Knicks acquire Mikal Bridges, Lakers draft Dalton Knecht 17th overall | NBA | THE HERD

and I got to start with my Knicks cuz this is as exciting a time as we’ve seen with the New York Knicks maybe since the mid90s with Patrick euwing folks the Knicks Big Winners trading for male Bridges they are going all in on chemistry male Bridges was had for five draft picks okay we’ll get to that shortly but I’ve got to start with I absolutely love what my Knicks are doing they’re D now the Villanova Knicks because they got four guys in Brunson dant chenzo Bridges and Har who won a title in Villanova back uh maybe like seven eight years ago and now they’re reunited and it feels so good in New York I know a lot of people are poo pooing the deal the Knick’s overpaid we’ll get to that shortly but I need to start with something because it feels like for months on this show we’ve been talking about how the Knicks have their they’ve got the draft assets they could go for a number one they can go grab Carl Anthony towns the Knicks can go after joeel embiid maybe we can pluck him from Philadelphia what about Paul George all we’ve been hearing is hey the Knicks need either a number one star or a number two to go with Jaylen Brunson who maybe isn’t a one maybe he’s a 1B and all that nonsense folks the Knicks are disrupting or attempting to disrupt the NBA hierarchy of you need Superstars to win in the league you need one of the five or 10 best players you need the shack and Kobe you need the joic the the multiple time MVP you need that Superstar and the next are saying not so fast my friends there’s another way to skin a cat as they like to say we’ve seen this throughout the economy at large outside of sports right we saw the internet disrupt traditional media we then saw social media disrupt the internet and websites and now we’re starting to see AI taking over disrupting Google and their dominance in Search and I mean listen in the uh vehicle Market we’re seeing EVS disrupting automobiles in the NF fell look what the 49ers are doing hey we know everybody needs a quarterback and then you build around the QB why don’t we try something different why don’t we try building the infrastructure and then plugging in a Jimmy Garoppolo a brock pie and let’s see how that works out and they’ve been to a couple Super Bowls the Knicks are doing the same thing we don’t need no Superstar we can build with chemistry and what they’ve got with this team in New York right now folks their odds shifted after the bridges trade they have now the third best odds to win the title after Boston and Denver this is a massive shock to the system and listen you don’t need to go far to see what Minnesota did when they said we’re going to trade a bunch of picks for Rudy gobear they were openly mocked didn’t go great the first year what happened in year two they were built to take down Denver and that’s just what they did in the postseason goar matched up with joic it went swimmingly Minnesota to the Conference Finals if you look at this New York roster one through nine folks they match up great with the Boston Celtics you now have between Bridges and anobi the two best defensive Wings in the league to match up with brown and Tatum then you’ve got your point guard in Brunson and oh by the way giving up five draft picks I saw a headline on a website Nicks fleeced for Mel Bridges no time Allstar Mel Bridges for five first round picks are you crazy doesn’t really matter the Knicks are built now to battle Boston New York is clearly the second best team in the East that’s undeniable I don’t care what Joel embiid does Joel embiid adds Paul George to Tyrese Maxi and the kid McCain who I like in the draft it’s not going to matter the Nicks are better one through nine they kept Julius Randall ah Jason Julius Randall come on he’s trade bait maybe he’s also a two-time all NBA player in the last three years jul Julius Rand is a very solid player to go with and anobi and bridges and oh by the way you got glue guy Josh Hart you got Dante Devan chenzo folks I know people are saying they’re going to lose hartenstein the center who was invaluable but I want to remind everybody what they did last night the Knicks in the draft with 25 they got a a draft in stash European player and then at 26 they traded it so now they’re able to save I think I saw the number was $3 million if that is able to keep hartenstein that’s another win for the Knicks and I’m telling you right now I remember those 90s Nicks teams remember I was not a Jordan fan I was a Knicks fan born in New York I love New York this team is ready to make a run like the Patrick euwing did team did in the 90s I love the New York Knicks and what they’ve done this draft week now let’s pivot to my also my other team the Los Angeles Lakers Jay how are you a Nicks Lakers fan I was born in New York and then the first couple games I went to as a young guy were Nicks Lakers as Fortune would have it and I fell in love with Magic Johnson and the showtime Lakers and a lot has been written about the Lakers in the last 24 hours they get one of the steals in the draft in Dalton Connect Now Colin likes to make fun of me okay for watching and gambling on college basketball uh All Season he’s Jay what are you doing I I love me some college hoops and I’ll tell you right now Dalton connect was one of the best stories in college basketball last season this is a guy who went to Junior College he grew three inches from like a 63 point guard to a 66 Wing he went to the Big Sky he went from second Team all Big Sky to first team allamerican at Tennessee he is an assassin when it comes to shooting I think he scored 38 against Purdue in the NCA tournament which they lost I think he gave UNC 40 dropped like 39 on Kentucky this guy is a sniper he kind of sort of Might remind the Lakers new coach JJ reick of uh himself and he was nearly right a lot of the mock drafts that are respected had connect as a top 10 pick some top six now I’ve been doing the NBA draft for a long time I didn’t have connect in the lottery because I know the history he’s 23 years old the history of 23 year olds in the lottery is littered with failure a lot of that has to do with hey this is a guy who was 22 23 as a college basketball player playing against teenagers of course he’s going to slaughter them and so those guys drafted High usually end up being massive failures but connect fell out of the lottery and oh by the way he fell into the lap of LeBron and Anthony Davis pretty good place to fall now reic if you if you guys recall was a guy at Duke who was an absolute sniper one of the best scorers I’ve ever seen in college basketball but his his you know prototype was like and this guy can’t who can he defend J macki might not be able to defend you in your men’s league who could dalta connect defend it’s a different story folks it’s a different league right now you want those switchable Wings will people pick on dton connect maybe maybe but you know what he’s got Anthony Davis behind him I can tell you right now unequivocally Dalton connect will be a key rotation player for the Lakers this season unlike the guy they drafted Hood chafino last year who did absolutely nothing he was one of those upside plays so connect is a big win which leads me to JJ reick and connect I think it’s going to be a good marriage I’m almost certain that connect kind of pushed for him uh or sorry reic pushed for connect but something reck said at his presser was kind of glossed over and I want to touch on it because I absolutely love this topic kind of love JJ reic now engagement farming what a phrase oh my gosh can I borrow that JJ can I use that because it’s incredible and it’s actually spoton you guys I listen once he said that he was critically panned social media columnists all the traditional media they ripped him you don’t come out slinging f-bombs in your introductory press conference but reic claims to not care now I will remind everybody within the last year JJ reck was part of that engagement farming economy uh that is the sports media and he’s not wrong hi everybody it’s me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the
