Knicks Offseason Trade Target? NBA Insider Pushing For NY To Make MEGA Trade… | Knicks News
Multiple reports indicate that the New York Knicks are looking to Target an Allstar or Superstar player this off season but that begs the question what player who could the New York Knicks be holding all of these assets for who are they targeting well at least according
To one NBA Insider he’s pushing for the New York Knicks to try and trade for a Brooklyn Net and you know who I’m talking about Mel Bridges we’re going to break down exactly who said that and why they’re making this statement at this point in time all of this and so much

New York Knicks need to Target for a trade this off seon and you already know given the thumbnail of the video video that player is Mikel Bridges somebody who I’ve praised and wanted on this team for a number of years ever since the New York Knicks could have potentially
Drafted him that’s when I’ve wanted Mel Bridges on this team but when he was drafted and he was traded over to the Phoenix Suns I already knew there was going to be nothing that the New York Knicks could do to get him because he was going to play well which he did he
Was going to be very good and impactful for that team which he was and then when he was traded he was traded for an Allstar type of package with KD involved now he’s a Brooklyn Net we already know the villain NOA connection between Jaylen Brunson Josh Hart Dante de
Vinchenzo and Mel Bridges so because of that because he plays in Brooklyn and all of those guys play with the New York Knicks it’s clear there’s always going to be that relationship and that connection there but because of how good Mel Bridges is and in my opinion he
Would fit this Knicks team like a glove him in the back court with Jaylen Brunson with Dante de venzo and Josh Hart Off the Bench and then you have OG an anobi as your wing defensively I don’t know how you’re going to stop the New York Knicks and offensively you
Better pray because there’s so many people on that roster who can shoot who can score in a number of ways and who can give you lights out scoring whenever you need them to do it that’s why I would love for the New York Knicks to make the trade for Mel Bridges so if
He’s the offseason Target that the New York Knicks have in mind I’m all in for it I want them to do that and if your NBA Insider Steph Bondi with the New York Post you’re hoping for that too he gave a subtle hint at what the New York
Nicks should do come this off season Steph Bondi tweeted out the following the next guest on Jaylen Brunson and Josh Hart’s podcast which by the way is very very good you should check it out it’s called the roommates podcast definitely check that out their next guest is Mel Bridges and then he follows
That up by saying the following no reason for him to say this by the way zero reason for him to say the following but he just wanted to mention it just because the Knicks by the way still have all their first round picks to use this summer all their first round picks to
Use this summer yes they do because even though they added ogn and Obi preus saua boan banovic and Alec Burks they gave up no first round picks gave up a lot of second round picks gave up RJ Barrett gave up Quinton Grimes gave up Emanuel quickly gave up all the kids but in
Return they’ve set themselves up to make a superstar addition come this off season it all depends on who that Superstar is and if that player becomes available and If the team that has that Superstar available would be willing to do business with the New York Knicks because even though the Knicks have all
Their first round picks they own all of them and they have all of those protected first round picks from other teams that they own the thing we have to consider here is the Nicks are a very good team they’re likely going to be a very good team whether they make a trade
Or not this off season for the next few seasons that means the picks that they have those first round picks they’re still valuable don’t get me wrong but they’re likely late round picks and if you’re another team and you’re trading away a superstar or an All-Star player
You’re going to want picks but if you’re getting late round picks you’re likely going to ask for more first round picks the only good news here is that the Knicks own all their first round picks so even if the other team wants to ask for something ludicrous like five first
Round picks the Knicks technically could do that because they have all of their first round picks and they can trade all of them if necessary and as you can see here Bondi basically hinted at the same thing basically stating that the Knicks have all their first round picks this
Summer to to use to make a star trade for any star that becomes disgruntled in the league if that is Mel Bridges then you never know what happens now why am I mentioning that with Mel Bridges is he disgruntled I wouldn’t say he’s disgruntled but you do remember when the
New York Knicks took on the Brooklyn Nets early on this season right you do remember that the Knicks dominated them and I remember they were in barklay but it didn’t feel like they were in Barkley right because that crowd was so hot and So Pro the Knicks it felt
Like a mini MSG and that didn’t go unnoticed because as you can see here Mel Bridges heard all of that and he said the following I feel like every person in here feels like it’s not fun when you feel like you’re at an away game at home that’s for any person
Sitting here any person alive again this is Mel Bridges on the Nick fans Presence at barklay Center I’m not saying he’s disgruntled but but he doesn’t sound happy either and if that continues and they continue to lose games they continue to spiral out of control and maybe Mel Bridge’s value itself maybe
Drops a little bit because this season even though he stepped it up just a little bit these last few games for the entire season this year he’s been pretty bad his numbers have gone down and it doesn’t look like he’s working well with that current Brooklyn Nets team they
