Was Going All In On Mikal Bridges the Right Move For The New York Knicks? W/ Yahoo Sports Dan Devine

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.

Hartenstein got the bag, he isn't the second coming of Bill Walton

[@jwill5033]

Facts bro i’m so sick of it. I watch him get his ass handed to him the whole playoffs.

[@earthmansurfer2328]

@@jwill5033 Yeah, he is fine against average sized centers. But larger centers he easily gets pushed around. That said, we need a replacement BADLY.

[@dbuckets6281]

Is it true that the Jazz are looking to trade Kessler? If so would the knicks move Deuce to get him?

[@neomarioism]

deuce has one of the most valuable contracts in the league

[@BasketHoop]

I just wonder if the Jazz think they have leverage on the Knicks and would ask for more than Deuce. Being that the knicks are viewed to be in need of a healthy Center

[@PhyuckYiu2]

Knicks would be aware of getting fleeced for inquiring for any pieces from the Jazz, so it’s best to avoid them.

[@operadoc]

They should but they probably think deuce is better than he really is

[@user-is1yo3nj8p]

​@@operadocdeuce can very well be but with kolek and potentially rokas, the PG spot may be expendable. Kessler also has immense potential especially with thibs system

[@rolandchestnut9076]

LOOK I HART IS GONE PERIOD THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS WE CAN TALK ABOUT. THIS IS THE BEST KNICK TEAM SINCE LARRY JOHNSON AND SPREWELL THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THE KNICKS HAD SOME GOOD WING PLAYERS AND NOW WE HAVE OG AND BRIDGES THESE TWO GUYS ARE REALLY GOOD TWO WAY PLAYERS

[@bertrandthomas6744]

Get money og iq I heart Victor will be the first player to get 100 million per game in the NBA

[@user-spee-222-aI-7]

Knicks move too fast to get Mikal Bridges. They were supposed to get PG. PG signing would not cost 5 first round picks till 2031. Knicks should have waited and see how the PG contract situation played out in LA. CAA represents PG. After signing PG the Knicks would still have their 5 first round picks which they could have use to trade for a center with IHart signing elsewhere which they were not prepared for plan A, B or C. They are stuck with frequent injured Robinson and going into this season he could have major injury and Knicks do not have reliable back up. Most C are 6’10 to over 7 ft. Achiuwa at 6’8 would get bully as playoffs have shown he was shoved around and dunked all over. Knicks need capable backup big with size. At this point all the good backup Cs already signed with other teams and Knicks left with the crumbs and there are few choices left. PG is the coveted star that Dolan wants and that sells tickets at MSG. Knicks also did not trade up to get a C with their 2 first round picks for contingency at the 5

[@user-is1yo3nj8p]

Why would anyone want a 35 yr old player when you got 2 other injury prone starters?

[@cooldude7821]

​@@user-is1yo3nj8p Especially at 4 years & 50 mil a year.

[@operadoc]

Apparently not since we are totally fucked now

[@teachergotgame2203]

No Knicks suck donkey dong and suck compared to the Celtics Sixers and healthy Bucks.

[@KingQ-ht6wy]

We’ll see Knicks gon shut you up this year
