NO WAY This is Happening…
Julius Randle has been SHOCKING EVERYBODY with his hot start to begin the season with the Minnesota Timberwolves while Karl Anthony Towns is still trying to figure out his role with the New York Knicks. Randle and the Wolves have been a great match which confuses Chris Gallagher due to the lack of shooting in the Wolves front court. Chris breaks down why Towns will figure it out in NY and the weirdly slow start for Donte Divincenzo.

We’re not comparing numbers, we traded to space the floor for to fit Brunson play style and open up the floor for us. You gotta see the bigger picture and not look at it 1 for 1 like you’re doing
We didn’t let Randle cook is a reach, we let him cook for 3 years and he plateaued. Brunson came and got us deeper in the playoffs in his first 2 Years with us.
Why are y’all acting like this is new for Jules? He was a 25/10/5 for the Knicks. How quick you forget. With all that being said, it still was a great trade because Jules wasn’t gonna play the 5 big minutes. Knicks needed a 5 and got the best shooting one ever. You must not realize what the Knicks are quite yet
Don't judge Towns by a few games. Randle did nothing for the team for years !!!
Chris don't be that Knicks for clicks dude.
2 games, Chris. We’ve played 2 games.
I think the organizaton disrespected Randle,how do you trade a nba allstsr in his ladt year wothout running it back?knicks showed thier true colors when they did that
Nah get outta here @Chris you trynna be on both sides!? We made our deal , it's over we up now!
Can’t be serious. Talk to me when he preforms good in the post season.
Randle gotta do a hella lot less dirty work with Rudy cleaning glass (why KAT loved that situation just hanging out on the perimeter bombing threes). Now KAT actually gotta be a real basketball player again, play both sides of the ball more and expend more energy, hence don't expect his shooting% to be as high as last few years … more tired legs end-game.
This young generation doesn't think "would you believe that it would've been better to lose Randle for nothing"? So he's got a hot start good for him but in the playoffs will he still be hottttt???
I liked regular season Randle but unfortunately can't say the same for playoff Randle
Something wrong with this guy. How many games are we talking about? 2?
Tweak your Brakes Bro, Towns is a Better Fit
You are completely missing the point of the trade. No one said he wasn't good. KAT fits better for where the Knick are with JB at point and where they want to be.
Dude you're still on Randle's jock good lord, he's want getting us a chip as the second option just stop lol
No suprise at all KAT has never been a star. His biggest accolade is winning the 3 pt contest 😂. Randle took Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina , Taj Gibson, Alec Burks , Reggie Bullock , RJ Barrett , Obi Toppin to the playoffs. Not only that but home court advantage! Meanwhile Jimmy Butler and the second unit is cooking KAT with the starters 💀
Hard disagree, KAT has been great are you just looking at box scores?
He had one 38 poi t game.
You do have a quick trigger. Please let the season play out before jumping to conclusions.. I hope both guys play very well.
awoooo
Its been only 2 games what are you talking about? 😂
Chemistry was destroyed. Mid-season after a better look at a healthy squad with Hukporti or Skapentsev should have been the best situation.
I can't believe how many ignorant anti Julius Randle comments there are here. Its like these casuals don't watch any games and just parroy whatever narrative they see. So let me educate these casuals.
Julius was an amazing player for the knicks and he single handedly bought them back to releveance. He worked on his iso and shooting to become 20 and 10 guy. And his post season "fails" was not his fault and people love to leave out the context:
Year 1 he was on a team with scrubs and Hawks gameplaned to trap him.
Year 2 he got injured in the playoffs and the rest of the teams shooting fell off a cliff
Year 3 he was injured the entire 2nd half of the season.
So anytime you wanna bring playoffs into this then dont forget to mention he only had 1 series with a decent roster and not injured and he dominated that series.
Randle deserved to have a shot with this roster
It wasn’t a mistake, because he always chokes in a playoffs. How come you people always forget this kind of stuff.?
no content to talk about. carry on
KAT only had 13 pts 10 rebounds against the cavs. Even McBride had more points with 14 😂
Knicks fans will have to answer for everything suspect move that they made.. I always questioned the front office when they didn’t want to give up 3 picks for Spider when they had more than enough to make it happen..
Alot of you are slow Minnesota fleeced them they can get the number 1 pick next year timberwolves are still young
Randle wanted to stay but only if he was wanted. Bottom line, Knicks were more interested in snagging KAT then they were in keeping Randle. Knicks needed to fill a void in the absence of Mitch and Randle was the only one that could make KAT happen. I don't like the trade. I would have liked to see what the team could do with a healthy Randle. Team will not be better without him IMO!
Nah the difference is randle don't got to do much work and kat on the other hand got to do a lot more work thibs asking towns to play like a traditional center which is not towns game at all he still trying to figure it out
KAT is playing fine. His PER is way higher than Randle's for a reason. KAT and Randle are obviously not going to put up these numbers on the year. It's 3 games.
Knicks didn’t get him to put up a bunch of points. It was mainly spacing
3 games in. Lawd y’all ridiculous
would be real nice to have someone that has to be doubled and generated many wide open 3s for teammates
Julius Randle doing it by a wide margin…..2nd place is one pint behind him my guy
Julis has always put up numbers, but he is not a winning player. This trade was about fit, and he didnt fit what this team wants to do. His style of play wasnt going to work for us. Their are tons of players that put up empty numbers, and he is one.
