Nepotism that actually makes sense

Basically, the Nets just got control over their 2025 and 2026 1st rounders back and are now in full tank mode.

Knicks are Nova Nation, baby

So the Nets, by my count, received 9(!) firsts out of the Durant deal.

What will be the backpage of the NY post tomorrow is my big question. There will be a pun about a bridge in there, I have no doubt.

 

[GKJ]

Cost also had to be more being a crosstown rival

 

[stats1]

Yeah NY better win now, that’s a ton to give up for a 3rd tier star. Also this A+ work from Marks getting those picks back from Houston. They can go full tank now. Nets are the OKC of the East now

 

[Terry Yake]

bridges is an all star caliber player, but giving up five 1sts for him is insane

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Knicks gotta bring back OG still.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

5 1sts??!

My god

 

[Jack Straw]

Knicks are Nova Nation, baby

The question is, when do they hire Jay Wright?

Maybe give it another year in case the Knicks get skunked.

That seems the kind of move you make if you think the guy's what you need to push you into title contention. Does anyone think that the Knicks were a Bridges away, though?

They targeted his profile for his versatility with the Celtics in mind
They also have to re-sign OG

They gave up a lot though and the 2025 draft will be loaded

 

[Hockeyholic]

Am I missing something here. Why give up that much for a player who has never even been to an ASG in 6 years?

 

[HisIceness]

I'm sure these picks will change hands several times. That's still a lot to give up for one player though.

 

[Avs_19]

Just an insane trade with no many moving parts. You can go in so many different directions.

I don't think Bridges is worth that but at the same time, he makes the Knicks a lot better and a couple of the picks will likely be pretty late. Their defense in particular has the potential to be special with OG back as well.

Smart move by the Nets to start the tank by getting these picks and their own picks back. Their franchise was going nowhere and at least now they can start trying to build back up.

One thing I'm surprised to be hearing today is the people saying the Rockets shouldn't have given up the tanking picks back to the Nets because of how valuable they are. I highly doubt the Nets were going to make the Bridges trade without the deal with the Rockets already agreed upon. It was either going to be both or neither. If the Rockets refused then I bet the Nets would keep trying to be a play-in team, which helps no one.

 

[dahrougem2]

Bro I wouldn't give up five 1st round picks for f***ing Connor McDavid (maybe) lmao in what world is Bridges worth five 1sts????

 

[alko]

Is a round 1 pick in NBA more worth as round 1 pick in NHL?

Why dont we see such trades in NHL?
