Every Knicks Fan Needs To Watch Tom Thibodeau Laugh And Smile About Karl-Anthony Towns, Stop Complaining About The Trade Right Now

I know the trade isn't official because the CBA is weird, but it's time to talk about it a couple days removed. First off, we all need to stop complaining. Any Knicks fan still upset needs to stop. This is a move that the Knicks never would have made in previous eras. We never landed a guy - who is an All-Star - that was linked to us for years. Not to mention there's probably more out there in terms of why this got done. You had this story about DiVincenzo: 

I don't blame Donte for feeling that way. Everyone is wired different. Plus who knows if Randle was going to re-sign or not. The bigger point is how do the guys on the team feel about the trade? Obviously we lost one of the Nova Boys and a guy in Randle who helped turn this franchise around. That's just a fact. Let's start with our superstar - Jalen: 

Look, there's no way to believe this trade goes down without Brunson knowing about it before hand. You don't ship off one of his best friends without some sort of communication. Welcome to the NBA. Then there's the heart and soul of the team. 

Good enough for me. Still need more? How about Thibs? A man who coached KAT before. A man who mended a relationship with KAT because they both know this is an important move. We got him laughing and smiling! He's someone who never smiles or laughs. 

He's a step away from shaking that ass! Sure, there's questions about depth at the center spot or if KAT will handle New York and all that. Fuck it, this is a team working to compete for a title. This is new for us. This isn't something we ever saw the Knicks do before. We're still getting over shit like Jerome James and Andrea Bargnani and all those other names in the past. But if Thibs is laughing and smiling? We're laughing and smiling. No more complaining, time to embrace the new Knicks team.
