    I’m not a Knicks fan but it’s nice to see how aggressive they’ve been with building this squad. They realized what they have and decided to go the extra mile. They’re now competitive and marketable. Normally I would say this was too many picks for an above average player, but I think this time it might be worth it. If it all crumbles in a couple years they have more than enough talent to get at least a couple picks back. I see it as a win/win

    Right there is resale value to recoup those picks.. and also these next five years 90% chance our picks never go below 20th overall so we basically just sent over 6 2nd round picks. Either way what on earth r the knicks gonna do with all those picks besides mess it up. This knicks team top to bottom is maybe the most likeable team in the nba for neutrals. Except randle I guess. As a knicks fan i love this team already on another level the melo knicks. The fact we added mikal bridges is just so so so perfect its worth the picks 100000% dude will play 82 games and average 42 mins and be happier than a pig in shit😅

And signing bridges who’s better than Oobi got two years left on his deal and is a better player can do what he does and his coachable and doesn’t miss games! The Knicks will be a far better team next year!

    Exactly. The Knicks ran out of bullets vs the Pacers. Thanks to the Rudy Gobert trade, first round picks have been de-valued to where 5 is the minimum asking price in any trade. Mikal Bridges is exactly what Leon Rose & Thibd want: Interchangeable wings who have high basketball IQ. The cost of 2 players (trade for Brisges, re-sign OG Anunoby) equals one Paul George who “might” stay healthy or might not. This is NOT your Isiah Thomas Knicks. Leon Rose and Brock Aller have been killing it. Whatever happened to World Wide Wes, the Dione Warwick & her psychic friends to the stars?!? ✨

Miss me with the cheat off of when only Brunson & Randle can actually create their own shot. As much as Draymond’s POV has gotten under our fans skin, he’s 100% right! No way you look at this roster in comparison to what level of half court shot creation Boston, Philly, Milwaukee & Miami has & say the Knicks are title contenders. Analysts are dumb or cowards to call this Knicks roster title contenders.
