Macro got cardboard in his windows😂

A player like Embiid, Giannis, Jokic, Doncic, Curry, are not going to become available in for foreseeable future. Additionally, those type of A list players would not get traded for just picks (I don't care how many picks) and a salary filler player. The first round picks the knicks traded were decreasing their value the minute they prove to be a contender in the next 4-5 seasons with the MVP level talent of Jalen Brunson. The New York Knicks knew they have an expiration date on their window of opportunity to go big fish hunting. They gave up a bunch of picks that will be late first rounders and Bijan for a borderline all-star. This trade has addressed a few fundamental issues with the team. They have added a legit perimeter defender who made all defensive 1st team in 2022 and Thibs will adore. They added depth so Divo can be a bench scorer or Mikal can be an early sub and come back in with the bench unit. You now have a legit 2/3rd option on the team to is a 3-level scorer. The fit is probably the biggest reason they do this trade. Mikal's age and contract, Nova Knicks connection, and he is an excellent scorer off the ball but, can double as a distributor. A lot of picks, I hear it but, that's the cost of doing business in the NBA. Also, that's the cost of pulling the trigger and being an eastern conference contender for the future. The knicks will become a second apron team soon, so the clock was ticking on a move like this. I admit I never saw the Nets making a trade with us.

34.000 viewers 👏🏻 Love it … OG can play center on defense vs. players like Chet, KP, Wemby etc. , especially with Hart at sg and Bridges at sf and Deuce at pg

Andrew the biracial angel Claudio

This trade is “speak softly but carry a big stick” in action. Love this FO! No warning and then BAM you get MIKAL BRIDGES!!!

Bridges is a star

Stay til the end for a Hawk Tuah reference from Macri. Really needed a Fourplay ad there … woulda been perfect timing 😂

Eyes popped right out of Jon's head. 😂

Salute J-mac!

“They Not Like Us” John 😂

Andrew is pure white on the inside

The way to rationalize this deal is simple, if you think OGs value is around 40-50 million per year. And you view Mikal’s skill set as being similar to OGs. Then this trade is very fair because you essentially get OG for two years at 20million per year. And you likely will be able to extend Mikal for a reasonable number because of the Nova connection. In my opinion very good deal. I guarantee you though tonight they will trade one of their 1st round picks for a future a first round pick.

Macri is OUTSIDE!!

Mitch is likely to be traded 😢.

what puzzles me is that leon rose is too smart to not match salaries and leave himself open to not signing ihart. either he will include 2 scrubs in the trade. or trade mitch and keep precious as the backup center.

Tatum 6 foot 9... Jaylen Brown 6 foot 7... Bigger, stronger, faster, Champions

The Knicks still have their picks in the 2024 draft and, they still have additional picks. I believe they will land a center in the draft.

Thanks for the thoughtful conversation. A few thoughts. 1) None of us know how OG feels about this. He might not want to share minutes with Mikal and he might think the Villanova core is too much of a click. If this costs us OG, then we sent a ton of assets for a minimal bump up. 2) With or without this trade other teams could outbid NY for Hartenstein because of his Early Bird rights. If the Knicks are gonna send Robinson somewhere to free up the cap space for Hartenstein, they better be damn sure that he will accept an offer from NY with less money even if OKC or ORL offer him $5m more per year. I think losing Hartenstein is a much bigger deal than people realize because it was the combo of him and Mitch that gave NY a 48 minute advantage on the glass.

With the Stepien rule in place, did we give away all our picks? We gave up years 25, 27, 29, and 31. Don’t we still have 26, 28 and 32? Plus the Detroit and Washington picks? The swap year is still a swap of the better first so we still have a pick in the swap year.

I love Jeremy, but no way we need to create cap space by trading JR. I know you didn't see this coming but maybe for once we are doubling down on culture

Hell yeah!!

