[Begley] The Mikal Bridges deal came together quickly after Bridges informed the Nets that he wanted to be a Knick. Bridges was prepared to sign with NYK and his side was prepared to use that leverage to keep other teams from trading for him, per SNY sources.

no way is that the “forced my way out” package???
the knicks coulda waited like 3 days and let him stomp his feet a little more and got a huge discount wtf lmao
that’s actually wild. don’t get me wrong, knicks fans should be excited about this and their team is gonna be SICK. given the way the apron is gonna work it’s not like they’d be able to use those picks for anything else really anyway, but still. that doesn’t seem like the best GM work. coulda at least gotten some protections lol
Power of friendship really exists in the NBA
Dame: “SO HE CAN DO IT BUT NOT ME?”
I’m so happy for Knicks fans

now the nets just have to find a way to get all of their own picks back
Knicks had leverage and still gave up this much lmao
Bro demanded the Knicks and still costed 5 first rounders LMAO
Saw that SpongeBob meme of him watching his boys having fun and said enough is enough
They reunited the squad. Wow.
So without the leverage how many picks would it have been?

That aint the forcing my way out package. Thats a good return for the nets
Holy shit they actually did it.
Nova Knicks in full blast!
That was the only way the Nets were ever trading him.
lol so Mikal is the Donovan Mitchell everyone’s been talking about
They’re all in. No one really cared about the Mavs, Wizards, or pistons picks as they aren’t valuable. Time to see if this Knicks team can compete with the Celtics. Villanova boys!
He wanted to keep that NYC apartment
They actually fucking pulled it off wtf
He demanded only the knicks and it still cost that much? Damn!
That’s a very steep price for a non all star
Looks like it’s still bridges that separate these teams.
This sucks, man. The other Nets fans can convince themselves that that this is a good return, and maybe in 4-6 years it will be, but right now it means the Nets are going to be absolutely awful for the next few years.
“I want to be a Knick”
“We want the entire farm.”
“Deal.”
Knicks still have a first round pick in 26, 28, and 2030 plus I trust our scouting to still get quality players in the second round Knicks will be ok draft wise
“Prepared to sing with NYK”
… as in 2 years from now when he’s a free agent at age 30?
OG,hart, bridges? Yeah no one getting passed that defense
What does “prepared to sign with nyk” mean for a guy who is not a free agent for literally years lol.
If they get a chip, their 30 for 30 will be such a feel good story 🥹
Congrats on Bridges making the varsity team
And the Nets still got a huge haul for him. Seems like it worked out for everyone.
Literally always tamper.
C O L L U S I O N
Why did the Knicks give up so much then if they were rigging the market
