i messed up some pick details my bad the nets got 2 of their own picks back in exchange for suns picks to the rockets Also managed to miss a swap the knicks sent the nets too x.com/FunkyDiabetic1

Nets signed KD in free agency and made 9 first round picks out of him lmao

The Nets may have just undone the Curse of Danny Ainge with that haul

This is also the first time since 1982 the Knicks and Nets traded with each other.

man it’s been YEARS i’ve been watchin you now, legit my favorite sports analyst

Mikal Bridges got more picks than 2 All-Stars combined in Pascal Siakam and Jrue Holiday Good lord

Bridges can get 4 picks and you're telling me you can't even get 1 pick for Caruso...

The Knicks NEED to keep OG. The defensive potential of OG and Mikal is way too good to pass on.

Brunson 100% signs the team friendly extension now

It is an "overpay," but sometimes you have to do that when you are close to a title. I honestly think it was a good move. If I can only keep one of Randle or OG, I'm trading Randle. Both OG & Mikal are 37-38% career 3P shooters, both have made all-defensive teams, and both are very capable of averaging 16 points per game. Having those two on the same team, I just dont think people are giving the Knicks enough credit. Now if they just let OG walk for nothing, I'm not as big of a fan of this. If they lose iHart, there are several centers in this years draft & they have a pick.

Bojan on a lottery team again LOL

Villanova Knicks here we go!!!

Oh Tom Thibodeau play all your players so these 4 can actually last to the finals!

Mikal not being a 1st option definitely had a play in him being traded. This was a down season for him. Can’t wait to see him back in that 3 and D role

This was an A+ move. Fuck them picks. Mikal will be fantastic on the Knicks. They’re going to the finals next season. -Pacers fan

If this Nova Knicks is for real I’d say the guys as a group should come together and decide on taking pay cuts so OG/IHart are still welcome, themselves to if they the college good times to last longer than 2 years

"Maybe there is a world where KPs health is a question" yeah man we've been living in that world for the last 7 years

If the Nets arent a top tier team within the next 6 years, that is 1000% on them. They have so many fucking picks and cap space. If they get nothing from that, it's the definition of skill issue.

As long as we keep OG I'm happy with it. If we don't then it's very bad imo

If they manage to keep OG, that's unfair man🥶 That being said I'm glad my Nets have finally grown some balls. We're all-in for the rebuild 💪

Beating the 76ers with a Villanova squad would be spiritual

Instead of trying to trade Julius Randle to keep OG and I Hart the Knicks should sign and trade I Hart to the Thunder. Randle is still an all-NBA player I don’t get why people try so hard to get rid of him especially now when he is clearly the Knicks second best player

Maybe this is cope but I don't think Leon and Co. make these moves (IQ and RJ for OG, 5 First for Mikal) if they aren't confident they can keep OG. Also OGs agent being Leon Roses son makes me think that they got this all figured out.

Boggy and Bridges make the same amount of money… OG is coming back and Knicks are taking the chip

All my thoughts wrapped up in a comment: Mainly: Kyrie and KD coming to the team meant that even if it failed, trading them away resulted in (we now know) ELEVEN additional picks minus the ones they gave Houston to begin with when the team would've been stuck with D'Angelo and Levert. Rockets baffle me: Fred VanVleet + Dillon Brooks + KD, when they already have so-called future stars Sengun and Jalen G? All y'all that said Sean Marks should've been fired.... SHADDUPP!!!

RJ, IQ, Evan Fournier, and grimes 4 unprotected 1st rd picks 1 Milwaukee 1st 2 2nd rd picks For (potentially) OG and Mikal, who are 2 3&D wings who are entering their primes

If they Keep OG gah damn!! That’d be crazy. East looking slightly more tougher, already were just alot injuries in the east last couple seasons

If they can pay OG they gonna be nice af this season and can beat anybody in the east 💯💯💯

I have been wanting Bridges to the Knicks for a while now. I just never thought the Nets would do it. I think this trade is harsh, but fair. Knicks gave up late first round picks for someone who will work in their system, and didn't hurt their rotation to do it. That's how you gotta build a contender these days. Fuck them picks, and then when it ends, blow up the team for someone else's picks. (It also discourages tanking. :D) They gotta bring back OG to make it work though, since they gave up so much for OG, and they gave up so much for Bridges. If Bridges is just a replacement for OG, that makes it a bad trade, since the benefit is in the synergy of having OG and Bridges. I also think that Randle is expendable now. If they can trade him for a good center, or for cap space so they can resign IHart, then that would be best. Hope Mitchel is healthy next year too, despite Embiid's best efforts.

Yes Knicks did give up a lot of picks but hey at least Mikal is not an injury prone player, can defend and can shoot the ball also Knicks chemistry going to be insane

Man i‘m exited for the Knicks i hope they will make at least the Eastern Conference Finals.