Have to build around him better if he’s going to be the centerpiece of that team if he’s not going to be the centerpiece of that team then they need to go out and get that centerpiece either way it’s not my problem I don’t care what happens to the Brooklyn Nets honestly if they
Spiraled out of control and dived right into disaster I would still be smiling from ear to ear because my Knicks this New York Knicks team backed by this New York Knicks front office with Leon Rose Gerson Rosas and worldwide West and we are doing things that nobody thought
This Nick’s front office would be able to do the Knicks have been put back on the map we’re legit contenders this season and we still can get better because we own all our first round picks and we still have the players and assets available to throw into any trade to get
That Allstar or Superstar if they become disgruntled lehon Rose has set this up perfectly he’s done so and I think he deserves some kudos for executive of the year and I’m saying that somebody who’s openly criticized him over the last couple of years because even though I’ve
Understand being patient in my opinion I felt sometimes he was too patient but you know what I have nothing to say now because it looks like it all worked out in the end and again this guy over here Mel Bridges who’s gonna be a guest on the Jaylen Brunson and Josh har
Roommates podcast so definitely check that out because I’m sure they’re going to ask him about why he didn’t join the New York Knicks and honestly if he would join in New York Knicks but look at his face right here look at his face does he look happy everybody else is smiling and
He’s not smiling he’s not happy that man right there is a guy who knows all of his boys are thriving they’re playing for the New York Knicks they’re doing well and he wishes he could be a part of it he wishes he can join that Nova Nick
Connection he wishes he can thrive in that happiness as well too because I know he wants to play with those guys look how happy Jaylen Josh Hart is even the host Matt he’s happy everybody in this picture is Smiles happy they’re excited Mel no Smiles not really kind of
Nah no he’s not happy clearly you can look at his face he is not happy talk about a pitcher saying a thousand words that one spoke volumes to me and honestly if you’re not happy Mel and Shawn marks if you know this already too maybe go ahead and look around the
League and see if you can move Mel Bridges for a right deal maybe you don’t want to maybe you don’t think it makes sense but if Brooklyn continues to lose and Mel bridges’ value continues to drop because he doesn’t look good with the unit that you’ve surrounded him with
Then I think you might want to entertain a trade now honestly if you’re asking me is it likely it’s about maybe a 5% chance that it happens because this is the Brooklyn Nets we’re talking about it’s also a trade between the Nets in the Knicks that’s something that’s
Likely not going to happen it’s also somebody getting better and a team getting a little bit worse because if that trade happens even though the Knicks would give up a lot of first round picks if they get Mel Bridges and add him to this roster they’re going to
Be dangerous for a number of years I don’t think that the Nets want to help the Knicks in that regard either so I don’t see a trade like this happening even though it all would make sense the fit would make sense Mel Bridges would look great under Tom thibo he would be a
Defensive monster for this Knicks team he would look amazing in the playoffs as well too I would love the fit I’m sure a lot of you guys watching this video would love to fit Mel Bridges for me is one of the missing pieces for this roster he fits it perfectly as a
Backcourt person if you want to play him as a wing he can also play with the reserves as well if you want to give other people rest Mikel Bridges can play multiple positions he can defend the multiple positions he can also score very good as as well he’s a great
Shooter I know this year he’s on a down year but if you remember what he did last year when he was traded and all the things he was doing with Phoenix the fact that he’s an Iron Man he doesn’t like missing games as well I would love
Mel Bridges in a New York Knicks uniform I think it would fit him perfectly he would Dawn it well I think the New York Knicks fan base would absolutely get behind him he would become a fan favorite instantly and I think Jaylen Brunson Dante de vinchenzo Mel Bridges
If you can keep Julie Randall and other pieces on this roster along with that core they’re going to do damage in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs in the NBA Finals yes I’m saying that if that was the roster if they could execute a trade like that but even more
Than that the unity the chemistry and how good this Knicks team would be not only for this season but for years to come that’s why you make that move and that’s why you invest in a player like Mel Bridges who again I want to point out he’s not happy I’m sorry everybody
In this picture is smiling and he has no smile on his face he’s not happy and if the Brooklyn Nets continue to play bad he might continue to be unhappy he might become that disgruntled player that disgruntled star so Leon I hope you’re keeping that side eye on Mel Bridges I
Hope you’re keeping the side eye on Phoenix I hope you’re keeping the side eye on Dallas and all of these other teams because a star is going to become disgruntled if their team doesn’t do what they need to do this season all the New York Knicks have to do is be patient
And wait the good thing for them is they are very very good at doing that because under Lon Rose that’s basically what they’ve been doing and honestly if you’re looking at the roster right now it looks like it’s been successful but what about you guys what do you think
About NBA Insider Steph Bondi basically hinting and pushing for the New York Knicks to go out here and trade for Mel Bridges let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed
It and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace

NOW WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE ONLY 2 UNTOUCHABLE PLAYERS ON THE KNICKS BRUNSON AND OG ALL THE REST CAN BE TRADED AT ANY TIME UNDERSTAND ANY QUESTIONS
I'll give you a buttermilk beating.
