    If they lose hartenstein that’s Gon be a big loss because he gave them energy n more opportunities by getting rebounds
  • @hdeodh
    I think the Knicks gave up so many picks was to keep their core intact.. They added a core piece in Bridges without losing any major players which is rare
  • @iponchoi
    Randle not being mentioned in these videos is crazy because omg is he a monster on this team!
  • @rjchilds84
    They keep Harkenstein & annunoby.. they competing fr
  • @DavidBagga
    It’s Gonna be fascinating to see if bridges’ game streak continues with Thibs coaching style. The league is better when the Knicks are better so this is gonna be fun to watch 🍿
  • @SaharaKnows
    I’ll take bridges over Mitchel or KD or Paul. Durable and plays both ends. Don’t take games off
  • The knicks were talking KD, Bron, PG,or Embiid………and ended up with Bridges lol
  • Now all we need is to sign OG get and either keep all of our bigs or sign 2 of em and another gaurd
  • Your wrong Bob it's finals or bust in NY. We have an all time defense now it's time to hoist our trophy. We beat boston in 7 this year with JR and OG
  • @bliqexplained
    Y’all don’t understand how good bridges is he was on that team that went to the finals
  • Nah they contenders, espn doesn’t know what they are talking about. Trust me everybody. Knicks are contenders and possible title champions
  • Man, I like Bridges but that is crazy to give up FIVE first round picks for him. I mean that is a trade you make for a top 15 player in the league.
  • @DanielRidore
    I think Bridges is a great fit because he plays both ways. He showed he can consistently score 20+ as well. With him added to Brunson, OG, and Randle that’s a strong core of scoring. Then you add in role players who star in their roles in Mitchell Robinson, Hart, and Donte and if they sign Hartenstein they definitely have a squad
  • @Xyz99899
    The Knicks don't know how to pick they made a smart move getting rid of those. The Knicks core that went to the playoffs are all from trades.
  • @elh3945
    The reaction to this trade reminds me of the Jalen Brunson doubt 2 yrs ago...everybody (myself included) WERE WRONG!!!
  • The difference between mikal playing with the nets and Knicks is he will be playing with his boys the same ones that won a chip together in college and mikal won’t have the stress of being a number 1 he has Randel and Brunson and the rest of the Knicks to help together they will form like Voltron mikal can be the 3rd scoring option
  • I like Bridges but i feel like he's been overvalued.. all those first round picks? He's always been a true professional so i hope he blossoms in NY.
  • Base on what they were able to accomplish, the addition of Mikal Bridges does give New York a chance to make noise, I don’t believe they will win the East or a championship but base on what they were able to accomplish with a number one guy in Brunson and now with a guy like Mikal Bridges who is also Thibs type of player, now they don’t need Josh Hart offensively like that, it is a bit of cause to pause with this team. They don’t have superstars that are seen as superstars but those players believe they are superstars and superstars in their roles.
  • @Shaolin_Chris
    Maybe we will get lucky and Hartenstein will take the minimum
