Bridges to knicks

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'm still not a fan of it but we now know that they are also getting the better of the 2029 mavs and suns picks as well as a 2029 swap option for the mavs and suns picks. That means they get the better for those 2 picks and if the worse of those picks better than their own pick then they can swap for that pick as well.

That’s a significant detail. I think it makes sense.

Wtf? They wouldnt trade us Grimes.... and then go and do this? Look's like a terrible trade. That just about guarantees Donovan isn't going to the Knicks so that's great. lol

For the record, I think Lauri is easily a better player than Mikal….but Mikal is also overrated AF and has 2 years left on his contract + will resign. I don’t buy into the idea that Lauri has more trade value even if he should/is clearly a better player.

Mikal was 5 firsts plus a swap….I think Lauri will be something like 4 (of NYK caliber) plus a swap.

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.

I think I know what they are doing. But they are relying on the Suns wanting to do a rebuild. They want to get Durant and they are stocking on Suns picks to entice them to go into rebuild themselves(return their picks so they can go into a tank). This might mean Booker might be ont he market too? Should we be interested in that one?

Booker ?? of course

I somewhat agree but unprotected picks deep into the future will always be incredibly valuable just because things can change so quickly for teams.


Even young, controlled player teams like Memphis can have a litany of injuries/head cases and end up bottom of the league for a season.

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.

Sorry, what prospects were they supposed to send?

Quentin Grimes

Quentin Grimes

If only they still had him, he’s worth 74 first round picks.

Brooklyn officially enters the great tank race of 2025.

Anybody on their roster worth inquiring about?

They don't have their own pick until '28. They won't be (deliberately) tanking, I'm sure they'll load up on various fairly good players and put a team out there that will try to challenge for a play-in spot.

Just pointed out there werent any. Dont know how much pressure Bridges put on Nets to get to NY, but as their GM I would have rather taken back some known prospects instead of 100% speculative ones.
