How Mikal Bridges MAKES THE KNICKS UNSTOPPABLE!

[@moorehoops3490]

Are the Knicks now the favorite for the 2025 championship?

[@roncowan5218]

I think the Knicks are definitely a title contender,if the center position is tight and if Julius Randle takes the same approach as this past season with the bullyball first and then going to the midrange and the three ball,most definitely

The NYK have put themselves in a place where not only will they compete next year, but for years to come. These guys are all mostly in their mid-20's, just hitting their primes. Thibs must be giddy with the team he is being handed. The only thing that will slow them down is getting everyone paid and staying out of the aprons if possible.

[@skillzv]

If anyone knows basketball, they know that the Knicks didn't give up the bank. This front office is playing chess, while others are playing checkers. Trust the DON💯

[@Guyonyoutube201]

😂😂😂😂😂 the Knicks are in kindergarten and trying to rebuild a team that had success years back bc they have no idea what they are doing. They lost a series where Halliburton had a few terrible games, Brunson played a career series, everything went right for nyk in terms of team ball, AND they got bailed out in game 1 by a call that wouldn’t even fly in elementary girls hoops 😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 nyk WE BACK!!! Bc this is the Knicks DNA!!!

[@georgecherry1536]

Young man, your take is the best and most optimistic take I've heard thus far. I've heard too much pessimism and people talking about the weaknesses rather than seeing the strengths. Everyone is talking if they could've, would've or should've as if they're making decisions. But we've all been saying that we want Mikal Bridges. Now that we have him it's not enough and we're not there yet, we need to do more, can't sign Hartenstein, need to trade Julius and Robinson. Thanks for the update and the optimism. Will subscribe. That's a promise. Keep up the good work.

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks a lot for your kind words 🙏🏽

[@bulaclacj]

If we look at the trade package as for Mikal Bridges, it’s an overpay. If we look at it as for the resulting team by adding Mikal, it’s a steal.

[@moorehoops3490]

Very well said!

[@Mand-kl8sy]

just goes to show. the knicks are willing to do or pay anything to bring a championship to ny. we want it more than any other nba team right now

[@conorwatchvidz]

The fit and chemistry that comes along with getting Mikal is invaluable. It’s the best possible move they could’ve made

[@RobBarker225th]

We waited patiently for the right moves to make and we had an opportunity to go for it with the was Leon and Wes played their hands when it was needed

[@christylamoure7996]

At the end of the day these dudes have to answer to jalen brunson. His skill mixed with mentality and IQ makes him the highest caliber player in the east. Nobody wants to see him

[@heliossantana5115]

Ppl are dumb to say this is an overpay. What were the Knicks to do with their picks if not get exactly the player they want, who fits perfectly with this team and its chemistry, and who's a hell of a shooter and defender. The Knicks are trying to win now and if things don't work out over the next few years, all of their guys are young and will still have value if they decide to blow it up. The Knicks have a damned good team. Barring injuries, I see them as the only eastern team to challenge Boston. This team is definitely a top contender.

[@glawtonmoore]

Getting a player that can help them compete with an improved Sixers, champion Celtics, competitive Pacers and growing Magic, is a win! The Knicks are in Win now, and win for the next 5-6 years! Great decision bringing in Michal B!

Facts this is probably one of the rare times Thibs is actually smiling! Lol

[@georgecherry1536]

Now we gotta add old ass playoff Jimmy. They just can't do enough can they? Don't want or need Jimmy Butler. You forget the bullshit he said that made Pat Riley tell him to shut the hell up? Would rather beat his ball dominant, ball stopping, big mouthed, injury prone ass. I hope you were being facetious with that bullshit.

[@prez66465]

I don’t know about heaven, one of them might be in hell. What do we need Butter for? They had their time together!

[@roncowan5218]

With both Bridges and OG Anunoby,they not only,guard the wings,they can switch on to bigs and to point guards at a high level and as far as the picks,Leon Rose is a master at acquiring draft picks,he already started doing that in this draft. Now,the only downside is they may lose Hartenstein to a team that can pay him more money,but,they still have Mitchell Robinson and I know he's been injury prone these last few seasons,but if I Hartenstein leaves,the Knicks can still go out get a decent center,who can at,least give the Knicks decent rim protection and rebound the ball or they can give Jericho Sims a shot and see if he can take that next step and keep Precious Achiuwa to help reduce Mitchell Robinson minutes,reducing the possibility of him getting injured. Either way,the Knicks are going to be problem. I know people like bringing in a big name star,but,OG showed us,how huge fit can be for a team as he took the Knicks to another level,before the injuries and I think Mikal Bridges can make a big impact,because,of the tremendous fit. We'll see what happens

[@CorySands]

Put a space after the ,

[@emersonssbb]

Did you watch the NBA Draft. Knicks are freeing up Cap SPace to resign Hartenstein.

[@hubonthescene]

We have so many first-round picks laying around might as well throw some out there.... It also makes our players more valuable

[@donovanjaden1617]

I feel like Maki is going to make a all star team next season

[@2216sammy]

I do also . His production is going to skyrocket .

[@bradybashers]

Great insight on Mikal's game, I agree he should thrive on the Knicks where he doesn't have to carry an offense and can play off the ball and focus more on defense. But also a luxury to have a guy capable of generating offense when they need it. Boston seems to still have the edge on paper but the Knicks may have some intangibles on their side like their deep bench and ability to crash the boards.

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks alot man 🙏🏽

[@moe.ron4life399]

One of the main things you have to look at is the contract itself, its super team friendly and gives the Knicks the flexibility to go give OG his money even after trading for Bridges. You can look at a guy like PG who makes 30+ million and is in his mid 30s which would hard cap you quickly in the new CBA. You get Bridges right at the start of his prime and continue to add to the young core. NM the chemistry he brings and defense, Knicks nailed it.

