had him on three times now and uh it’s probably three of my 10 favorite episodes we’ve done on the show and we’ve Alex and I have done probably about 1300 1200 at this point something like that so that is really saying something it’s kind of like you know in The Avengers where they call Thor back to Earth you pull someone out of retirement that that’s always what it feels like for me it’s like all right big Nick moment I’m gonna bring in the the biggest guns we have and that is Dan Divine the guy is excellent and uh this is a a big time conversation here in part one um going over uh the kind of player Mel Bridges has to be for this trade to pay off for the New York Knicks what the values like who else was out there and we get into Isaiah hardenstein a little bit we’re going to dive even deeper into that in part two which when we recording Monday morning is actually when we got the news that hardenstein had officially left uh for now let’s talk Mel Bridges right here on locked on Nicks all right guys as promis lucky enough to be joined by my buddy Dan Divine of Yahoo sports and the No Cap room podcast with Jake Fisher Dan thank you so much for coming on uh cool time in Nicks World maybe maybe a little bit of a scary time in Nick World we’re now on day two of Isaiah hardenstein watch I was really planning when we started when we booked this pot I was like all right there’ll be somewh we can either Panic we could celebrate we don’t get to do either we we’re in a state of waiting still but uh happy happy to wait with you buddy how’s it going oh I’m doing well I mean that is a state I feel pretty comfortable doing like straddling the line between enjoyment and and sheer Terror like that’s where I feel like I live in that middle ground so this it’s good uh good to be there with you today I you know what I I did not do enough research because I feel like there’s probably a really fun evocative German word for that state and I I call it hartenstein I mean it’s fine by me like might might as well probably sounds even more painful than that but you know we’ll save that I’ll add a not in uh in in editing but um he’s not here uh male Bridges is here um and that is really exciting if you are a New York Knicks fan uh I found myself since the the night of the trade as was extremely optimistic like you you just heard from all these people mostly not Nicks fans maybe not clouting on the Knicks but I I think even like even really smart people are kind of going online and saying all right you know what this was was probably a little bit of an overpay I was like no no no you have to look at the context like the fact that this was and I said this on yesterday’s pop but I think I’m G to keep saying it all summer like this was the the one way the Knicks could keep the identity they found that was so potent and and and so clearly like there was there was magic there like I don’t know how anyone could watch that playoff run and say even though this team was cursed there was also magic there in in a really good way and there were so much more than the some of their parts and and bridges inherently having played with all these guys so long and even if he had never played with any of these guys I I think just just with the type of player he’s the type of person he is the how reliable he is and and and the versatility inherent to his game um you were you were keeping everything that made you so great and making it even better and and it’s hard to argue with that because this is again like like on the precifice of clearly being the most beloved Knicks team in in 30 years maybe maybe maybe it’s going to be 50 years when it’s all said and done and yet you you see the Celtics say all right we’re just we’re just gonna run it back come at us you see the Sixers go out and get Paul George last night while while bringing Eric Gordon while somehow keeping Kelly UB who tortured Jaylen Brunson on a ridiculously cheap number um and and just kind of start like sweating a little bit you’re like all right that was that was the move and now maybe you’re losing hartenstein um where does that where does that leave the Knicks but you know before we even get into that like what what were what were your thoughts on the trade and whether or not it was an overpay and maybe even more importantly like what’s the opportunity cost of bridges being your all in move yeah I mean it’s there’s there’s so much swirling around your brain when something like that happens right I mean the first my first thought candidly is like do I have to write and then I found out I don’t have to write I was like okay cool all right just kind of like think about this I don’t have to write right now um and the the I mean I think like a lot of people you know there was the initial sticker shock of just like that’s a lot of picks and then quickly kind of zooming to well what does that mean for is does this mean Adon noi’s out the door because is he sort of coming in as a replacement for that slot oh what does that mean for Haren Stein’s free agency and how things work in the financial structure then sort of quickly moving from that to no this is like what you do when you have OG coming back like if this is a the kind