I love Randall and Divo, they are built for NY
KAT is a superstar.... If he will be tough and can handle NY
Thoughts?

Love the trade for both sides.
Knicks success will depend on if OG and Hart can knock down outside shots. For me that is the weakness of the starting 5.
First two off the bench. Div will be missed off the bench. We need a shooter so hopefully at some point.

‘MOVE THE NEEDLE’ - Check
TRANSFORMATIVE’ - Check
‘Was one of the only players I would trade KP FOR (didn’t exactly work out that way, but ok) - Check
Now the Chemistry around him is the issue. Whose team is it??
What I see right now is,
Who is going to be the PF on the side of KAT?
The offense must change to maximize KAT!!
Now useless you NOVA people think otherwise.
**Brunson must GO!! He doesn’t fit in an offensive with KAT unless he changes his game.
Remember they changed the offensive scheme for Brunson 150 million contract but could have saved that money if they just changed the offense before trading for him.
So now will there be a power struggle between KAT and Brunson??
This trade has the earmarks of ‘Knowledgeable BB personnel in the organization. If you remember I have spoken about them after the OG trade. If so then let hope they get rid of the NOVA KNICK. If you kept Hart that would be fine with me.

Big mistake.
I'm wondering & wondering on the trio lineup of KAT, Precious, and OG?
Towns is soft and overpaid. Also, Towns routinely gets smashed by Embiid/Jokic/Giannis/and Adebayo.
I'd rather have Julius Randle's bully-ball in the paint than a soft dude who prefers to take threes. Finally, we gave them twice the talent they gave us (Randle/Donte/Detroit 1st rounder) too much.
I see no wins against the Randle & Ant-Man Wolves in the upcoming season.

Dark I like your optimism.
Randell vanished in the playoffs when teams hit him with a defensive scheme. He did not have the ability to adjust.
That leads me to Brunson. He is a win first player and I do see the offense flowing any way it needs to win the game.
Dark remember. Brunson has done nothing wrong. He did what was asked if him.
Now let’s see if he can it with towns in the line up.
When Robinson is back.
Brunson
Bridges
OG
Towns
Robinson.
Hart
Precious

Towns indeed gets a serious paycheck but is he really as soft as people think he is? I'm not sold on that just yet. I really wished i could have seen this team play with the roster they just had, with a healthy Randle but i also believe that at the end of the day, KAT can bring more. I also felt a bit weird hearing about DiVincenzo but apparently he wasn't happy taking a smaller role and could care less about the Nova Knicks so if this worked out better for him, can't say nothing but thank you for the wonderful memories and good luck! Same for Randle, he arrived during shitty times, instantly becoming an unforeseen hero that put us back on the map.

I love Randall, he did great things for us and gave his all. It is hard to do that in NY. But i still think KAT is the perfect fit. We have elite guard, elite defence, very good shooting.... The only missing piece is a great centre and that is KAT. I like Robinson, but he is always injured, I hope he is healthy this year.
Imagine the offence of Brunson, Bridges, OG and KAT.... Teams will struggle against us of defence.
I just want KAT to play with heart and determination like Randall did.
$50M per the next 4 seasons ???
For a player (KAT) the league and fans been calling soft the past 3 seasons.
And I thought trading players with a 8-45 record Detroit Piston team in February was crazy!
I was always fair with Randle's flawed performance improving each season.
I still don't like Randle's dribble-dribble me-me role in the rotation.
As a Knicks Randle's talent/skills improve to become one of the top 4 Bully-Ball scorers in a half court offense the past 4 seasons as a Knicks (Butler, Tatum, Leonard, and Randle are the top bully-ball scorers).
Randle was able to draw the double-team the closer he got to the paint, with or without the ball.
We missed that from Randle in the midseason games.
The Knicks Randle & Barrett duo have turned into the Timberwolves Randle & Ant-Man duo.
KATS handle is not as good as Randle, plus KAT's not and ISO player, which makes this reunion Round # 2 of KAT vs Tibbs.
Team Chemistry wins postseason games. The best chemistry players are develop from seasons of players playing together. The Knicks are looking for a CHIP this season from their top 6 players.
Brunson .. 2 yr
Mikal .. New
OG .. New
KAT .. New
Precious .. 1 yr
Josh Hart .. 2 yr

Not saying good or bad.
One has to assume Thibs wanted bridges and towns.
We shall see how this team fits.
We will either be a contender or back to the drawing board. Will be exciting to see.

