bro wtf was that.
I doubt he is getting the minimum at this point, probably wouldn't start in a g league team.
This is sad.

Didn’t realise we were on today saw the scores down by 20 against the Jazz.
Just flicked it on and we were only a couple of down. Big run in a few minutes.
Been terrible on the 3s. Very up and down inconsistent season from us so far.

Have had the answer every time NY’s made a run. Starting to get back full compliment now the Jazz with a good starting 5, they’ll beat plenty of good sides at home.

Whats Ben Simmons next contract? Im thnking its 2 years 10 mill for a side like Spurs who are somewhat comfortable with a defensive minded PF since the C can shoot a 3 and be a high volume shot taker like Wemby is

NY aint winning shit if KAT/Brunson/Hart/OG playing 35+ minutes a night. The only player they seem to trust off the bench is Payne and he is awful. Once Achicuwa and Robinson come back it will help a bit for sure, but it wont help Hart/Brunson that much
Bridges truly is and was a awful signing. I cant see it being recovered from here. Not cos of his talent just because of the horrible fit he is. They need like 3 more bodies in and around this team, with the PF option just being a basic 3 and D guy like Finney-Smith. If they held patient also they could have easily swooped in for Jones and Trent Jnr late on in the free agency piece to round it off

Don’t watch enough of other teams games so this could well and truly be a league wide thing but pretty much every Knicks loss this year has been when we’ve been completely been outdone in 3 point shooting.
Utah hit a lot tonight even some really hard ones and we missed a lot at one stage if you took OG’s stats out we were like 2/21 from 3.
It’s not like we’ve been torn apart from a big like Jokic or Davis or have an Edwards style just run crazy.
Jazz were 19/34 from 3
Knicks 17 from 51.

Houston Rockets quite sneaky at 3rd. In all reality this year is the one for them trade in for a decent SG/SF style scoring option. They have been linked with Porter Jnr + Giannis but cant see them being realistic. Id be surprised if they werent interested in Ingram in that sense. They could easily dump a few expirng contracts like Adams/Green/Tate/Landale to make up the salary match

McBride being first choice off the bench is the issue
Robinson is always injured so not sure how much you can rely on him.

Bridges' fit on court isn't an issue, per se.
What you're getting at is the opportunity cost of the Knicks making three big trades in six months, which naturally wasted their depth. On that score, the Bridges trade was the least costly, as he's on the smallest contract and they gave up non-rotation expiring contracts. His trade just cost the most in terms of draft picks, which isn't a 'now' issue, although it might be in the future.
All three big trades they made are perfectly defensible individually, in a vacuum. And their on-court fit doesn't appear to be an issue thus far. It's just a question of whether they made too many big moves in a short period of time, which is fair to question, but premature to make a summary judgement.
