they could def go for paris texas status, they already have wemby and sidy cissoko (played mostly g league, but should probably get more time in the big club this year). theres not only sarr but risacher and tidjane salaun likely going in the lottery. i think risacher would be a great fit if he's as good a shooter as he seems, sarr im less convinced would work as a non-floor spreading big next to wemby.

there is not an obvious pick here, he could always say fuck it round 3 in cleveland and thatd be fun. knicks would be fun but i think thibs would murder him with 40 mpg. gs might lure him to their retirement home with the promise of free tech stocks. or maybe he really will go to whomever drafts bronny and suffer in utah or something, i mean d wade kinda owns part of the team.

in my estimation the knicks didn’t have to give up very much to get this done. DDV is a good player but they had a lot of depth on the perimeter/wing so i don’t know if they’ll miss him in a huge way. KAT has many of the same flaws as randle and is just a better player and a much easier piece to fit into an offense. line ups with brunson, bridges, OG and KAT will do damage in the regular season, i think this makes the knicks better. the question obviously is how far you can get in the playoffs with KAT as your 5. i’m sure the knicks think they can somewhat replicate playing KAT with a 5 a la gobert, but idk if i see robinson getting tons of minutes deep in the playoffs. and he is always hurt. i’m obviously skeptical that having KAT as your 5 in the playoffs is a good idea

i think DDV is a nice get for the wolves, they definitely needed some more bodies on the perimeter in the playoffs last year, they relied a lot on NAW imo. i don’t think randle is very good but playing him next to gobert makes some sense i guess. i worry for ant but he can probably make a lot of stuff work i know this was primarily financially motivated but the wolves do have a more balanced roster now with DDV and dillingham, assuming he’s a plus for them. i don’t think they’re better though. it feels like randle will go out in another deal to me idk tim connelly is too good a GM to be riding w/ that into the playoffs
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 September 2024 03:08 (yesterday) link
gonna miss having randle around, seems like an extremely good dude. and his random elevation into a great player really did put the knicks on the path they’re on. it’s a tough business

Towns saw opponents shoot 67% in the restricted area, according to Second Spectrum tracking data, the last time he was a full-time center, in 2021-22 prior to the Gobert trade. By comparison, players shot 62% against Robinson last season and 57% against Hartenstein, one of the league's better rim protectors.

if the knicks plan is really to play kat a bunch at center well i dont love it, i mean its prob nbd for the regular season but in the offs seems pretty dicey, a lot depends on robinsons health which isnt great maybe the knicks make another move idk, tho with kat at center you do get to play three great defenders with og bridges hart, but youre still weak at the 1 and 5 which isnt a great combo, also kat makes way too much money
this trade is prob a solid upgrade for the knicks, getting a guy who can really score the ball is good for them, but adds on court and roster inflexibility long term so if it works thats great but if it doesnt theyre kinda stuck, if knicks fans/media turn on kat it could get ugly

i think if i were the knicks i wouldve kept my powder dry and not done this trade, tho they did get a pretty cheap price for a player of kats caliber, but on the other hand the price wasnt cheap for no reason

A constant drumbeat throughout the last year-plus: The Knicks wanted KAT. The Knicks wanted KAT. The Knicks wanted KAT. Eerily similar to the drumbeat in Minnesota when the Wolves coveted D'Angelo Russell. It was constant until they got him. Common thread?

― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 September 2024 16:14 (yesterday) link
to me personally this is purely an opportunity cost situation for the knicks. they 1 for 1 replaced randle, DDV is a good player but it’s very conceivable the knicks could find another back up 2/3 by the deadline, and the pick seems like whateveri find it hard to believe they’re a worse team, i just think the question is whether they ultimately could have done something else, but their argument is probably that this trade package is not netting you a player of KAT’s caliber elsewhere in the league
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 September 2024 16:20 (yesterday) link

I feel like Jordan's thing of like seeing the current wolves as connected to their long history of futility and failure & seeing that connection as like embodied in Karl Anthony Towns is probably correct but like - I liked those bad failed teams and I cheered for them, KAT seemed to genuinely like Minnesota and carried the team a bunch of times over the years, it's all very sad.

If there was one player Rose coveted more than Brunson, a de facto member of his family when he was hired as Knicks president in 2020, it might've been Towns. Both with deep Jersey roots, Rose had bonded with Towns when he was a teen and, as his agent, had been there with him from his Kentucky days to being picked No. 1 overall to becoming a max contract player.
