If Bridges plays to his potential then this is a win win for them. I like it.0 -

The picks are for 2025, 27, 29 and 31 (with an unprotected swap for 28). The 2025 pick likely won't be a lottery pick, but beyond that, any of those others could be. This smells a lot like the Nets/Celtics trade for Pierce and Garnett that ended up netting the C's Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum with the foolishly unprotected picks.
Huge win for the Nets in my book. Bridges isn't exactly the missing piece to a championship for the Knicks. If you are making this trade for a player like say Anthony Davis or Joel Embiid, a guy who plays a position the Knicks lack a top caliber player at, then this pick haul makes sense. Bridges is redundant to the Knicks roster makeup position wise and as noted above by Xavier has never been an all-star. Stupid move in my opinion. But hey, another Villanova guy, yay.This weekend we rock Portland0 -

But also seems like a good short term deal for Knicks too, however they now are likely not going to be able to add another star player. So we'll see how that works out for them.
I love Bridges. I fucking love the Villanova Wildcats. Pains me to see so many god damned National Champions on that stupid team. Hopefully Thibbs runs them into the ground again.www.myspace.com0 -

But from the Knicks perspective, if they feel a smaller pg like Brunson is their main guy, getting a defensive stalwart wing like Bridges makes sense...especially if they can bring OG back.

Brunson and Siakm are 2 players that did this.0 -
If Bronny James were named Ronny Rhames (Ving's son?), he'd have never gotten a D-1 scholarship let alone be talked about as being an NBA draft pick.This weekend we rock Portland0

Lets talk about NBA draft today!
Donovan Clingan will not be an allstar in the NBA ever. No way. I do not see how he is getting this much hype.
Risacher looks promising.
Buzelis has been developing well in the G league.0 -

To be fair, a lot of the resentment stems from Rollie Massimino sort of dismantling the Big 5 back in the 80's. But that was a million years ago. Get over it. lolPost edited by The Juggler onwww.myspace.com0
