The Knicks will be aggressive in their attempt to re-sign OG Anunoby, per @wojespn.
New York’s goal is to form one of the most lethal defensive wing duos in recent memory with Mikal Bridges and Anunoby. pic.twitter.com/icb7iH0JuV – 1:09 AM

Over the past few seasons, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges were touted as the premier starter-level wings that every team is dying to have, who could fit anywhere, and would cost a lot to acquire since there are so few players like them.
The New York Knicks got both of them. – 12:43 AM

Mikal Bridges was not as untouchable as some were led to believe.
The forward was traded to the Knicks tonight. GM Sean Marks maximized the Nets’ return. And now Brooklyn’s future appears far brighter after securing an impressive haul of future assets.

Obv gave up a ton to get Mikal Bridges. And won’t be easy to keep Hartenstein. But if the Knicks keep OG and have him in a starting lineup with Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and Bridges….YO. Plus depth with Hart and Donte off the bench. Immediately Celtics biggest challengers – 10:48 PM

Even though BKN knew Mikal Bridges wanted to be a Knick, Nets certainly didn’t have to trade him now. He had 2 years left on his deal. So NYK had to make an offer BKN couldn’t refuse. They clearly did that. Fair to assume the NYK offer was by far the best BKN received for Bridges – 10:43 PM

Stunning haul (4 unprotected firsts, a protected first, a swap) to get Mikal Bridges from Nets to Knicks. Leads Rockets, who still own 2 Nets picks and a swap after tmrw, to wonder if Nets will try to use tons of picks to trade for talent or wait (and lose) to build in draft. – 10:13 PM

Trading Mikal Bridges stings but the Brooklyn Nets were in a tough spot not by not trading him. They gave this group a fair shot to be competitive over the last year but it didn’t work.
They could rebound quickly with their surplus of draft picks and maximum cap space in 2025. – 10:03 PM
