Picks are 2024 1st (Own) traded as a player on draft night, 2024 1st (DAL), 2025 1st (OWN), 2025 1st (MIL), 2026 1st swap, 2026 2nd (BRK), 2027 1st (Own). Of course I don’t want it to take 4-5 1sts to get the trade done but I would do it because I believe Mikal Bridges makes us into team that could beat absolutely anyone in a series. Imagine that big long starting lineup.
I’m of the belief that you can’t just replace Randle for a superstar like Booker or Mitchell and expect our team to be much better than if we just kept Randle in the first place. A better superstar fit like Giannis is just not gonna happen, Lauri would cost too much cause Danny Ainge is a prick, and Paul George is entering the season aged 34. If we don’t use our picks they’re just gonna get traded down the line for shittier picks with protections. Why not overpay to instantly become a top tier contender no question. We can’t sacrifice fit for talent, that’s not what made this team great in the first place and you see across the league just adding talent over fit doesn’t work anymore.

Fuck no. What do people think Mikal is? Guy wasn’t even an Allstar…
6 firsts is wild
I feel like you guys really really overrate this man Mikal lol, it’s cool that he went to Nova but he’s really not that good
Glad you on the couch with us
I dont want to dunk on Mikal because I think he is solid ut these all star type packages for a role player is crazy
Rather just get KCP or a shooter/3d guy like that off the bench and use our picks on young depth
you have 11 guys, and we all know thibs isn’t playing more than 9:
brunson/mcbride
divo/hart/burks
bridges/anunoby
randle/achiuwa
hartenstein/robinson
the obvious options to bench would be mcbride and/or burks and/or achiuwa and stash them in case of injuries. then we get something like:
brunson/mcbride
divo/hart
bridges/anunoby
randle/(+anunoby/hart/bridges minutes?)
hartenstein/robinson
idk why but something feels off about it.
Leon ain’t giving up 7 picks for anyone
You dudes are losing the plot.
Mikael is NOT worth that. Not even half.
Crazy.
Dudes a role player.
Wtf 😂
Mikal is nothing special
6 firsts is absurd
Also, put OG on a descending like Brunson
Leon Rose would not get fleeced like this lol.
Folks will say this is a bad trade; but they don’t understand the cap implications over the next two seasons.
To everyone dismissing this trade because it’s an overpay (which technically yes it absolutely is) I have 2 questions:
-Will these picks help us in the next 2-3 years remotely as much as Mikal will?
– If not Mikal, which player do we trade these picks for?
6 FRPs lol
Hartenstein is gonna get at least double that
im glad youre not our gm
Hartenstein walks with that low ball offer and we blow our whole war chest on Mike Bridges. Thank god you’re not running the team brother
I like it.
Who tf yall think Bridges is?
Dude is a very solid role player. This kinda haul for him is just wild.
6 1sts for Booker not for Bridges. Leon is patient and would not do this.
Ask your boss to give you something to do
Gobert ruined trade expectations
Sorry, and I know I’ll get hate here, but there’s no way I’m giving that money and years to OG.
Go back to work
I’d give up 4 Firsts for Mikal. One back.
Hartenstein is going to take a hometown discount as opposed to getting 80 mil from someone like OKC?
