    Assuming the Rockets' offer would be Brooks + all Nets picks back for Bridges + all Phoenix picks, what would each of those teams have to offer in order to beat our offer? What makes sense for each of them?

    Utah: John Collins + #10
    Knicks: Bogdanovic + #24 + 2025 FRP from Detroit (lottery protected)

    I don't think either of those deals is better than "Nets picks and salary filler for Bridges and PHX picks".


    Those picks are more valuable to the Nets than any other team because it gives them control of their own destiny again. They get to determine, to some degree how valuable those picks are - top 4 or not.

    Then next offseason you force the Suns to take their picks back for Booker

    The Knicks are sending four unprotected picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031) a 2025 protected Milwaukee first, a 2028 unprotected pick swap and a 2025 second-round pick for Mikal Bridges and a 2026 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

    I see your five firsts for Rudolph Gobert and raise you six picks for Mikal Bridges

    Goodbye OG Anunoby?

    The Knicks are a Jalen Brunson injury away from disaster.

    Man crazy how these teams just give away their future like that. Knicks better keep OG as well or at least use him in a sign and trade and get some assets back.

    Such a MASSIVE overpay

    Didn't want to pay OG? Sign and trade? Going to keep both?

    I wonder who the Nets will now overpay for (PG, Jimmy, etc). If they can't sign any of them Rockets just got a top 4 pick in 2025.
