Ryan Clark is doing an awesome job distributing the convo and flow. I like him

[vincentramirez]

Congrats to the Knicks and their fans. They look fun to watch next year.

Leon Rose put on a clinic on how to build a franchise. Even after they pay everyone, they’ll still have draft picks, and everyone’s contracts are moveable.

[yappydabbad]

This is a great trade. Anyone focusing on the first round picks given up is missing the forest for the trees. Bridges and OG will lock up alot of players. Brunson is already a bucket getter and now you have a decent clutch player in bridges to help when needed. He also plays EVERY game.

[darkerknight]

The Knicks have a bench. People act like they don’t because the starters were injured. Donte, Hart, McBride, Mitch. Even Achuwa is a possibility if they lose Hartenstein. This team is ready to compete for a title

[verified.mycents]

Leon Rose has been brilliant at these team friendly contracts, but time has come to pay OG. Shout out to Jay Wright all his work continues to pay off. LETS GO KNICKS.

I kept saying there was no way to get Bridges out of Brooklyn and I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.

[akingwithwords]

“…his durability is spectacular…”

Thibodeau: hold my beer

The last Nets-Knicks trade was 41 years ago back in 1983.

Mikal's arms are sooo looong. If he plays 2 with OG at 3, we are locking teams down. I'm thinking he'll average 2+ steals and 1+ block per. Hart and Donte will be our super subs. We have multiple center-less small-ball options too. Crazy good fit. Extremely versatile roster.

[LordFleaBottom]

Big W for Knicks fans. They legitimized their place in the East as championship contenders. They’re better than Philly and Milwaukee and have widened their gap.

[abuhaadiyah]

It’s funny because Knicks still have two first round picks this year

[Esco-lqrb]

Dang, they got RC hosting now? That contract renewal must have been something

[shiningwizard]

Between the Celtics, Pacers, Knicks, Cavs, and I’ll throw in Orlando because I think they’re close to the conversation, the East is looking like a pretty interesting dogfight.

[darnelldarden]

Great trade. Knicks still have two first rounders today and 6 over the next 7. They needed another scorer and they also added another shooter and more defense

[iamhollywood]

Marks saying they need to fill out bench. Yes and no.
IF they keep OG that pushes Dante and Hart to bench. Along with Deuce. So that’s 8.
If they lose Hartenstein they need a replacement center. But Knicks played 6/7/8 last year. If they’re starting with 2 starters from end of last what now off bench. They are in good spot. Need to add a PF/C who can defend to add to bench.

[AmazingGuy]

Mikal will get even better with the Knicks coaches

[ICONPASZ]

Mikel Bridges will be a all star this year. Maker my words

[Realitychecks]

I love how teams are starting to construct solid teams now and straying away from super teams...absolutely love it...knicks still not going far though with thibs as coach....he turns everyone knees to ash....

[RC]

Getting a superstar that only plays 10-20 games per season not available in the playoffs is the worst. Best move by New York. Bridges is a star role player who can do a lot of things and always available.