of move where you double down on what you’ve been doing so then I felt fairly confident on okay well this is a step toward now you have those two guys on the wing and it’s going to be tight making the money work for hartenstein which had always been the case because as we known from a bunch of people reporting including my colleague Jake fiser hartenstein was kind of always going to be the bell of the ball in the center Market this summer so it’s like if someone wanted to go over the top for him which still may be the case um that was always going to be tricky but that was probably going to be true no matter what so what can you do in the meantime and the meantime you go and you add an excellent three and D Wing somebody who plays a ton of minutes all the time is obviously a perfect cultural fit with your existent core and feels like somebody who can make sense whether the Knicks do play sort of the more traditional style that they had last year with uh Julius Randall in the in the starting lineup or if they when they didn’t have Randall and they pumped OG up to the four and they played more wings like it’s he fits in a multiple ways and it did make me think a little bit of Boston not just in were lining up the roster to be able to better equip or better equipped to handle Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum and you know this all the wings they’ve got there matching size with size Etc but more that the Celtics were a team where that top six kind of no matter what configuration of that group is on the floor can fit and make sense so like if porzingis is there great you can play one big if you can play porzingis with Al Horford you can play Horford at the five and porzingis off the floor uh you know rare occasions it didn’t work out so hot for them but they tried like Tatum at the five and got more of the guards on the floor they just as long as you had five of those six guys you felt pretty good and then you start looking at it and thinking all right well you come back into the next season with Brunson and Randall and OG and bridges and Hart and you know Mitch or hartenstein or both and you know uh you know Dante dvan chenzo like you kind of are back in that mix of any of those Five Guys on the floor together feels like it makes sense right and you know what did we see not this past year with the Celtics but the year before also with Denver they were a team that was super relying on its top six basically when you got to the playoffs obviously the Knicks were a team that was super reliant on their top six in the playoffs by virtue of like you know attrition and just you know the gods being against you and saying eventually you’re now you’re down to your top four and we’ll figure it out from there but you present the you know you give yourself the best chance with that group of five or six maybe seven maybe eight at the high end of your rotation it was a way that the Knicks could get better right away and even if the cost was dear in terms of picks as you mentioned then you have to do the Charlie Kelly at the Whiteboard zoom out and start putting all the strings together and go made the same same analogy the night of yeah exactly like like you’re actually it’s not just five picks for Bridges you’re also it’s like five picks and O and uh you know quickly and RJ for OG and bridges and really when you think about it it’s only like a little bit more than you would have given up just for Donovan Mitchell so ultimately you’re getting two guys in the door who are perfect fits who are better next to Brunson and you start doing all the COPE in your head and so the question is just going to be like is that cope is that like you making making amends with yourself to make you know to to be okay with the cost going out and I think that it’s but I think it’s worth the it was worth the swing worth the cost the bet is the male Bridges you saw last year in Brooklyn is not the male Bridges you’re going to see here because he was playing with basically no point guard play he was a primary ball handler somebody who had to do much more of the shot creation that is not going to be his role on this team I think the efficiency numbers you would expect them to you know perk back up toward where they were when he was in Phoenix playing off of multiple other creators but also now having spent two years stretching his game to the point where he could take on more on ball Duty you know when Brunson hits the bench and hopefully now you have multiple guys who could be a little bit more of a shot Creator have a little bit more in terms of running the offense in their game where the offense just doesn’t fall off a cliff when Jaylen Brunson needs a rest so to me like I mean that’s a lot of thoughts also swirling around in your brain uh and then where it leads you to ultimately obviously is what does this mean for Isaiah hartenstein and the point that you made this is like Bridges coming in is the Knicks doubling down on an identity I think the fulm for me there is what has been the Knicks identity since Tom Tibido took over it’s Rim protection All 48 minutes it’s two bigs at almost all times it’s uh offensive rebounding like the the size at the center