You guys value ihart way too much He was FOOOD in the playoffs...straight up food...embiid and Turner both killed him Yes he's a GREAT passer .too bad we don't have a team constructed to take advantage of that..jb is too ball dominant and ends up in iso dribble dribble dribble 7/10 times . Not enough people cut to even take advantage of his passing skills. Especially if OG is hurt..in any case.. We have mitch..the best offensive rebounder in the game..and the blockness monster held embiid to 41% shooting when he guarded him....lets hold on to him and invest in the medicine..we can find another ihart...

Was really informative about how this trade affects us financially, the limits it puts on retaining hartenstein, how much money we’ll have to find a replacement for him. the conversation about trading Randle is so cringe tho and irks me beyond belief.

So the trade details can still be changed?

Randle isn’t going anywhere. If we keep Mitch, Sims will be the back up. The other option is Mitch is being sent out for other back up bigs and we keep Hartenstein.

Best morning announcement ever

Exactly

I miss NYC and BK. Thanks the AM announcements Mr.Macri. Have a great day. I-Hart > OG.

Damn. Thumbs down guys. You guys are a bummer on this. All you can think of is some dream that a superstar will come here for those picks that won’t be good because the Knicks will be great. This Knick FO knows what they are doing. We are win now. Brunson is prime. Give him what he needs for the next 5 years. This team is stacked with wings and shooting now. We will kick bostons F’in butt.

As a lakers’ fan I had yall as a top 3 seed with a chance to break through to the ECF next year BEFORE this trade. I think yall absolutely have a shot to win the East.

You both need to go back to school on Capology and trades. I can't believe the hipocracy. Can anyone of you tell me that besides the 2031 pick, where would those picks be in the first round when the knickerbockers for the next three to four years will be at least a top three team as far.as wins in the entire NBA much less the EC???

I'm about to watch the entire 2016 Nova season #scouting #LFG

Need to add Diakete and Jeffries and keep IHart… adding Mikal to that team will result in us outcompeting every single team on the way to a title.

Christmas in June! LGK!

Could we trade Julius Randle for Lauri Markkanen to cut some salary and get a starting PF in return or do we not have the picks now to do it?

I’m a Raptors fan and this move is awesome for the Knicks on many levels. First this is protection if OG leaves. Bridges and OG are the top two 3 and D players in the NBA. If they have both next season they are definitely better than last season and for parts of the season when healthy were the best team in basketball. Second this removes some of OG’s leverage and there is a world that the Sixers get Paul George which is more of a Morey move than OG and the money for OG dries up. This means he might have to accept less than he wanted from the Knicks and OG doesn’t hold the leverage anymore. The Villanova Knicks and even Randle accepted less money than market value to build this team and OG was not willing to so now if they let him go they still should be better than last season. I’m starting to think the best move the Knicks can make is focus on signing I-Hart and let OG and his massive overpaid contract demands leave. Either way the Knicks are championship contenders whatever happens and the league is on notice. I might even have to start cheering for the Knicks as my Raptors rebuild. Definitely would prefer the Knicks win a championship than the Celtics, Bucks, Cavs, or Sixers. I understand that’s a lot to give up for a non superstar but this player is a perfect on the court and enhances the team’s identity.

Nick Clayton might be part of the Bridges trade

This moment made my night, we truly done deserve our black king Blacri

Hey Scrooge. When we win the chip I could give a flying F about no late 1st rd picks. They can have tonight’s 2 picks if they want

Dont be so sure Mikael wont make a Allstar team , he is young and further blossom by not playing on a bum team.

F those picks, the KNICKS suck at 1st round picks anyway. I'm good.

We got Bridges and kept our team together. What else could we ask for? I'm good.

Perfect opening line... HOLY SH@T was right.

It's like Christmas after all of the presents get opened.

I still can’t believe this happened..

May they be shifting mitch in a move to move up in the draft and get their ideal centre backup and saving salary to bring back ihart?

If Randle doesn't look like he wil gel I think we will make a move. Defensively is Randle's downfall and we were so good on that end without him.

let's go!!

Just need to secure OG and we're a championship contender

Meme worthy