Mikal Bidges and Halibuten BOTH should have been on the Knicks . Instead they got Kevin Knox and Obi Toppin.
who are you giving up in a trade for mikal??
Mikal bridges is the guy that Brunson wants this is the missing piece to a chip
WE'RE NOT GETTING BRIDGES…!! IMAGINE THE NETS TRAIDING THEIR BIG BROTHER THEIR BEST PLAYER…! CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PACKAGE IT WOULD TAKE..?? LETS SEE … RANDLE BYE 👋.. PROBABLY BOJAN… AND MAYBE A PLAYER LIKE HART OR DANTE. PLUS 3 FIRST ROUNDERS..! SOMETHING CRAZY 🤪 LIKE THAT IM SURE.
I mean if we can somehow keep RANDLE,. O.G., and Devo. And maybe traid a Hart, bojan , and someone young like a Mcbride and 5 first Rounders would be A GIFT 🎁 FOR THE KNICKS..! SO BASICALLY a traid would look like this. BROOKLYN GETS : Josh Hart, Bojan, Miles Mcbride, and 4 first rounders 2 unprotected. 😮😮😮
KAT is going to be the target!
We are good with the players we have rn but I wouldn't mind Mikal Bridges because I still think he's the missing piece 🔶️🔷️🗽🏀
3 team trade!
Mikal Bridges – DONE!!!! I've said it before – the Knicks should NOT use all it's assets, i.e. first round picks on superstars over 30 years old and past their prime. Mikal is 27, plays both sides of the ball and comes from Villanova [can we say CHEMISTRY together] plus he comes from the East Coast, PHILLY, which means he's TOUGH. To heck with crosstown rivals not doing business with each other. The Nets and Knicks should approach this as a win-win for both teams and making NYC the basketball mecca that it should be for the next decade. I'm tire of LA and the other West Coast teams. Let's get this DONE – GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!
Knox was picked up before Bridges on the draft right?
If he really wanted to come to the NYK all he would have to do is ask for a trade and say you want to go to the NYK. Also Sean Marks said 5 first round picks. Is he on crack? Sorry. It's a pass.
Saving all them assets for a dude whose not even an allstar is wild
🔥🔥if we Kant get Bridges.. Let's get Booker or Spider 🌞😈🔥🔥
Jaylen Branson continues to solidify himself as a star in the league… Because he just happens to be a Knick doing what he’s doing, while scores of folks are watching, because there’re are tons of Knick fans all over the league if Makail says he wants out of Brooklyn, Nets may take as many first rounders from Knicks as they can, plus Boyan to give them a veteran 3 n D wing who shoots at least 40% from 3. It could happen.
I think Leon rose is quietly building around Brunson it’s obvious that 4th Villanova missing infinity stone is across the pond in Brooklyn I’m sure his main target is still Donovan Mitchell but if nothing budges it’s definitely Mikal bridges who turns 28 in August
The nets are playing a poker face because I’m sure they want to start a bidding war in the summer
WHY DONT YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT THE NETS WOULD NNNNEEEEEVVVVEEEEERRRRR HELP THE KNICKS GET BETTER IM SICK OF THIS TAKE GIVE ME A BREAK. You can give them a million picks…THE WONT HELP THE KNICKS!
Awesome Troy…keep up the great work
There’s two options the Knicks can go with in the off-season….
First option; Donovan Mitchell. This tree can easily happen now with Bojan Bogdanovich as our centerpiece in the trades and he will actually fit Cleveland and still be in the mix in the playoffs and Darius Garland will be the only ballhandler now. And the Knicks fans that’s tripping about age Donovan Mitchell is 27 so we’re right back to everybody being under the age of 30 and get a star status player at the same time.
Second option; Joel Embiid and Mikal Bridges. I believe Leon Rose can pull off this finesse and we get both our superstar and our Villanova Knicks agenda completed. Unfortunately, Mitch Robinson is the center that I choose to be involved in the trade I see him more as a starting center in the league with what he brings. And I like iHeart coming off the bench for Joel Embiid. Also, unfortunately, I’m pretty sure the Sixers wants to keep their front court strong so they might want Julius. So I believe it will be Mitchell, Robinson and Julius maybe one protected and and one unprotected pick for Joel Embiid. And Bojan and 4 picks for Mikail Bridges. Now Brooklyn has plenty of draft picks and they have a value piece to trade for Donovan Mitchell, which I’m pretty sure they’ll go for since we’re not getting him if this option happens with Joel Embiid and Mikail Bridges.
Jay Jay here I agree love him
would be a perfect fit, but I think Giannis is the real play.
I think they're going after Donovan Mitchell but let's see I wouldn't mind Bridges he absolutely good somebody that I wanted them to drafted but of course thanks to Phil Jackson we had a whole different direction
Ngl Mikal is the Nets core player why would they try and ship him out unless he was disgruntled which I dont think he is. He is a young star that the Nets can build around doesnt really add up if they would be willing to trade him….ESPECIALLY to the NYKs. #makeitmakesense
