OT: Mikal Bridges Traded to the Knicks

[aceboon]

Nova Knicks are now complete, I guess this means no OG now. He was a big risk at a huge contract considering he hasn't been able to stay healthy dating back to college.

they definitely overpaid

I was going to title the thread: "Knicks Agree to Never Draft Again"

Love it. They had way more draft picks than they could possibly use anyway, and he's a perfect fit

 

[awy]

that was a trade of all time

 

[aceboon]

Considering Mikal's durability Thibs is going to really test the limits of how many minutes a human body can play

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Trading that many picks doesn't typically work out. "They'll be late first round picks anyways".

5 first rounders for him is insane though. They also basically traded IQ and Barrett for him as well. Great fit but a lotttt

For him and OG, I'd imagine he's still back. If he's gone I'd feel a little different about the deal

Are there any other Nova players left who won a title with Jay, in the NBA but not on the Knicks?

 

[superjohn]

I'm a Thibs fan despite him wearing his players out but can the Knicks please trade him for Jay Wright?

That's how I look at it. If you're gonna go all in, go all in. This is a 3 & D league now as the Celtics showed. With Bridges + OG they have the wings to compete with Boston. Without OG, it makes no sense to give up this much.

 

[aceboon]

So wait, the Knicks are still trying to re-sign OG too? Can't bank on him being healthy but if they keep him as well they're firmly cemented as #2 in the East behind Boston.

 

[KemBuckets21]

They’re keeping this years picks, so opportunity to add two young players to their core. Dont love 5 firsts for borderline all stars, but they paid the same division, same city tax.

Love the potential starting five for them.

I would expect Randle and Robinson are gone.

Yup — I see no way this isn’t done without OG being locked up. You go all in, you go all in.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

My guess is they're either hoping to get something back for OG in a sign and trade or they're going to re-sign him and trade Randall.

They traded Ryan Aricidiacono earlier this year. He was waived and Chicago owns his rights.

Collin Gilllespie's on Denver.

Arcidiacono was on the Knicks last season as well but he was traded and is up and down from the league to the G League. Eric Paschall has been out of the league for a year or two.

Huge mistake. Theyve guranteed themselves to be basement dwellers if this current roster doesnt work out.

 

[EBonz30]

Hard to really evaluate the deal at least on the Knicks side until the rest of their offseason moves pan out.

With that said, total no-brainer for the Nets- got a good amount of draft capital for a player they probably didn’t want to throw max money at to resign him which is what they would’ve had to do to keep him.

 

[aceboon]

With that many of his former guys there gotta imagine that would be the one job he would come outta retirement for

 

[superjohn]

Trade Randle and Robinson and recoup assets/free up money. Move up and draft Clingan.

 

[navery12]

Don't think most people realize his contract situation. Him and Brunson are 2 of the bigger bargains in the league right now