position is so Central to who the Knicks have been and so now makes you wonder is this uh an inflection point where yes you obviously are going to want to be able to have at least one of those two bigs back ideally I think the goal is everybody back plus Bridges and then you go from there but if you can’t make it work that way is this just a sort of an acknowledgement of we’re going to need to be more comfortable playing one big four Wing we’re going to have to be more comfortable playing small ball Off the Bench if we need to and I wonder how comfortable tibs is with that but that bringing in a big piece like Bridges feels like it might move you in a direction and then if hard and shine doesn’t come back might even move you that in that direction even more all right guys we’ll be back with Dan in just a sec on lockedown Nick were we get into some of the alternate Futures what are the other paths that Nick could have gone down was there a better path than giving up so many picks for Mel Bridges we talk about that next on locked on Knicks but first I wanted to tell you about our good friends over at FanDuel Sportsbook I love sports I love them so much I never want them to stop but as the playoffs wind down we get fewer games and the sports aren’t sportsing like I want them to but FanDuel lets me keep the sports going whatever I want all I have to do is open the app and dream up bets anytime I’m in the mood and this summer FanDuel is hooking up all customers with a boost or a bonus daily that’s right they’re selling for everyone every day all summer long so head over to fanduel.com logdon and start making the most out of your summer seriously if you want to maximize it put some money down early on the New York Knicks to win a championship they have plus 900 odds it’ll it’ll carry you throughout the year you think you’re living and dying with this team now just wait until you have some monetary investment you can do that by going over to fanduel.com lockdown FanDuel official sports betting partner of Major League Baseball yeah I I think to your point maybe maybe I should rephrase that it’s more of a cultural Double Down than a stylistic double down right because this is this is what we were getting into on the show last night and this like it it sounds weird to say because I think hardenstein is exceptional but the only Silver Lining I see in him leaving is that it it could like especially with like all the backup centers getting snatched up we would reports this morning we’ll wrap up the show this is like Goa baz might get an offer from Orlando that that the Knicks like might might put the Knicks Out Of Reach for him to be the backup center there with them presumably trading Wendell Carter and maybe signing hartenstein um Jaylen Smith uh somehow got three for for 27 million like he was a guy like I I wanted to ask you about I was excited saying all right well maybe you can like turn this into a stretch five nope he’s off the board I wonder if Tom thid as he was like during game four the Sixers series and it looked really good is pushed into a corner where you might have to put out a a Jaylen Brunson Dante D venzo Mel Bridges ogan anobi Julius Randle lineup like against the Boston Celtics or like in closing minutes against the Sixers and to me far from and and this is something again we can Circle back on far from that being the end of the world like I I think that is probably their only chance of being a team like Boston without Isaiah hartenstein because I think with Mitchell Robinson out there and and and on top of that like you’re losing a lot of spacing at the center spot with him and Lou hartenstein you’re inherently losing spacing going from Bridges to D chenzo even though Bridges is an excellent shooter borderline Elite Devan chenzo is now a top five shooter in the league and just in terms of volume range where he’s positioned on the court like it is it is just a different animal and that is maybe the one way you get Best of Both Worlds even if I I don’t see tibs leaning into that all regular season and that might be a good thing if you’re trying to preserve ogan anobi but before we we get into those best lineups I I guess I just wanted to get your fi just just looking at the Superstar landscape around the league and also also the cap landscape and how locked in the Knicks were going to be like to me like before we we just put a a pin in the bridges conversation like I I guess I I just want to do that one more time and maybe it’s just out of nostalgia because on this podcast we spent five years being like all right is is is Devin Booker gonna become available last summer there was a fun week where it was like oh Giannis like could be out of town like it maybe maybe still could be a year from now uh Paul George was was an episode we did like three days before they traded for Bridges Kawhi Leonard like who knows how that turns out and and maybe outside of Giannis and and of course like Booker I don’t really see being dealt the next few years but you you just never know and by doing this move now you you took yourself out of that conversation for I think the way Zack L put it like a higher wattage star and someone who like maybe