Definitely going to need a last year mavs trade in order to salvage the season😂
Lol
If you think randle is awful now, wait until the playoffs.
Would you guys take bi Ik he isn’t looked at like that but I promise he is 10x better then rj
JR'S basketball IQ has a 2 seconds delay
You also have to add, one of our best players Ant it's not as slender or athletic compared to when he first join the Timberwolves.
Think about trading him also.
I've known they needed to trade Randle 2 weeks in. Nothing has changed.
We'd be better if we straight up cut Randle and got nothing in return. The problem is we're in the 2nd apron and can't just salary dump based on the new rules. I just can't see another team even wanting him let alone trading something of 'equal' value for him. We might be fucked.
The Timberwolves need rocket Rx 🤣 🤣 🤣
This was Thibs and Kat revenge. Thibs made Julius all nba. He’s not that without him. Thibs has unlocked The Big Purr and turned him into the Big Bodega Kat
KAT isn't mad at all. He was traded to his hometown. If anything, he's happy with the Wolves for trading him to NY
Tim Connelly ruined this franchise when he traded away KAT, WTF was the Gobert trade for if not to win now? It WON'T be later as Gobert gets old af and they have no draft picks. Stupid move, stupid management. I'm sick of this team, sick of ownership, sick of management, and sick of stupid fans who eat up the slop.
Thank you, (Minnesota) for KAT. He's been a great improvement to the team. He's actually our current MVP.
The fact that there is a convo about Julius Randle after the loss is why the Wolves will continue to be a C level organization.
The combination of Criss Finch and j Randle is a complete disaster!!!!!!!! No way you compete with those 2 .The NBA is always changing and both of those guys are way way behind …Trade Randle immediately and fire Finch !!! They are ruining this team
Your best player didn’t show up last night 🛑,where was Anthony Edward’s last night? Lmfaoooo
If you want to trade Randle good luck. Knicks tried to trade him since the Hawks series 2021. KAT was a lucky accident. You can trade him for Kuzma or Ingram, it’s always my for your problem.
Randle is the definition of an empty stats guy. He gets meaningless points, doesn't play defense, and doesn't pass the ball. Tim ruined this team's future.
This is what us Knicks fans went through with Randle. He soaks when things don't go his way and plays selfish most times. Keep a good eye on his game, and you will see most of his assist only come because he has nowhere to go with the ball, and at the last second, he kicks it out to a teammate after his move was already made trying to score. I thank him for his services, but WOW….How did the Wolves let Kat go? I never paid attention to his game. I know one thing thus far watching him with the Knicks. This dude is FAR from soft. Probably is the best shooting big man I've ever seen and is fluid getting to the rim. Thank you, Wolves.
Not gonna lie when the trade happened with kat and Randel I was excited because I knew Randel is no where near as talented as kat .
It’s always Julius fault. ANT was ass yesterday
No surprise to Knicks fans whatsoever, Randle will drive you guys crazy, he will have some big games and may even win you a few. It in the end he will drive you absolutely mad
The entire reason Rudy started guarding Kat was because they took Precious out of the game and installed Duece. There is no where to hide defensively in that scenario.
As life long knick fan brother, Wolves a BIG mistake with randle. He’s not a winning player, makes alot of mental mistake.
At this point hind sight says we should have ran it back with KAT especially on well KAT is doing—-He and Edward’s were and had become a great 1-2 combo —even when KAT wasn’t scoring at his best his presence opened offense to Edward’s and others —KAT started playing good to great defense —-He was a big part of the identity, Now what is it? One superstar usually is not enough to a Chip -Wolves got to semifinals so hindsight to date says we should have ran it back with KAT
Yikes that was a mess
As a knicks fan thank yall for taking Randle. Dude had his moments with us but is so emotionally immature and lazy on defense. Probably one of the most selfish players I’ve had to watch.
Knicks fan here. I come in peace ✌🏿. Randle is a gifted player, but he’ll always consider himself the 1a and 1b on every team. Now you know what we went through.
As a Knicks fan, this is what Ju does. He will mope. He will take possessions off. You will question his hustle and his effort all the time. When it’s good, he’s a VERY good player. When it’s bad he checks out
