NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Seems expensive
Raps* fans: how can I make this about myself
Terrible trade.
Bridges ain't ****.
Back to irrelevance you go soon, Knicks.
Jay Wright should be assistant coach
thibs like what am i gonna do with ten 1st round picks anyway? i only use 6 players
must be a slow news day
You're sorry for what? He fits the team like a glove and has amazing synergy with NOVA BOYZ.
lol you. Knicks don't need ****ing draft picks.
Who the **** needs draft picks in the high 20s? Not a championship contending team that's already put together for a multi-year run.
steep price but Knicks are gonna be insanely good next year if they resign OG and Hartenstein
At least he won’t have to move.
thats a ton for bridges but similar to gobert deal, it was a young team and the team getting the picks isnt dumb...obv most of them prob wont be very good, knicks should be solid for awhile
id have to see knicks full roster/where theyre at after free agency to really give opinion on the deal
OG/Harten still FAs, randle/m rob in limbo as well, lot of moving parts still

Does Randle have any trade value ? I’ve been saying for years they need to trade Randle .
if they kept randle and played him at the 4 that means both hart and donte would be off the bench?
just seems unlikely after the years they just had
Hart and Donte will do whatever it takes to win, they've said it plenty of times.
It doesn't matter who starts, that's small minded basketball thinking. It matters who plays what minutes, and when, who closes. The types of varied lineups you can throw at opponents. The depth, true depth, to last through an 82 game season.
That's what matters.
Mikhail Bridges is like less than Donovan Mitchell who I thought the Knicks should stay away from.
They've ruined their flexibility to make a super huge trade. This is their team now and I don't think it's enough to flirt past the ecf.
if knicks have to lose hartenstein, or are trading mitch, i want them to draft edey
im HUGE on edey, hes only been playing basketball for 6 years and has made strides every year
hes working on being more mobile, hes gonna shoot 3s, and hes ****ing MASSIVE inside.
knicks still own #24 and #25 picks... i see a yahoo mock for edey to go #19. Looks like they could trade up around there and land him.
19. Toronto Raptors
Zach Edey, C
Ht./Wt.: 7-4, 300 pounds | Class: Senior | Purdue
Edey showed every scout and executive at the combine that he can hit 3s at a pretty consistent rate during the shooting drills. What’s most attractive is his size and the way he can anchor a defense, but teams will be cautious taking him, with opponents likely hunting him in screens every time down the court and drawing favorable mismatches. Edey could go as high as 14 to Portland, with many around the league anticipating the Toronto native being off the board by 20.

the 2019 celtics say hello
but itll be an interesting week to see how knicks round this thing out
im generally in favor of dealing tons of picks for players as i think picks are overrated and it is harder than ever to identify which 19 year old is going to pan out
mikal bridges is definitely pushing it though....he's more of a #3 on a contender and he would be more like the #2 on knicks