does change things culturally a little bit maybe does change things stylistically a little bit but maybe would have given you a higher ceiling as a team and and and doing like a a similarly themed episode yesterday that’s sort of what we got caught up on like all right if you if you trade for Paul George instead of Mel Bridges you’re you’re giving up less stuff you’re trading for someone who is is way more injury prone way way less likely to actually be there when you’re trying to play for a championship um way less likely to have the longevity of someone than Bridges but maybe just gives you a better shot at beating the Celtics the next two years and and and that’s sort of what I focused on like like are the Knicks and and it kind of gets the core like like if if I had a Nick if the Knicks were a high school student like my biggest insecurity would be like all right like is all this just cute at the end of the day like is it enough like even if Nicks were healthy last year could they have beaten the Celtics or or or did they actually need um on top of Jaylen Brunson who clearly proven to be that like another top 15 to 20 player when guys like Bridges you you look at his playoff track record you look at Julius randle’s playoff track record or lack thereof like there was there was one guy who as a scorer has gotten it done in the big way in in a big way in the playoffs on this roster and that’s Jaylen Brunson and teams traditionally don’t win a championship with just one of those guys these are all reasonable questions and I I mean my snap judgment thought when the bridges trade happened was I don’t think that’s changing my pick in a Celtics Nick series on its face right like both rosters on paper assume full health I I probably would still take Boston in that series it is rarely the case that when you get to April and then especially May and then especially into June that exactly the way things looked on paper in July is the way they’re going to look at that point so I mean just as one example like since the bridges trade happened we know that chrisop porzingis is undergoing surgery and is not going to be back for six months right five or six months and so like that is the beginning of the season right that’s into the you know Christmas or may maybe you know thereabouts so like who knows if the way the Celtics operate is exactly the same way by the time they get to the postseason who knows if that puts additional strain on somebody else and then you know the downstream effects of what it takes to you know withstand some of that obviously the Sixers you look at it and say Paul George on paper absolutely perfect fit between Joel embiid and Tyrese Maxi I say this not you know to be rude to any Sixers fans who might be listening but like how often do things go according to plan on paper in terms of health and availability and everything else for the Philadelphia 76ers right Dan feel feel free to be rude for them this podcast is a safe space for that go no but but it’s it’s just I think everybody like what’s the right way to sort of phrase this I understand if your response to a move like the Sixers getting Paul George or the Knicks trading for Mel Bridges is like yeah but like it doesn’t it does It ultimately change everything at the highest level and I don’t think that teams can think like that I think they have to think what can we do to get better like what really can we do and when you think about that list of top 10 top 15 guys and all you know who you stockpile your picks and your assets and your tradeable salaries for and you go down the list of like well who’s really going to be available and it’s s you know Giannis sign you know re-ups in Milwaukee Luca re-ups in Dallas they make the finals uh you know you go D you Booker yeah I mean but Booker is a very good player but Booker’s probably closer to 10 to 15 than he is to one right and so like as you go down the list like obviously Tatum just won the championship he’s not going anywhere Brown even if he’s not in your top 15 he just won the championship he’s not going anywhere you sort of start ticking names off and so then you’re you’re trying to make adjustments in your head where you’re like you know embiid they just you know they reup Paul they bring in Paul George they reup Maxi he’s on a Max and he might even further extend off of that like as you go down the list who’s really available yic is not going anywhere like so if you’re holding out hope for that tier that all NBA first team tier of guys and they don’t and there’s none of them available you start then going like all right is it Carl Anthony towns and I think we’ve had many conversations and all you know over the course of the last few years like is that really like how much is that moving the needle right and on a pure talent play like yeah he’s probably more he’s a more talented player than Mel bridge is but he brings his own concerns as far as what you would be on the defensive end and where you would be in a cultural fit and if if you’re bringing somebody on like a $55 million contract that person operates with a certain sort of Primacy within the organization and in the structure that you’ve got like is that really