00:00For the Knicks, this is an incredible move, an incredible move.
00:07The overthinks out there from people are laughable, really, like so bad.
00:12Karl-Anthony Towns has made an all-star team in the Western Conference.
00:19Karl-Anthony Towns, in one player, replaces everything you just sent out in Dante and
00:26Julius.
00:27The size of Julius Randle, the position, the positional needs that you have, Kat checks
00:33that box.
00:34People were texting me, ah man, what about Dante's shooting?
00:37You know how Dante just had a career year from behind the arc?
00:41Yeah, Kat shot it better from behind the arc last year.
00:44I know Kat's annoying for people.
00:47He really is the best shooting big man of all time.
00:49Like Dirk is a better basketball player, but just at shooting three-pointers, Karl-Anthony
00:54Towns does take the cake.
00:59The Knicks five of Brunson, Bridges, Oji, Hart, and Kat, I mean, that's fantastic.
01:11What are we overthinking here?
01:12I mean, really, Julius Randle has proven that they should not be trusting him in the postseason.
01:22You might say, oh, but Kat had some bad moments last year.
01:25He did.
01:26He had some great ones as well.
01:28Here's the big difference, though.
01:29Hey, Kat, listen, Brunson's got it going, Oji's having a nice game.
01:34Can you go be an absolute elite knockdown, spot-up corner three guy?
01:39Yes.
01:40Is that what you want out of Randle?
01:41You don't need that.
01:42You don't need that.
01:44You don't.
01:45But, all right, hey, listen, we need to get some easy baskets, post-touches, Kat, you
01:48got us?
01:49Yes, I do.
01:50Yes, I do.
01:52There are some defensive concerns that people have about protecting the rim.
01:58Here's the reality, though.
02:00Those concerns existed with Julius on the roster.
02:03Julius couldn't defend the rim.
02:04Doesn't make any sense.
02:05So, in order to defend the rim, if you need Mitchell Robinson out there, right, who's
02:12the better partner for Mitch Robb?
02:14Kat or Randle?
02:15What are we talking about?
02:16Obviously, Kat.
02:18Obviously, Kat, who can step out on the offensive side.
02:21I know Julius can shoot.
02:23He's not, he's nowhere near the shooter Carl Anthony Towns is, though.
02:27Kat literally has experience playing next to a seven-footer named Rudy Gobert.
02:33So when you, and again, in terms of shot blocking, I'd rather have Kat than Julius Randle.
