We don't make that KAT trade if Ihart had stayed.

Sucked to lose Divo, but Deuce broke out and then we got Shamet and Alvarado and so now we have 3 pieces for the price of 1. And that gave us great depth in case DDV were to get hurt, which he did in MIN.

Sucks to lose Mitch, but we'll recover again. We got his best years and the truth is he's been getting heavier and slower and his FT's were becoming more and more of an issue. And of course only 108 games played the past 3 years and that's with limiting his minutes. he was down to just 13.9 in the playoffs and we still dominated. His peak was probably manhandling the CAVS in the playoffs 3 years ago.

I'll always remember the dunk on Embiid and the big offensive rebound late in G5.

I’m in this boat

Same. I agree with not going over the second apron with us being able to bring everyone else back plus adding Drummond. Mitch is awesome but there will always be a ton of risk with him.

We just won the championship because KAT finally stopped underachieving, and started playing like iHart.

Anybody who does not think the January 2024 Knicks were ****ing phenomenal is a moron. And I am sorry that Julius hurt people with his finger.

Calling people you disagree with morons is not the way to handle your business.

I don't think you're a moron if you love a player I despised as a Knick. Everybody has their likes and dislikes.

Randle is a person who quits on their teams and now his last team quit on him and dumped him for nothing.

I've never seen a player behave more disgracefully towards their teammates than Randle and I resented it deeply when he was a Knick.

If you can't handle that, that is your problem. I'm not going to hurl insults at you every time you crash and burn over a Randle comment.

That’s what I’m hoping for. Brown and co. get this guy to a treadmill and start him on a strict diet. He looked slower than Eddy Curry after Chinese Buffet last year

It’s a major problem and it’s going to set him up for getting injured over and over again.

Well that’s one way to make him lose weight. Give him 40+ minutes a night

He’ll need to if we don’t get another big and if Towns is fouling the nights away.

Not a good situation

The KAT trade was an epic heist. I still can’t figure out how Rose pulled it off

Yes it was. The cost wasn’t high enough to upgrade from Randle to KAT. It solved both our center problems and fit problems, it just took a little bit to get there. Randle is a floor raiser but not a ceiling raiser. I loved that Jan 2024 team but not convinced that team wins it all. The playoffs are just so different than regular season. Luckily it’s not a concern anymore. We got out of the Julius Randle business just in time (before having to figure out his next contract) and got a far better player with a higher upside. Less than 2 year later we win the title and Randle is salary dumped to the swamp.

The only time Max was ever good was as a young cub reporter in the boxing ring which was his first love and the sport he actually knew something about. I thought he was quite good when he was just a boxing announcer.

Once he got into general sports coverage his opinions became essentially worthless. He's just another low information quip for clicks guy now

I think you're taking Todd too literally/seriously. He's the site clown. And he's good at it. No offense, Todd.

2nd apron

It's the reason the Knicks got KAT and won a championship and the reason the Celtics got Mitch on a 3 year deal. But there are levels to this cause one aint the other

Yup this is how you take advantage of teams now. Stay flexible and pounce when they need to make second apron decisions.
