This is my opinion is quite a disruption deal for both franchise, while I'm really curious to see how it will all play out, I'm currently convinced that it's more of win for the Wolves than for Knicks, I could be wrong, though.
Agreed, KAT is very inconsistent and injury prone while Knicks player that they give up is reliable and versatile. I wonder how Knicks will utilize this trade by giving up a lot of key player that was supposed vital to build a solid team for them.
If you say that KAT is injury prone then why they take that risk to get him? Same with the Wolves as well, Randle is coming off from a injury and we don't know the extend of it. If by unfortunate chance, he got injured again, it could be another season ending and obviously, they will lose the capacity of that big men.
He is literally injured every year. With this big man size and the way he play makes him injury prone that’s why his game play sometimes so play safe because he doesn’t want to have a hard contact frequently or else he will be out again.
Wolves allow this trade since they knew that KAT still has some premium because of his dominating game when he is on it. They already have Gobert as big man while the addition will be very good to help ANT have some space which KAT can’t provide consistently.