Villanova Knicks‼️

Man the knicks really want to win now. That is an insane amount of picks for a very good role player. That being said I do believe they just leapfrogged the bucks with this move (arguable even before the move), and as a celtics fan I admit I'm starting to sweat right now.

a crunch time lineup of Brunson, Devincenzo, Hart, Bridges, Anunoby with Hartenstein/Randle/McBride for flexibility options should definitely have celtics/76ers worried for next year.. granted they sign and keep everyone, maybe randle is expendable atp? or keep him and just have some OG insurance during the regular season so he can actually play under Thibs in the playoffs lol. Hart,Brunson and Bridges should be good for the regular szn/playoffs but they do have some solid depth and are definitely a series contender

They still have two picks in tomorrow’s draft as well as Julius Randle. I don’t think they’re done

The Q is did they do this because they are going to lose OG and will now focus on IHart or do they plan to keep OG? Either way I think it's not a bad gamble by the Knicks -- they think this is their chance and they are going all in. Yes, it's an overpay but those picks weren't going to get them to the finals unless they used them in a trade -- non-lottery picks don't get you rookie all stars, they get you developing players that need time.

He can definitely flourish in that 3rd or 4th option. His defense, and chemistry will take him far in his role. Just keep OG!!

Knicks got 5 first round picks in the next 3 drafts we gon be aii

Most of those picks are going to be in the late 20s, people are only looking at the quanity of the picks but the quality of the picks arent great, still a good haul for the Nets

As a Suns fan I like it. It gives me hope there may be a way out of basketball purgatory

If the Knicks, those first 3 first round picks really don’t matter because they want to go all in on this core, those late teens, low 20s picks weren’t going to change things for them. The only ones i feel like could be costly are the 2029 and 2031 picks but if they get a finals appearance or multiple ECF’s then it’s still worth it

Idk if this is a hot take but I think this trade makes Randle expendable and since resigning OG is gonna cost them they’ve gotta clear some cap to avoid the second apron. It feels like Randle is about to be traded, maybe for a Hartenstein replacement. This is partly based on Randle being statistically one of the worst playoff players in history though and I don’t think NYK sees that as unfixable. Who knows though I’m just some guy

the only picks that may matter are 29 and 31. if you think they knicks will stink in those years fine. the rest will probably be late 1st rd picks. not a big deal.

Draft picks are a crap shoot in this league. No one can depend on a draft pick, but several can produce a good player. It also takes time and hard work, something many aren’t prepared to do. Mikal is an established top player and is going to a place he loves, with teammates he already has a history with. This is a good trade for the Knicks

It would be such a Knicks thing to do to trade away the farm for OG and Bridges just for OG to leave in free agency and for the Knicks to only be slightly better than they were last year.

Could you imagine if the Mavs were just willing to pay Brunson? Imagine this mavs team in the finals with a trio of Luka, Kyrie and Brunson

Huge win for Knicks

Fire sale! We're also trying to unload BEN SIMMONS too! EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!!

Ima say Mikal with Brunson and Randle taking up attention, he's putting up at least 18 a game

When you give up more draft picks than it took to get Kevin Durant, to get a role player(albeit a very good one), you know you messed up. Knicks gonna Knick

For the Nets this was the right move they clearly weren’t going anywhere with Bridges as their best player and no one wants to come to Brooklyn in free agency. So it was better that they get some of their picks back from us and start the rebuild. Now did the Knicks give up too much for Bridges. Yes they did but it’s not a bad move on their part because they got a perfect 3 and D versatile wing that fits perfectly next to Burnson. The Knicks are trying to win now so those picks might not be that good in the coming years. They have a shot since besides Boston the Eastern conference is still pretty weak, As for my rockets they are trying to go star hunting I have no interest in KD rather go after Booker. But it’s smart for them to see how the Suns do this season. Because if the Suns are a mess this upcoming season and they get bounced in the first round. Booker and KD could ask out and that’s better for us because those picks become valuable and we can probably make a deal with the Suns in case they want to start a rebuild. What a crazy few minutes and the draft haven’t started yet lol

The knicks are in win now mode. Picks don't do a thing to help you get a ring at least any time soon. I think this actually is a good deal for them especially if they can find a way to keep OG and Ihart. I can't help but think Mitch and Randle could be on the trade block for the right pieces or a least to free up some $$.

Good move the Knicks had so many picks. Need to bring OG back

The Knicks have also re-signed OG Anunoby for five years, $212.5 million. Talk is that Hartenstein is walking. The Thunder might give him a good deal.

Leon rose is a genius. He knows what he’s doing. He’s not making this move unless he’s 100% sure this is the move.

Wait a minute. We're putting so much emphasis on the Knicks draft picks that they used in the trade but the Knicks have traded out of the first round the past couple of seasons. Sounds to me like they weren't that focused on drafting which is why this "HAUL" isn't a big deal for the Knicks. Something to keep in mind

Gotta think the Knicks aren’t done, if they can get pen to paper with OG what does a Sign and trade look like for them 🤔

Mikal’s been an Ironman which is perfect for Thibs, you’ve picked up an elite 3 & D guy, and the day to day culture is going to be world class. You HAVE to keep OG to make this work. Then it’s an intriguing all in move with some other potential trade pieces in play with Randle and Robinson to round things out. I like this as long as OG comes back to make the Hart-Bridges-OG wing core.

