Media needs to hold the brass accountable. The trade of Kat has so many ripples. I believe Ant has lost his love and belief in the organization. I dont blame him. Team traded away a loyal franchise superstar player who is a legit top 4 center in nba right after a wcf run. Ridiculous. The message that trade sends to Ant is we actually value money over winning and loyalty here, but we love you and want you to be our guy now. F that. Ant has not played with same fight like last yr. He misses Kat and has lost his love for MN. I don't blame him. He should demand a trade from this awful organization.
Here they go talking about the west teams we beat on back to backs. Defense sucks, offenses suck. Chris sucks, Randle sucks, Ant underwhelming.
Out rebounded by 20 and Rudy -37 in 22 min 3pts 4rbs. WTF??? Conly, Naz, Dillingham abysmal shooting. KAT homecoming with revenge intent. Of course Wolves "fans" and clown podcasters like this hater will blame Randle – the only guy that played well, 2nd unit got stomped in 2nd qtr!
From NY… Let's go Knicks. Good night.
At this point they need to do what the mavs did and make a splash mid season and get better somehow from that
Lmao i know Julius isnt great but ya have bricks for wings. Why should Julius kick it out so they can brick the shots
Knicks fan here. Don’t know why this appeared in my feed. A well balanced perspective from the two of them. Since I’m here, I might as well leave a comment and a like. That being said…
BIG BODEGA COOKED!
YOU MADE A MISTAKE!
THANK YOU FOR TRADING HIM TO US!
FREE DiVo!
Meet us at the top!
ANT has some obvious issues:
1) His conditioning – I think he is injured and playing through it to his demise
2) His diet – I think he eats like shit and its going to catch up to him unless he takes that part serious
It’s crazy how fast Minny fans have already seen to have turned on Randle I can’t believe how a player like Donte who had to one over achieve season can fool gms to think he had star level value
As a Knicks fan, my thoughts going into the night were about Ju and Divo, but the reception that Kat got and hearing a lot of the stories about how beloved he was in Minnesota took center stage. Gave me a better understanding of Kat the person and Minnesota basketball culture. Tough game tonight but will be rooting for the wolves as long as they aren't playing us. Hopefully Ju can get into the flow of the offense rather than relying on his iso game. Good luck this season.
A a Knicks fan I could have told you and think I have told you that Randle is a cancer to a team with his attitude. The sooner you get rid of him the better.
Thanks for the coverage. 🙏🙏🙏
Randle doesn't work for the Wolves, he gotta go.
One of the most pathetic performances in a long time.
should have got rid of jaden McDaniel's lmao
Let's stop calling finch the best coach in franchise history. What's his offense? There's no movement or cutting. Just 4 dudes standing around the 3pt line waiting to miss the shot
Knicks fan here I was upset with the Randle trade in the beginning but when you see KAT the person I remember all those times when Randle issues popped up in the past and I ignored because of his scoring and rebounding and when he gave the Knicks fans thumbs 👎🏿 so I think KAT is a really good player and person
Interesting tone from Borman, since he was so desperate to trade away Towns before the front office tanked the team and he got his wish.
We got fucking hosed by the Knicks and Taliban Tim is a shit head GM who will bounce next year anyways.
We traded the best big in the league right now for absolute bums. The only thing that gives me any solace is the New York foot ball teams, both of them will be dumpster fires for a long time.
Thanks for KAT!!! Enjoy the maddening Julius experience Wolves fans!!!
As a Savanah Bananas fan I feel sorry for the Timberwolves trading their best big man and having to settle for Gobert
How do we feel about randles body language?
Extended Rudy, traded KAT. Financial moves, not basketball moves.
Can't blame Julius when your other players can't shoot and Ant decided not to be aggressive. Plus your defense was horrible!
If Randle is traded who should MN try to go after?? Also this is the second time the wolves let 40 pts in a quarter, that alone u deserve to lose the game
As a knick fan, i was super excited we got rid of randle. He plays hero ball, and pouts when he doesn't get the ball
I waited so many years for the Knicks to get rid of Randle. Now Minnesota knows why
Lets go Knicks!
Gobert was -37, he is terrible terrible terrible.
Idk how ya let ny swindle ya…. randle has always been doodoo juice… idk why they did Antman like that….
I feel like the wolves intentionally ruined AntMan Career… why would you trade Kat? ESPECIALLY FOR THAT BUM RANDLE?
According to Mackey and Judd there are only positives from the trade. Skor North is drinking some haterade
