 40 point playoff games...lol ya gotta stop with this ant is great but can't carry a team like jalen has. kat knows wassup

[@EssAhrBee]

.........huh?