where you want to be going so all of that sort of broader consideration like brings me to the point of maybe you did like yes there’s no argument to be made that male Bridges is like a more impactful signing than insert all NBA first team player here but I think the bet that are made which is that contract that the structural fit the versatility that he provides with you on both ends of the floor the you know uh Rising tide lifts all boats component of we’ve seen you know we know these guys can play together there is an inherent chemistry here and we know that there the style that we got to we feel really good about this it to me it indicates the Nicks feel like what they saw last year was real and not some kind of like we caught lightning in a bottle and brunson’s never going to be that good again and none of these guys are ever going to be that good again it indicates to me that they feel like the style they found both in that whatever 14 game sample with Randall on you know and OG healthy at the same time and then after that when OG came back both of those feel real so it maybe caps you at a in terms of like every if all else everybody else else is healthy all of the number one guys on every other team are available and their supporting casts are all healthy and all available maybe you don’t quite have the same Firepower that they do but I think that the Knicks front office is looking at it and saying this gives us a really good chance of being like at a floor I don’t know what like top seven on both ends of the floor and it make like from a rotational standpoint obviously the hartenstein question is the biggest one but if you take last year’s rotation and move out boan bogdanovich and move in male Bridges yes there are Downstream effects from that in terms of who starts and who doesn’t and who’s on the floor and yada y y but that that gives us a chance to be not just like a 50- win team with an outside shot but like maybe a 55 win team with a significantly better shot and in an atmosphere where Windows only open for like two years at a time contract lengths are getting shorter this the Le the league is accelerating and churning you’re not seeing teams build dynasties you’re barely seeing teams stay together for a half dozen years or five years it gives you a better chance of being at that high e now or high peak now and so I think that’s kind of all you can do and you got to get you know just hope for the best do everything you can to get both higher up in the seaing and then to April May and June healthy and then let the chips fall where they may from there I I think it’s it it tells you a lot about how teams think about the Boston Celtics in some ways because I I was I look back to those Kevin Durant Warriors team and there was this feeling around the league just all right we are punting the next three years because we’re not going to beat those guys and and the rockets were with the lone exception to that but everyone else was just sort of like all right there’s not really any point let’s let’s get as many asses as we can let’s go into a long hibernation that’s a it’s a great point but like we remember that Rockets team as a failure because they missed 27 straight three-pointers in uh in a game seven right like but they were up 32 on that Warriors team and had two shots to take him out we can it’s fair you can say that is a blown opportunity you can say that is a team that was a failure but it in terms of construction and presentation and opportunity they got there and if not maybe for a Chris Paul pulled hamstring and a world hisor C streak in shooting they toppled the team that nobody that people were pting to get away from so all you can do is try to build the best team you can with what you’ve got and I think even though Bridges is not at the same wattage as you know that era of Chris Paul or whatever right I think there’s an argument to be made that this is the Knicks doing that and that they believe that the sort of um you know harmonic convergence of this guy in this culture in this system and this level of versatility and what it allows us to do in terms of shooting and length positional size you know the way we can invert matchups all sorts of stuff that those things can be like together powerful enough to get you at least into the conversation with teams that might have an across theboard Talent Advantage at some of those positions I’m I’m gonna steal harmonic convergence that’s a good way some some of the M well well phrased um but uh yeah that’s that’s kind of what I was getting like like that is a lesson that like you you just sort of have to go for it and and the Maybe maybe not quite to the same extent because the guy won an MVP and was putting up like 37 points a game but the same way the rocket said hey we have we this is the three years of James Harden’s Prime that we have like we we just have to do this Jaylen Brunson these last two postseasons like he’s looked like a borderline top five player in the league and if you have that guy in his prime like how like the Knicks since those 70s teams they’ve had like maybe Apex Bernard King Patrick Ying at his Peak like they’ve had it twice in in in half the century