Bridges to knicks

With the way Thibs grinds down players those far out picks could be decent. IDK it’s just a lot for what Bridges is.

The picks are being overrated…still a premium price for a really good role player. Look at what BOS paid for White, Holiday, Porzingis combined.

Fair if you see him as just a role player. However he is a borderline AS quality 2 way wing who can self-create, which is probably the most coveted player type in the league.

Stop only counting FRPs in trades and you might realize that NYK didnt give up any prospect of value.

The picks are also their own (apart from one Bucks protected), and nearly guaranteed to be in very late 20s with the way East is looking atm.

The price wasnt insane at all.

The 2029 and 2031 picks could easily be lottery picks. It's 2024. The new CBA isn't going to allow a team to be that kind of good for 5-7 years. And now that the Knicks have exhausted a bunch of their asset base, it's going to be hard to pivot when things go sour.

2027, 2029, 2031....those three picks could definitely be fruitful ones

He’s not very good at that. This year in a higher usage role he was just average efficiency with little to no playmaking….and that higher usage also comes with the bonus of not being as good on defense. Realistically he can make the most impact in the role he had for the Suns…as a self creating, higher usage wing he’s like Jerami Grant. And don’t get me wrong, being a super role player is super valuable. But that’s a lot for a guy who should be ~18 USG.

He’s in a good spot though, I don’t think NYK will need him to do much creating. It’s a lot and if they don’t resign OG it’s going to feel real crappy. But to your point, they likely don’t care about losing the 24th pick or whatever every other year.

Also, the Knicks already burned through their prospects at the deadline for their splurge on OG and Bogey.

Still that is all speculative value. My post was merely to contrast the general consensus that they overpaid.

People often overlook players going the other way and focus on the amount of picks. Jazz fans should know better thanks to the Donovan trade.

Yeah, you can say on surface this is more than the Donovan trade because of the picks. But obviously we got some solid players. Even if Lauri didn't improve at all he was still a valuable starter on a good team. Sexton was still a 24 ppg player in his last season before missing a year with injuries. There was plenty of value and things to like with those guys. Bojan is a solid player but also 35 years old and getting close to being done if not already. He didn't do much for NY.

And despite not panning out for us, Ochai was a lottery pick fresh off the draft.
