Breaking: Nets trade Mikal Bridges to the Knicks for Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected 1st round picks

[ECA]

This ain’t NBA2k there’s not enough minutes for Hart, OG, Randle, Bridges. You gonna have nikkaz making $35 Million to come off the bench? That’s as retarded as it gets and if the Knicks want to keep OG they need to ship somebody else out.

Mikal Bridges is a legit SG. He's starting

 

[THE 101]

He fits way better as he was in the Suns, 3rd-4th option on offense and a good defender.

He plays all the time as well, which matters

The whole team other than Brunson is a bunch of 3rd/4th options

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Ship Randle and Isiah out

 

[Left.A1]

Brunson
Mikal
OG
Randle
Mitch

If anybody is redundant in that lineup it’s Julius ….wonder if they try to get off that contract and get another high end scorer off the bench or just a more low usage 4…. Love the aggressive moves the Knicks have made over the last two transaction cycles. Don’t know if they can match up with the Celtics but this definitely pushes them up there with the best in the East.

Randle takes alot of pressure off of Brunson having to be the sole offensive hub. Mikal has shown flashes of decent playmaking but Randle's presence makes a lot of guys better. Most importantly Brunson is a lot more efficient when Randle is on the court

 

[THE 101]

What is that much though ? He’s proven to be a high level 3 and D guy in Phoenix ,went to BK showed that he had a little more game but also showed he’s not a #1 ..In NY as a third option he’s elite .

If a late 20s first is Marcus Sasser that’s a hit ….Marcus Sasser ain’t moving the needle . The likeliest outcome is that Mikal is far better than any of those draft picks they gave up and now they have a legit shot to compete in the East

The point is the opportunity cost of using those picks on Mikal. This is the Knicks' all in trade. The question isn't will Bridges be better than any of those draft picks, it's is Bridges the best possible player they could've got for all those picks?

I'm not even necessarily saying it isn't the best use of those picks, as there's a lot to like about this trade, but i'm not quite sure it's a totally transformative blockbuster trade that immediately takes a team to the next level. Which is what that kind of pick haul usually results in. But maybe the Knicks don't need that much more to get better, i dunno

So the Knicks traded OG Anunoby, Bougie and 4 unprotected 1st rounders for Mikal Bridges. If it Makes Donte Divincenzo Happy that’s all it matters.

Got out of rj’s contract

All of that over dribbling and chucking up 18 shots a game ain’t necessary anymore with Bridges there and OG to be honest. Those shots should go elsewhere. It’s easy to say Brunson is more efficient when Randle is there when his backup is mid. The team has way more options to help Jalen out now. Seems inevitable that he’ll be the odd man out.

I understand they wanted to get the band back together but thats way to much for him

 

[ProlificLurker]

Let's Go!!!

This whole move is corny.

But that's nothing new from the Knicks front office, who haven't done sh*t right in mad seasons. Bridges ain't no difference maker. And this whole goofy Villanova love-fest sh*t they've been on lately is f*cking up our chances to bring in actual superstar talent.

There's nothing more stressful and annoying than being a lifelong Knick fan.

 

[Damnshow]

This is bad. You don't trade that many picks unless the guy is a legit all star who'd be a difference maker.

This is a very 00s Knick move.
