Yeah the price will be as high or higher. Minimum 3 1sts for DJ, Garland or Young

Big fat over pay. 4 FRP and a swap. Especially with the new CBA.
If they don’t win it all or get close, they are basically fucked because they won’t even have assets to retool.
Edit: actually 4 Unprotected and 1 protected. Even bigger over pay ☠️

We should keep the picks but that’s bound to happen now with this trade happening.

The real question is: will mikal bridges ironman streak be in jeopardy now that thibs is his coach?
But damn.. 4(!!) unprotected frps is crazy
generational_lover69
The market is set, gotta keep all of these devalued picks now. Good for me because I don’t like desperation moves. The pressure to get a star next to Wemby RIGHT NOW is being forced by the media and not by him.

Overpay!!!
AgentEndive
Wow! They gave up a lot
DevilGunManga
Basically 6 FRP
4 unprotected 1 unprotected swap 1 protected
This is a larger haul than the Gobert trade.

Good lol

Counterpoint: the Villanova Knicks is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in pro sports so I’m inclined to let the Knicks fucking the trade market slide lol

Yikes didn’t the Suns release Bridges and that’s how he ended up with the Nets?

Would this mean Claxton is available?

I feel like these trades are happening faster than the teams willing to make them are accumulating new picks. Eventually the market has to cool off. But it won’t be this year.

Personally, I don’t think you can jump to any conclusions right now about what it will take to trade for next “star” (or in this case, non-star) player.
Every trade comes with it’s own set of circumstances and motivations, and that usually determines the value/transactional cost of these things.
We have no idea how desperate the Knicks were to get Bridges. They might have pushed all their chips in because they might be losing O.G. in free agency. Or maybe everyone in the Knicks’ front office has lost their collective minds.
I honestly just don’t think the Knicks overpaying for Bridges will prevent the Spurs to make any trades if they need to.

Did someone let Isaiah Thomas back in the Knicks office?

I tried tellin the Trae truthers in the sub. At a minimum a Trae trade is going to command 4 FRP. It just bankrupts too much of our future, while were still in the middle of a rebuild.
The Nets got an absolute haul though

Yikes. They’re probably STILL not better than the Celtics on paper.

I dont hate it at all. In fact I think it’s a perfect example of two teams giving up what the other needs given their current rosters, prospects and timelines. The Knicks players have entered their prime. Brunson is 27, Bridges is 27 Onunoby is 26 Divencenzo is 27 – the Knicks window is now and they know it.
For the Spurs, I think we can’t do the lottery again next year for this same reason. This will be Wemby’s last real development year, a pick this year will work out timeline wise.. a pick next year is starting to get outside the window. I think we need to go for Trae Young and that #1 pick – if it cost us 4 picks and 2 players, then that’s well spent assets and we are on the map.
Both teams getting what they need

Apparently the Knicks would have issues trying to keep Hartenstein around with this cap hit so… something to consider, you know?
solonharmony
Ooof. The Nova Knicks set the price high for this year’s market. Oh well
DPRODman11
OG Anunoby opted out….interesting
regularrob92
An over pay, but still a cool move. The Knicks definitely just got much better, but I’m not sure it will be enough to get them past Boston

How many first round picks is Wemby worth?

I’m starting to really believe in the idea that draft capital is a little overrated, so its cool to see a team go for it in terms of trading said capital to help their team
cartman_returns
If they are going to build the Nova knicks, someone needs to build a a Conn Team and we can build the Frence team

4FRP unprotected is wild but the assumption has to be they are all in the 20s.
Still crazy when contract security is valuable and filling out a roster but I mean that Knicks starting team is fkn stacked
