    The value of those Nets picks just went up.

    I wish there was a true Star available that we could cash out for.

    The next 24 hours will be crazy on the trade market, I think.

    This all bodes well for our 2025 pick swap with Nets. Karma working in our favor. Can't believe the Nets got that much from the Knicks for Bridges, that just seems weird.

    While this is considered a great harvest for Mikal and prob a record breaking win for KD trade (how many picks is that in total now?), maybe I'm crazy but I think this is inferior to getting their picks back. Knicks would be good for at least the next 4 year so only that 2029 and 3031 picks would be good. If they got their picks back they instantly get no 3 and can start tanking for Cooper Flagg.

    Knicks will be a problem…the NBA is a lot better when the Knicks are good…they are easily the 2nd best team in the East, which isn’t saying much, but still

    Brunson is a “2nd best player on a championship team” so they still need that guy in order to truly compete for a title

    Imagine tanking for us lol. We also got the 2026 pick if somehow they still suck.

    They can still start tanking, so we can get Cooper Flagg! :D

    They just acquired 1st option Mikal Bridges. At least Nets all sold it that way and we laughed at them, but look at them now.

    Damn. The Rockets still have two swaps (2025, 2027) and a pick (2026), right? Those are going to be pretty valuable.

    Nets sold off a very high end role player/really good starter for a star quality package…I can’t knock the hustle

    I'm still trying to figure out what the full trade is. That 2025 pick was GOLDEN

    I bet they teed up the deal with Houston BEFORE they arranged this trade with the Knicks.

    They'll tank for a couple of years and go from there.
