This is the guy the Wolves have looked to pair with Ant since before Beasley. He's already using Rudy's gravity inside perfectly and postgame Ant said he LOVES playing with him which is scary as hell for any non Wolves fans.
I love Donte too off the bench but he wants to be a starter. Im not taking a 6'4 Donte with a little above avg wing defense over a 6'6 Bridges with wingspan bigger than Wembanyama who is an ELITE wing defender, hasnt missed a game since being drafted and can give you 20 a game. Everyone relax on Mr Ragu. As much as I love him
Lifelong MN guy here – I love the Wolves getting Donte & Randle. If you've watched the Wolves over the past five years, KAT left a lot to be desired when it came to putting the ball on the floor w/o turning it over, and defensively he made some of the damned dumbest fouls I've ever seen. Questions about Randle fit offensively, sure – I still think he'll be a plus both defensively and creating his own shot. Donte is a dream for us – he can play the 2 with Ant, or back up Conley while they slowly bring Dillingham along w/o rushing him in his development. Money is a plus too.
Dante is a great player, very strong and very skilled. But the Knicks were no frontcourt and all backcourt with Brunson carrying too much of the load. DiVincenzo was their second best player and Hart was their third best player. Randall is always injured and physically beat up, he lacks jumping ability and mobility so he is under sized against the top power forwards and centers.
It's confusing he knew when they traded for bridges he would have a reduced role unless they traded Julius randle because bridges and og needs to start but I would rather over pay Isiah hartenstien trade randle or let him walk so in my opinion the starting lineup brunson , donte , bridges , og and Hartenstien and hart and McBride as the 6th and 7th man of the bench but Its confusing because reports say he wanted to be traded because he doesn't want a reduced role
I don't see why he's upset everybody here in New York was upset that he's gone. It's just business that's part of the NBA. Plus he was only here with the Knicks for 1 year it wasn't like he was here for 5 or 6 years. Pause., This is not going to be a rivalry., there are two different Conferences.. People always trying to find drama just to boost their views. Just like the East Coast West Coast rivalry was stupid. They are thousands of miles apart. It was just Tupac beefing with the Bad boy camp that's all.
Never seen so much hoopla around a journeyman role player. Knicks gave him a contract and made him a name…stfu and enjoy it. Being a dikk to your boy's dad? Dude always bailed on Brunson's projects, Hart always shows up. Their friendship wasn't that deep. The dude that is actually tight with them replaced Donte…Knicks are good.
Divo will be a key piece for the Wolves. Knicks are too stacked and unless some injuries happened like last year, he wasn't going to get a lot of minutes. He upped his worth with his playoffs run. Towns was the missing link in NY, who needed a big. Both teams benefit.
I like the Knicks offseason moves a lot but I still think they might of went abit too far with this last trade. Cool with Randle going but Donte is the high level roleplayer/ identity piece. I also think this New York saga will define KAT’s career when it’s all said and done.

Dude was a sniper for the Knicks. This will probably hurt us.
Knicks needed a center and the wolves insisted on DIVO be part of the trade.

Aight aight that's wat happens when you on da blow that's wat happens when you on da blow
Love Donte, but Mikal is a better player and a much better defender.
He signed a 4 year contract abd beought a house in new york,any sensible person has the right to be this upset.

It is what it is!!! So, Let's Go Knicks
I love how Donny literally sounds like he's a 1980's Ninja Turtle when he speaks 😂
Who's your favorite turtle Donny? You go after your namesake or more of a Michelangelo kinda guy?
He’s mad for nothing he is tripping
He will really help Minnesota bench and he is a champion
It's gonna be smack talking and lots of effort each match up…hard to be mad at this as a ball fan.
It’s business and the NBA. Donte should be happy that he was traded to a contender.
Divo will be a key piece for the Wolves. Knicks are too stacked and unless some injuries happened like last year, he wasn't going to get a lot of minutes. He upped his worth with his playoffs run. Towns was the missing link in NY, who needed a big. Both teams benefit.
Divo is devastated he's been traded. The interview they played at half time said all the right things but you could see in his eyes he was gutted.
The only sad thing is we only get to see this matchup only 2 times instead of 4 😂
Wrong.
“Can’t finish huh, Thibs? Can’t finish? This is what happens when they let YOU run the show. This is what happens when they let you run the show.”
Thibbs wasn't even on the bench, he was by the scorers table, standing up, like he always is…
DD was talking to Rick
Should have kept Donte, and traded Deuce or Hart.
No, this is wrong. Randle is there for his expiring.
Dude, you better own this view that KAT will be a positive for the Knicks. Crazy.