[@moorehoops3490]

Well stated, Leon Rose has done a great job with the contracts.

[@LisaMurray-q6s]

If. The next keep isaiah And robinson they will win the championship

[@moorehoops3490]

Agreed, I would bring back Precious too.

[@robertspiller7093]

I donot think so sorry.

[@Gmen2487]

My only issue is that the Knicks shouldve moved every pick that wasnt theres, the kids they stashed, Bojan and some cash before moving their picks. Then if needed, package 2 of our picks.

[@puppethound]

So now we can see what Thibs can actually do. He is a great NBA coach, good defensive mind, but imo he is an overrated HEAD COACH. He doesn't manage his players well and wears them down before the playoffs starts and makes them susceptible to injuries in the long term. So if he can't win with this stacked lineup, he needs to go or at best, he should be talked about being on the Hot seat. I am not a huge Thibs fan. He is better than most, but not as good as the best, like most everyone seems to feel he is.

[@joarby]

If he thinks he’s a star then he will fail. Brunson has to be the leader and the go to at all times. The ball will be in his hands to decide. As for Randle, he thought he was the star and the result was they couldn’t win. He was one of the four players I said for three yrs that should be traded or else can never win. Last yrs they started to win and one of the reason was 3 of the 4 players I mentioned were traded and Randle wasn’t playing. They should’ve traded him to keep Hartenstein but they screwed that up. When u think u are the star…u don’t play defense and guess what? Defense wins!!!

[@CorySands]

How come you have Mitch coming off the bench

[@moorehoops3490]

I think Isaiah Hartenstein established himself as the starting center going forward with how he played this season. He’s the better player when you consider both ends of the floor imo

If by some voodoo we actually resign IHart you basically have a starting 5 of Brunson Bridges OG Randle and IHart with Kolek the obvious immediate backup point moving duece to the 2 rounded out by Devo Hart and Mitch...oh yea plus the other pick the wing from Kansas we got who averaged 21 a game in his senior season....I really dont think I could make a well cohesive well rounded team in a video game..the fact this happened is reality actually may have broken my brain

[@michaelcuttita4316]

McBride is the backup PG. I expect Lowry to sign a 1 yr deal too

[@inigomontoya4032]

The knicks stockpiled picks for this reason. And it is a great fit. The mets will probably waste those picks but the knicks wouldnt have a high pick. Barrimg injuries, they will be good for years. And even injuries last year, they played well. Go Knicks!

[@moorehoops3490]

Go Knicks 🙌🏽

[@wildcard9370]

What did the Knicks trade away? Draft picks. What’s the point of draft picks? To build a better team. Why do you want to build a better team? To win a championship. What are the Knicks closer to now than if they kept those draft picks? A championship. It still blows my mind that people do not understand the concept of winning now.

[@moorehoops3490]

Exactly, even if the Knicks did overpay for Mikal Bridges, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it!

[@magnumboom4475]

Leon is playing chess, everyone else is playing Yahtzee. These moves secure our contention for many years to come. ALL of our players have deals you can move, so the value in those picks never left, it is retained in the Players on the roster.

[@moorehoops3490]

Not to mention everyone is on way below market deals. Leon Rose is crushing it!

[@josephcox3091]

I dont consider this an over pay. What this does is gives us leverage on Randel, where we can trade him for some picks back or depth if we really need to, all of players on the knicks are valuable assets

[@moorehoops3490]

Word Leon Rose was really smart with the contracts so the flexibility to still make trades is there

[@steffanbrown4780]

They didn’t need much

[@prez66465]

The Knicks will only beat Boston if they do the following: 1. Play solid defense 2. Rebound on both ends 3. Match energy 4. And this is very important Play smart basketball. You’ll never beat the Celtics making mistakes, that’s why most teams can’t beat the Celtics. They play smart basketball. Do these 4 things and you will beat the Celtics.

[@orlandorichardson4274]

This reminds me of when the pistons got rip Hamilton , people were saying he not a super star, he can’t get to the rim, but he fit right in and his midrange was huge for that offense.. bridges will have that same impact .With a healthy Randle and healthy Robinson coming back is bigger than having hartenstien back.. Yes I want hartenstien but Randle and Robinson together can make up for his lost.. with randle, you have another ball handler and a assist player that can make up for the passing that I hart gave you, and Mitch will do all the dirty work but even better.. Mitch (when healthy) is a better all round defender than he is, in my option I hart got exposed in that pacers series, they put siakam in pick and roll and ran it on us because of his lack of mobility, they would not be able to do that with Mitch , as he is a lot more agile..I hart is great defending bigs that wanna dominate down low, but that pick and roll Indian ran on him made him look clueless on defense

[@moorehoops3490]

Great comparison!

[@bradrielly7031]

That was a great pistons team that shut down a very stacked lakers team. To this day one of my favorite series. This knicks team is very similar with great defenders and no superstar but a bunch of excellent players.

[@orlandorichardson4274]

@@bradrielly7031 that’s exactly why I brought up the pistons, this team reminds me of them

[@MultiplePassiveStreamsOfIncome]

I’m NOT sure if you mentioned this but Mikal has NOT missed a NBA game since drafted. Very important as OG is injury prone so if that continues, you keep an elite defender in your lineup throughout injuries

[@duty6011]

With what happened last night at the draft I really dont think anyone would be able to argue that the knicks are by far the most well rounded and deep 8-9 player rotation in the league and maybe in a long time...who ever hired Rose knows some shit about some shit
