These Are Not The Same New York Knicks

After trading for Mikal Bridges and re-signing OG Anunoby, the Knicks solidified themselves as one of the most complete NBA rosters.

Can’t believe how good the Knicks are. We used to have Jared Jeffries & Malik Rose 😮‍💨 I hope we don’t ruin this

[Michael-vwcg]

That small ball lineup is about to be so crazy

[resinct]

We saw Randle buy in more on the defensive end last year when OG came, now with Mikal I think he can improve again on that end

[Zephyrlight]

Imagining having Mikhail Bridges and Jalen Brunson gives the Knicks the best celebrations of the league. Damn

[KNRS]

I used to think having Tatum and Brown defending a PnR is terrifying. Have fun when Anunoby and Bridges are defending the PnR while you can have your big in the corner to help or clog the gaps.

If they keep Hartenstein I think they win the East. NBA players always talk about how hard it is to go back to back after having that sense of accomplishment and just a little less drive to win. Meanwhile the Knicks are as hungry as it gets and built almost perfectly. They also just drafted Tyler Kolek. This is gonna get interesting but if I had to bet I’d honestly put my money on the Knicks to win the East. They almost made the ECF with players starting who will now be on their bench and that’s wild

Long time Phoenix fan here. Great breakdown on Mikal - he is best suited as a 3 and D specialist, not the primary playmaker like the Nets were doing. When he gets to play off the ball he can focus more on backdoor cuts which he is good at also; he's basically the perfect 3 and D wing.

[DirectionlessStudent]

On point. Mikal will thrive with the Knicks next year, because the Knicks don't need him to be their #1 or even #2 option on offense and that's why they wanted him so much -- he perfectly fills a key role for them as a perimeter defender, cutter, and stretcher of opposing defenses. The only thing that worries me is the loss of IHart -- I think he was more valuable last season than many fans realize.

[Alice_Walls-lve]

I think they are the only team that can really challenge the Celtics in ten east, maybe if the sixers add good players this off-season.

[rah]

That pull up middy is what og needs to add to his game

[zachcomposto]

Randle was a much better defender after OG came to the Knicks. I’d also argue his strength on that end is his strength in general. He won’t get pushed around on that end, it’s all about getting him to buy in

[hammerbros]

I forgot Bridges was this elite on defense. Knicks are gonna be scary next season!

[liamseekamp]

Team is stacked. Having Divincenzo Hart and mitch all coming off the bench is crazy when all 3 could Snag 6th man and are arguably above average to most starters in the leagur

[NguyenNguyen-xvli]

Another amazing video breaking down actual benefits and analysis with examples shown.

[dmulumba]

If they can resign Hartenstein, then we are in for a truly elite rivalry between the Knicks and the Celtics

[andrewabraham]

This Knicks team is versatile both on offense and defense and they have no weakness.

[nbapbaupdate]

Mikal Bridges & Coach Thibs perfect combo

[tramerecornelius]

I honestly think this team just became extremely playoff proof on defense. There’s not a team in that conference they can’t at least slow down. They just need to figure out Julius randle

[nellynel]

This Knicks team is built with dawgs who want to win by any means. The best part is Jalen and Randle have another very skilled role player in Mikal that can cause havoc on both ends of the floor. That moves the needle for me the Knicks will bring nyc a championship sooner than later 🏆

[lrdmiddlefinger]

Even though I'm a Celtics fan I have a soft spot for the Knicks & I'm stoked with the squad they've managed to put together. Can't wait to see how they look with Bridges & a healthy OG.
