I actually like the deal for the Knicks. Towns give them some size and also decent 3 point shooting.
Dante is a solid player as well for the Wolfes and tbh I am not a fan of Julius Randle so NY did a good thing moving on from him. He gets injured all the time and his head often seems to be somewhere else. KAT though also has some issues of course, sometimes it feels like he doesn't take things too serious.
But anyway, this deal can benefit both teams, also financially.
I really love those trades that totally come out of nowhere, hopefully we will see some more before the season starts, even though I somehow doubt it.
If I choose on who's the winner on this trade, I will say the Knicks just because they need a big more than a shooter like Randle and DiVincenzo. Speaking of shooting, we know that Randle averages around 15 shots per game when he's on NYK which is pretty high knowing that he isn't a shooting guard. Now that he's on a team where he isn't the main guy, will he make an adjustment and shoot less so that Edwards will not be affected? Or he will stay the same that will make a high number of shots every single game which might affect the team depending on how good he is on that night.
Like you, I also love these out-of-nowhere trades, and who knows, we might see more in the upcoming days before the regular season starts. It's hard to see which is the winner right now, so let's just see how these 2 teams play on the regular season now that they have a big roster change. Anyway, KAT and Coach Thibs are on the same team again.
