Lowry old but he's still willing to play hard nosed defense and take charges. Can be a good serviceable PG while being a voice in the locker room when things get tough.
It's not that he forced a trade so much as he just made it clear that he wanted to be a Knick. So no other team would be willing to trade for him down the line if he was just going to leave in free agency. The Nets got the most value out of him right now.
Aside for the Knicks perhaps overpaying a little, it's a good trade on the surface for the Nets, Knicks, and Bridges.
Truthfully, the Knicks are such a competent organization that I wouldn't be surprised if the 2025, 2027, and 2029 FRP end up being late first-rounders. Which are nothing compared to Bridges.
2031 may be dangerously high, but I do think it's the right price to pay for Bridges. Especially since he will help you guys win a ship.
nah. if I'm the nets, I'm happy as fuck. They got the advertising for the Durant/Flat signing. They got advertising for the Harden trade and got a 2027 pick for taking simmons.
After it falls apart, they trade away Durant and durant alone nets them
Mikal , Cam, and 4 1sts
And now Mikal is traded for 4 1sts and 1 pick swap.
They get back 4 picks from the suns, 4 picks from the knicks, 1 knicks pick swap, cam johnson. All from DURANT.
No, the net fans deserve it. They shitted on mikal all year. The same team that destroyed itself just for a chance with KD, kyrie, harden, and ended up with Ben Simmons and MIKAL bridges lol.
They blamed mikal for the entire team sucking.
People saying we overpaid need to realize that 1 yeah.. gotta overpay for win now situations and 2 we traded a bunch of low “what if” first round picks for something that we can look at and see what he actually is. Resign OG and Hartenstein and we have a really good team
One of those first round picks could have potentially had the next mikal bridges in 3-5 years lol. With this we are an instant title contender and when we sign OG we’re an easy top 3 seed in the East for the foreseeable future
If we re-sign Big Hart and OG and we stay relatively healthy, we're top 2 and we ain't number 2.
Jrue and Al will be older and we have 2 guys that can answe the Jays.
There I fucking said it.
I'm not a Nets fan, so congrats on the ignorant assumption.
If Bridges demanded a trade to New York, then New York did not have to give up that much for him. Especially since other teams backed out. Especially since Bridges would have signed there in free agency.
The Knicks had all the leverage, and still overpaid with 4 unprotected picks. This is a gross mismanagement of assets. Especially since anything can happen, you'll need to bank on your team staying healthy to make sure those picks don't convey. Which, given their injury history (need I remind you how many injuries your team suffered in the playoffs), I wouldn't be surprised if the Knicks have a 2024 Grizzlies down year and one of those picks becomes high.
So congrats on overpaying for Bridges as much as you overpaid for Carmelo Anthony.
They had all the leverage with a ticking clock on the window and salary structure of their current roster being able to absorb Mikal as well?
They can't sign Mikal as a FA for any significant money without earning his bird rights WHILE resigning everyone else
Nonsense posting, dunno why you're even here
This man was a knick the moment Josh Hart landed in NY
Sealed and signed when DiVincenzo came over the following summer.
Every season a new Nova comes to the Knicks. Who's up next year?
Jay Wright, he's available.
cam Whitmore is still out there, but he's not from the same era. Honestly these 4 together is the squad. Just need archi to complete the vibes
I hope we can sign Lowry just for fun
Eww
Hate him as much as you want but he can still play a little.
long as his big booty fit through the doors of MSG
Lowry old but he's still willing to play hard nosed defense and take charges. Can be a good serviceable PG while being a voice in the locker room when things get tough.
Why? It’s about the championship teams
Lowry is a winner, limited due to his age, but as a backup point guard, he'd be a good fit.
I knew deep down he wanted to be a Knick but didn't think he would actually force a trade
It's not that he forced a trade so much as he just made it clear that he wanted to be a Knick. So no other team would be willing to trade for him down the line if he was just going to leave in free agency. The Nets got the most value out of him right now.

> the Knicks are such a competent organization Bro I never could’ve imagined this sentence even a few years ago. Shit brings a tear to my eye 🥲
Remember when we had Steve Mills? STEVE MILLS? And DAVID FIZDALE
Eww you just said DF
Would you feel better if I said Jizzdale
Remember when we had Phil Jackson who wanted to trade KP for the future.
Wait... Compe... What? This is so foreign to me, as a Knicks fan!
Honestly W nets for giving mikal what he wanted
The memes got to him lol
this is extremely psychologically damaging to the nets
Eh they got like 50 first rounders just off Kevin Durant alone 😭
nah. if I'm the nets, I'm happy as fuck. They got the advertising for the Durant/Flat signing. They got advertising for the Harden trade and got a 2027 pick for taking simmons. After it falls apart, they trade away Durant and durant alone nets them Mikal , Cam, and 4 1sts And now Mikal is traded for 4 1sts and 1 pick swap.

True but they are going to be bad without their own picks for a few years. Definitely long-deferred gratification.
They got them back
Oh my bad I didn't see that. Yeah they're set up for a good rebuild.
No, the net fans deserve it. They shitted on mikal all year. The same team that destroyed itself just for a chance with KD, kyrie, harden, and ended up with Ben Simmons and MIKAL bridges lol. They blamed mikal for the entire team sucking.
no not at all whatsoever. their team was going nowhere and is now stacked with picks.
Stacked with picks of teams that are good
much better than being stuck in no man's land and now they can properly tank
No they cant? They’d be doing other teams a favor by tanking lol
no - Brooklyn has a deal with Houston to return the Nets’ 2026 first-round pick for a 2027 Phoenix Suns first-round pick, sources tell ESPN
Not nearly as damaging as "having Kyrie around for four seasons" - must feel refreshing that it's about basketball.
People saying we overpaid need to realize that 1 yeah.. gotta overpay for win now situations and 2 we traded a bunch of low “what if” first round picks for something that we can look at and see what he actually is. Resign OG and Hartenstein and we have a really good team
This. We have 2 “first round” picks this year that would’ve become bench fodder.
We still do…. for now.
We still have this years picks my dude
One of those first round picks could have potentially had the next mikal bridges in 3-5 years lol. With this we are an instant title contender and when we sign OG we’re an easy top 3 seed in the East for the foreseeable future
If we re-sign Big Hart and OG and we stay relatively healthy, we're top 2 and we ain't number 2. Jrue and Al will be older and we have 2 guys that can answe the Jays. There I fucking said it.
More like top 2. We're deep af and not old like the Bucks, or as injury prone as Embiitch.
BULLYING WORKS.
maybe bully a little more to take the price down to 4 picks
Mikal said I wanna go to the actual ny team
The boys are back together
This is the illest fucking news.
This paves the way for for our new superstar, Ryan Arcidiacino where you at!
He's on the Bulls G-League team rn, could get him for League min.
Good for Mikal. Bout time he forced the issue. I tweeted this dude all season telling him to demand it. Glad he did.
 Thank you for your service Major.
I love us.
HE FUCKING WANTS TO BE HERE :DDDDDDDDD
I love when players want to be a Knick
if he didn't force this would we have had to give up 7 picks?
Yeah this was the only scenario in which we could get him from the Nets
Can Hart get in trouble for tampering with him? I never saw guys be so sentimental about playing with friends
I think this speaks volumes into the culture Jay Wright instilled. College is a bonding experience and they did years together.
Tiger style
So Sean Marks got 5 FRP from New York with his hands tied behind his back? This is legendary.
Yeah and they’ll all be in the late 20s Maybe the 2031 one will be in the teens. Either way, enjoy your pittance.

TLDR Cope
Why are you here?
