Makes sense. They were going into the season hoping their rookie could provide perimeter scoring. I think that's asking too much from Dillingham. That said, I really like Minnesota's bench going forward.

DDV is a huge value. We will miss him for sure. Among league leaders in defections, that’s a combination of effort and athleticism. He brought it every night. Never occurred to me he might be moved.

Minnesota must let Randle walk. They cannot afford to keep him. Same way they couldn’t afford KAT. His value is if they can flip him without taking back long term salary.


Thing is, there's a possibility Randle looks at the market and lots in. On the other hand, whoever takes him must have some understanding of what it takes to sign him.

He also just posted “stay tuned” after they waived Mook as if there’s some more in the works.

If Minny couldn’t keep KAT in order to super extend Ant then they can’t resign Randle. So he’s a productive player that is there for salary relief. But doubt he sticks there.

I don’t think it’s as simple as just “Minny couldn’t”. They currently have ownership issues where they are - temporarily? - boxed in from a luxury tax standpoint.

Bobby marks speaks to it in some of his stuff.

Knicks can be down by 20 with like 5 minutes to go in the 4th and not break a sweat of worry with KAT and Brunson cooking

i'll say it again, KP is a game changer. stretches defenses out 30 feet. one of the few misses this FO had allowing him to go to BOS for peanuts when he was openly saying he'd come back to NY. I said at the time we had just handed BOS the chip.

But KAT is the next best thing.

His Insta feed has a lot of troubled vibes. Lots of fingers crossed.

Mitch seems to have been given a heads up that a move is coming.

Man

Anyone think Brooklyn buys him out? Don’t even know if the Knicks can make that type of pickup

martin @ 9/28/2024 9:48 PM
Side note: Indiana loading up on centers against the Knicks or Philly or someone.

After giving this trade some time to sink in, I’ve gone from can’t wait for the season to begin, to sort of don’t give a shit.

I like the idea of keeping Mitch off the bench cause he would be great when its time for offense/defense substitutions late in games and he lives rent free in Embiid's head.
