NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

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.

Unprotected is always a risk when blowing your load.

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 .

probably not, 1yr left on deal

but if you want my prediction i think he gets moved and they re-sign OG and hartenstein and thats their team

Who do they get for Randle ? Or would it just be picks?

If we keep Randle he might average 7 assists per game.

I say let's run it back!!!! keep Randle, Keep Mitch. LETS GO KNICKS!!!!

You have to pass the ball to get assists .

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.

Neither Thibs nor this GM will be there when those unprotected picks 7 years in the future come due. #FreeMoney

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.

from yahoo mock

Julius Randle has averaged 24.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 14 games with OG Anunoby in his career.

I say he'll average north of 6.0 assists next year if he's still on the Knicks.

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
