Knicks · Villanova Knicks Complete: NY lands Mikal (page 4)

Teams that contend pay insane prices to get there.
I don't know the future but Leon and company are not being pussies about on this one.
Sign OG, keep Mitch and hold the line on iHart.

WE can also trade out some players for picks in two years if This don't work.
Remember how fans thought how fucked Some teams were by trading draft capital? Nets got back a lot and will also have cap space to sign a free agent or use that draft capital to get another player. Donte alone is worth a mid first rounder.......

Im surprised Nets did this deal.

Are knicks done? Who knows with this FO.

WHOA!

This is a compicated trade. It is an overpay but what we gain is backup for when OG gets injured. We improve on Bogeys defense and athletic ability a lot. We make a lot of our team happy because we got their friend. Maybe this pushes Brunson to sign extention early. If we can re-sign OG and iHart I am good with the team. We still lack a playmaker off the bench but no team is perfect. I am good with the trade but it means this is going to be our team for years to come. We need to make sure we bring iHart and OG back. We lose one/two of them this changes things drastically.

Edit: Also I think our window to trade for the last big https://www.twitter.com/FredKatz/status/1805795050997129522 was closing due to our rising cap numbers. So might be why we gave up a lot to get it done now.

Things like this is why we got the cap god he will figure it out.

Mikal is a super star about not missing games and that is elite.

So when they gonna add Jay Wright to the staff? Come on Thibs make it happen!

I know you're excited. It seemed like you and I were the biggest Mikal-stans on the forum.

Apparently I don't vary my ideas lol

Dude you are the Knicks whisperer

I wonder if Precious will be on the roster next year.

I'm wondering the same thing. At a minimum makes the Knicks less desperate at the bargaining table.

I wonder if we can decline some cap holds and duck under the tax for a minute to sign a FA with the MLE. We got the right guy to figure all this shit out.

At some point you gotta go all in for a chip

We have drafted Knox, Frank, and God knows how many crap players with top picks. We still have picks every few years in first and second rounds and chances to sign UDFAs, and sign vets.

What kind of crack are you crackers on?

OG is a premier big wing in the league. There is zero territory that the Knicks FO is thinking anything other than resigning him.

Do not be Portland and think MJ is just one shooting guard too many because you have Clyde the Glyde doing his thing. Both together would have been very very nice.

I wanna Mikal Bridges bobble head!

I trust this FO whatever they do. I just wonder if the fact that OG declined his option drove Rose to go this route, as in, we're letting OG go and replacing him with Bridges.

Looking at the cap situation, renouncing OG, Burkes and Prescious probably lets us retain iHart and stay under the 1st apron.

I know Og and his plus/minus impact, but dude is never healthy and I can't imagine paying $40m for that kind of player.

Not giving up any FRP’s in the Toronto and Detroit trade deadline deals is looking huge right now

Leon be like, thanks for the hookup bro!