As a Knicks fan, I gotta say, I am super skeptical of this move. I think the most important thing the organization could have done was to run it back with the same group. There's now a very likely chance they cannot make it work with either or even both Ihart and Og. I'm not sure who made the call to sell the future for someone who's redundant and in my opinion overall worse than Og, but it's a bad bad sign. When you're a GM you can't make moves like this. They fell into the mistake of making a move based on emotions and hype and not pure basketball, everyone in the league knew they would be looking at this so the nets were able to price gouge mikal and the Knicks got played.

Those are all late round picks. and the Knicks still have 3 draft picks this year alone that will get traded and still have first moving forward. 4 of the picks they gave up are useless, and 2028 is a swap . The draft is called lottery for a reason .The new salary cap 2nd tier makes this a really good trade. The Nets had Harden KD and Kyrie and couldn't win picks wont change disfunction .

they need braandon ingram or kyle kuzma who adds length and can create for themselves and others

This team talent wise screams Bad Boys pistons. Not in playstyle but, elite PG leading the team, surrounded by incredibly productive, some border all star level players stretching onto the bench with a defensive emphasis.

The point is what was the point getting Mikal Bridges and given all those draft picks if they can’t even go against the Boston Celtics I don’t understand this at the end at the end of the day you gonna need a superstar back and go against Boston Celtics

Don’t forget Mitchell Robinson if he’s healthy!!

You’d think the knicks just traded for Wemby 😂😂

This is a terrible trade, especially considering how screwed they are if og walks, especially especially considering jalen brunson and julius randle both arent strangers to injuries, cant wait to see brooklyn win the 2031 finals lol

Mama Durant is a Hakeem fan girl , kd has ties to Texas. With the right money and negotiating Durant could end up in Houston

All the Villanova boys are back 😊

2:55 I had happily forgot about Randle…

Sorry -- that's just too many picks for Mikal Bridges. 😅 That's what you trade to get Jokic .... Are the Knicks going to sign og anunoby and Hartenstein ....?

Nets were smart to cash in on bridges after learning he can't be the #1 even helped them grab their 1st back so they can tank when they are mid again . Yall not ready for cam Johnson taking 20 shots a night next year 😂😂

Y’all are buggin if you think Leon made this move without knowing that OG is re-signing

I hope they keep everyone

The Nets can FINALLY rebuild after their 2013 blunder

I can sleep happy now! 😊

Knicks have a 5 out offensive lineup... making it harder to shutdown Brunson. Their kick and drive game will become lethal.

I believe in OG more than Randle. I don’t know if that’s smart, but that’s my gut feeling. I would rather trade Randle away and look for someone whose salary works.

He wanted to be there so bad lol

Knicks might be 2025 champs

Is chemistry worth 4 first rounders?

This feels like a terrible move. But I’m happy the Knicks did it and not the Thunder.

There's not much draft picks can do for you if you're trying to take a team from good to championship level in my opinion.

I think it’s worth it, might just make me a Knicks fan

Ladies and gentleman welcome to the offseason

If they keep OG, they’re better than the Celtics man. Especially considering how hard it is to go back to back after having a sense of accomplishment and less of a drive. Combine that with the Knicks hungry after what happened last season, it’s gonna be entertaining at the very least

All that to lose in the 2nd round 🤣🤣🤣

If they are able to bring back OG and I Hart. Sheesh they have the 4 nova dudes, OG, Hart, McBride. Trade Randle and get Backup center and a couple other guys on minimum Tobruk out the roster. Sheesh

Most likeable team

I’m just a little confused, was this done to replace OG? I understand not wanting to possibly overpay, but i’d argue losing 5 FRP’s is a steeper price. Makes me think Randle could be on the move.

F those picks we trying win in next 2 yrs

funkydiabetic the only youtuber that has still photos as the youtube video and i dont care lol still a great basketball channel

No NBA team won a consecutive championships in history after trading 4 to 5 1st round picks for 1 non all star player😂. I know teams that sucks after trading their picks though😅

what if the knicks traded Randle for Kat would that even be possible? I could see that pushing them to a true contender

The team chemistry is going to be amazing, plus they are just copying the Celtics formula with this team except they have hartenstein and Robinson instead of KP and Al

Fun fact the nets won’t get the pick they got for Kyrie for 5 more years lol

This makes up for the KG Paul Pierce trade right??????

I hate the East so much. Kicks are crazy for this move

This could be the the nets version of what the Celtics did with their picks with the Paul pIerce KG trade

late first round picks are worthless

So between Mikal and Rudy Gobert, who broke the trade market harder?
