We definitely never saw a KCP lineup last year.

I think our Suggs KCP back court is going to terrorize a lot of teams!

The Knicks are nearing a trade to send package around Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota for Karl-Anthony Towns, sources tell me and

That Knicks/Wolves trade is super wild. 

Wolves essentially cost cutting by trading away and All Star. Knicks immediately breaking up the whole "Nova Knicks" team before it played a game. 

Randle doesn't feel like a good fit in Minnesota. 

KAT playing for Thibs again? Didn't go well the first time. 

Knicks look really strong on paper though.

What is Minnesota doing? Omg they had something going.. 
 Is Edwards available? if so that’s the one trade i’d brake the bank for. 

Doesn’t feel like Edwards is available at all, but then again, who had KAT being traded on their bingo cards after the success they had

The Wolves always had exactly 1 year (this coming year) with the team they had due to the second apron so they'd have to make a move at some point. People just thought they'd go all in this season first. 

Edwards is not in any way available.

No, but we saw lineups with JI as starting center, I think in the playoffs against Cleveland, if I recall correctly.  I also seem to recall that starting JI as center was mostly a disappointment.  

True, but was also really strange the way it was done by coaches. I mean, he played 15/20 min all season, most of them with the reserves. And suddenly, we tried something different in the most important moment of the season, game 1 playoffs. Wasn't better to work with it before? You can't really pretend something new to work immediately in the most difficult stage. I still believe he could be a great, great option at C.

The whole Kat trade is all bout cap and money. It had to happen and he was the most movable asset. Naz Reid does most of what Kat does, he even hits 3's.

The Wolves don't need Kat despite him playing a brilliant series against the Nuggets. Remember i watched that series live at the stadium. Short term it could hurt them, but it's all about the long term effect. It's a superstar league and Ant's the real future star on that team, possibly the whole league. He is just getting started. There wasn't room to pay a max to a guy who honestly likes playing video games more then hooping. Kat is good kid but he is not the type of guy championships are built on and New York can afford paying him not Minnesota.

I don’t like the trade for Minnesota personally. I am not a hug KAT fans but I hate the fit with Randle. That Gobert trade is really haunting The Timberwolves. .