Question - Who would you rather have at Shooting Guard…… Bridges or Murray right now with the addition of KAT??
I like Murray, but throughout Mikal Bridges rookie contract he been tutored by Chris Paul to play at the 2 and 3 spot
Mikal's consistency, and creative handle are the only logical player to replace Randle's scoring.
I'm hoping Deuce McBride & Kolec become our back-court guards off the bench for the 2nd unit.
We may have a problem having a small-ball head coach Tibbs that refuse to put KAT and Taj Gibson in a lineup for two seasons in Minnesota.
Tibbs will put OG & 6.4 Josh Hart at the 4 spot a lot in the upcoming season.
When KAT will need to be in lineups alongside Mitch, or Jericho, or Precious.

Hopefully we have an ELITE stretch 4/5 in KAT. I like the trade. Acquired a big star without mortgaging the future. I’m excited for the season!

If your dumb Butt knew anything about BB you would have known the moment KP was trade we needed someone like KAT.

Wsup Dark .. kool down .. the regular season didn't start.
We got some interesting winning players coming to the Knicks training-camp .. we can't wait to see.
We have a short tenor of Knicks players showing up for training-camp, plus all eyes will be on the new 4 yr $50/60M per player.
Deuce & Jericho will be the oldest Knicks players (3 seasons) showing up to training camp.
Mitch is still in a stroke of shock injury of being on the Knicks for 6 straight seasons, and won't make it to training-camp.
Dark, I would like your prediction on the Knicks regular-season record? After the pre-season games.
I predict a 48 win Knicks season for having (Eight) veteran-players in game rotation for the upcoming season.

Knicks next move should be to get rid of Robinson. This guy will never be healthy for a full season.
Move Robinson and a !st rounder and pick up a veteran center and shooter,,,,,,
Dark make that move.

Hey Ski and Dragon,
To answer your question Ski about MRob. Yes, I would trade him because the Knicks never developed him. It horrible that the Knicks did nothing to improve his overall talent.
Now to the both of you, I tried to explain what it was to have a sponsor in the Front Office. Julius Randle is a last example of nightmare Pipe Dream of Scott Perry, Steve Mill and Craig Robinson. Maybe you guys see how it is when all of your sponsor are gone. We(maybe just me) suffer for 6 years because of their incompetence. As you can see Scott Perry was the last sponsor for all of players they assemble for this nightmare is gone. Randle being the last player. Nobody believed in their non-sense especially people that are BB knowledgeable once they were gone.
Frank, Knox and KP the backbone of what should have been championship had no chance for success. The above 3(Perry, Mills and Robinson) made sure that nothing would come of them. Trading KP was a huge mistake that freed him to win a championship. In todays NBA it not about how talented a player is but who has a mortgage on you. It not about team it about can this player makes me look good as an executive,

Who had a vest interest in both?? Tell me who in the Knicks organization?? Tell me who in the Mav, Hornets(Frank), Piston, Blazers(Knox??
The Knicks kept sorry RJ Barrett in the lineup for five years. Who couldn't depend my dead Grandmother. But you find not fault!!
Per You, We( knicks and Me) need to get rid of MRob.... Because he can't stay health... Well that has alot to do with offense scheme ran for him... wait a minute there were no offense scheme ran for him and he never develop a jumper.
AND YOU FIND NO FAULT!!! SERIOUSLY