unless um maybe maybe mellow in 20123 is the one other version of that but it it is it is really really hard to get that guy it is really as the Knicks have seen a million times shout out to was Tracy McGrady like it’s it’s hard to find that guy at the at the right time and the right place and and if you if you have that like you owe it to that dude to go all in I think Bridges salary is also clearly a factor in why the price so high because like you you talk about bridges are Paul George it wasn’t Bridges or Paul George it was Bridges and Randall or or Paul George versus like maybe a lot of picks you could have used to replace Randall in some ways and that’s like a that’s a road you can go down if you want to but you you were not going to get another Superstar without literally retaining the whole of this team and and and that is that is why I I think the Knicks ultimately decided this was the move and I think in particular if they have hartenstein and and again like I I think the Celtics are are maybe like one iota below that war Warriors team in terms of pure um inevitability just because Steph and KD were were just better than Jason Tatum by like a couple of notches I think even though I’d say the Celtics as like a starting five that just fits together like I I guess you could say the that warriors death lineup like I I think it is as well constructed of a team and I’m I’m still just angry that they got picks to take on christs porzingis like what was like that was that’s what turned them into the Death Star and like that guy just walked into their building Drew holiday Dereck White on aable salaries just sort of walked into that building so give Brad Stevens credit like I I think it is hard from a a building perspective to match what the Celtics did because it was all just seamless and they didn’t have to they they have more picks than the Knicks getting all five of those guys in than the Knicks did just essentially bringing in bridges so as much as I hate to say credit to the Celtics credit to the Sixers because to your point on on paper they look amazing too but this was this was just something the Knicks ultimately had to do and and that being said like I I would not give them below like a 30% chance of winning that series and if if you have like maybe not a coin flip but like a coin that’s only slightly weighted one side against you like you just have to do it you just have to go in um you you started getting into this a little bit but I want to go a little deeper like like how this is a arbitrary question but how good does Bridges have to be for the Knicks to win may maybe two series maybe three series like that if you go six or Celtics and then whoever the best team in the west is because I’m I’m still sort of wondering what the best version of him is because on the Suns like I went back and looked the other day the efficiency numbers were were just ridiculous like there was I think there was a season where he was something like 74% at The Rim while hitting nearly 40% of his threes while finishing like I mean well maybe this was a year or two later but second in the NBA in all defense and and I think that is maybe even more so like I I almost have very little doubt that he can like even if his athleticism is maybe dropped off a tad into his 20ies like that he’s going to be really efficient offensively defensively I I thought and just talking to Nets fans who watched him on a daily basis like there was a a discernable like significant step back from those Heights and to me the best version of this Knicks team features like two of the top five Wing Defenders on planet Earth I have no doubts that anobi as long as he’s on the court he’s going to be there do you think Bridges still has that in him and we saw that that stretch when he was initially on the Nets offensively where he did look like someone who was going to make a couple of all-star teams and now we’re all we’re all kind of looking at him and saying all right that guy’s not there like the truth is somewhere in the middle like is there a higher end version where like in a game where where Jaylen doesn’t have it or or Kelly UB is is inexplicably locking him up like and and Julius again a big a big question mark coming into the playoffs like can Bridges be that Bonafide 2 maybe just for a game or so like one against one of the best teams in the NBA all right guys that is it for part one with Dan and part two we’re gonna get more into Mel Bridges and what player he has to become uh to help lead the Knicks to a title and yes we address the breaking news on Isaiah hartenstein how the Knicks can rebound and Julius Randle what’s his role in all this how how how can the Knicks best maximize him how can he best maximize the Knicks we get into all that in more later on lock on Knicks [Music] [Music]

Trading five first round picks for Mikal Bridges was inarguably a franchise altering move, was it the right one for the New York Knicks?

Gavin Schall is joined by Yahoo Sports Dan Devine to find out as the duo discuss if the pick outlay was too much, if the Knicks still have a legitimate title shot even without Isaiah Hartenstein and if there was a better player to go all in on.
