Tim Legler: The Knicks helped close the gap to Celtics by trading for Mikal Bridges | SC with SVP 

new team is so versatile. 7 foot wingspans 2-5. we're stacked just gotta figure out center

@@LysergiCoyotl potentially losing Hartenstein hurts, but there are options. Robert Williams could be available and there have been rumors of interest in Andre Drummond. I'd take either one of those guys.

@@johnnyboccuzzi5404 if so I want us to get a playable 3rd string too, Sims isn't it sadly cause seems like a nice kid

Same thing I was about to post. You can not bench Donte after this past yr. Sit Robinson put Randle at center.

@@LysergiCoyotlwho? The are short devincenzo hart brunson. Bridges is the only lenghty defender

That movie was awesome

Come playoff time, injuries for the knicks. Courtesy of thibs playing style. 😂

@@gc-ej5hfOG always been injured before the Knicks, Randle injury has nothing to do with thibs…or mitch

1pg and one center who are you talking about ?

If Chris takes the min that is a great idea. Gives Paul his last chance at a title. But I doubt he would come east.

@@acex9533Nope. I would go for T.J. Mcconnell

@@MCHiphopotamus nah

Knicks are incredible, but I believe you're right. Randle's long injury made people forget how much his games downgrades when it's playoff time. Still a good player, the Knicks missed him, but I can't say the Knicks have 2 stars come the playoffs.

@@adamsamuel8593 Neither of those guys (and PG is my favourite player). They need to get rid of Mitchell Robinson to pay Hartenstein and to make a move for T.J. Mcconnell.

did you watch the knicks and see any interviews or just watch espn espn

U SEE THE VISION U ARE SMART. WE HAVE ANOTHER BIG MOVE LEFT IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHO WANTS OUT

y would sixers trade him to the east, and y wud anyone trade for embiid now....his eye cant close smh

With a team like the Knicks, Joel does not need to be the go-to in the 4th. He can be further maximised even with limited minutes throughout the season (which 76ers can’t afford to do with lack of firepower). Never empty the cupboards as the time will come. Bit worried the Knicks gave away too much for at best third option in a championship team - Bridges

@@christylamoure7996 it depends what was offered. Nets traded Bridges to the Knicks for god sake.

its bizarre but they just fit really well. all unique players filling specific needs. all on good contracts. all on similar timelines prime-wise. championship DNA together. family matters!

Part of it is the comradery and chemistry, part of it is sheer coincidence that they fit needs, style of play, and team culture. They needed a point guard, Brunson was available. Needed a change of pace, swiss army knife guy, Josh Hart was available. Needed 3pt shooting, DiVincenzo was a free agent. Needed another elite 3-D guy, trade for Bridges.

There is

The Celtics won 64 games last year, best team all season. Of course they got the easy path!

@@AbelAraya i’m obviously talking about injuries

There is, considering they destroyed everybody, including the Mavs, without Porzingis.

Celtics are the champs so yeah we got to beat them first give them their respect

?? How is that shameless? He is picking between two teams. Between Sixers and Knicks he picked Sixers. And between Celtics and Knicks, he is picking Knicks. He is just giving his two cents based on the current trades happening for the respective teams. He is not actively campaigning the Knicks like SAS is doing. Weird analogy.

Some series are unpredictable. The sixers were the better team from a talent standpoint but obviously injuries played a role and the Knicks fought harder

😂😂😂😂😂

@@LeonarRonquilloHe also picked Dallas and Boston gentlemen swept them. Not even he’s immune to Boston bias

@@Mirage475 I mean he picked Dallas since the 1st round and still got it correct. 3 correct predictions out of 4 is still pretty solid to me. To be fair, he's the only analyst in the ESPN media who believes in the Mavs even before the playoffs started.

Beal was also aging and injured an cost more than Brunson and Bridges combined lol... the 2031 pick might be pretty good cause that's about when we'd expect this team to be goin downhill finally w Brunson at 34... but other than that this is an elite core, setup to be a playoff team for 4-5 years easy ... Nets got a bunch of 20s picks... Great move by NY

@@LysergiCoyotl spare me the revisionist history. Everybody loved the Beal trade when it was made. And I know you think low first round pics are garbage…I guess you think Brunson is lousy, eh?

@@igit_7296 ?? everyone my @$$ buddy, I definitely knew it was bad, Beal was already overpaid, overrated , and on shredded knees in DC... and ya guess what, if Nets find a Brunson at 25 some year great that's called the fkin way she goes ... risk well taken. if you want that argument we have a stockpile of 2nd rd picks to find our own draft winning gambles.... the window is now. the fit is perfect. better than bogging a team down w a 50 million dollar player who is marginally better but disrupts chemistry.

team has a great, perennial playoff core for 4+ years now. what do they even need late picks for, they can't develop many players or pay expensive 1st rd rookie deals when they have an elite 1-8 in their primes and a tight budget. look they already had to just turn their 2024 1sts into 2nds and stash. They paid a surplus to get their perfect target at the perfect time. This aint an aging injury ridden player on a 50 milli deal this is a literal Iron Man plays every game, is young, fits easily, is best friends and won championship with 3 guys on the team... what more did you want?

Beal waz good trade 18ppg on 50/40...allen n nurkic as defenders was wrong

You a casual thats why lil bro Knicks have 2 all stars .. & great role players… deep deep team ..keep exposing the fact you know nothing about ball you embarrassing yourself kid 😒

Keep watching the lakers Celtics Yankees, cowboys bro..

Knicks match up great against Philly - they beat them all season long including the playoffs / Embiid doesn’t match up well against Robinson at all

I like how your thinking

@@kwamerogers142 Very kind of you to say so, good sir !

Nah they need him

What odd man out ? Lmao like what are ya talking about. He’s not being shopped or traded. Randle is wanted and needed on this team. His spot is secure and just wait on the get back 💪🏾💪🏾

Bro this is an interesting team OG & Mikal is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Randle was an ALLSTAR this past season.. whats the problem fam .. why yall keep hating on Randle

@@TruthSpeaker4 facts

alternately .... Celtics Knicks Wolves Nuggets Thunder 76ers

Denver below Boston for the playoffs just cause their bench suffered without Bruce Brown. They’re probably gonna lose one more piece two from the bench depleting them even more.

The Knicks finished 14 games behind the Celtics, and went 1-4 against them in the regular season, please be serious lol. And you don't win a chip because of your "second and third string" players, your third string shouldn't even be seeing the floor. The rotation shortens, and the top guys play heavy minutes. The Celtics top 7 rotation still laps the Knicks top 7.

If they were bette then why was Boston leading them by 14 games. The Knicks only won one game this season against them and it was when the Celtics were chilling after February cause they secured the best record. Knicks don’t have anywhere near the same level of talent that Boston has. Bro you’re talking about third stringers like they even matter in the playoffs. Try focusing on why your starters were all banged up and you’ll see it because the bench wasn’t as reliable forcing Thibs to overplay

Lmao this dude’s delusional graspin for straws. Last I checked the Celtics had a 14 game lead in the East, but yea, “no gap”.

har har har see you here in 11 months ...

While your lakers ready to eat fishdiks for the next 10 years?

If og is there I don’t think Boston can win at all of course they gotta be fully healthy

Celtics are choke experts they just won because everyone was injured

I'll say 6 because brunson can just go berserk a few games for the knicks to win a couple.

You're an idiot if you believe that.

nah they are. better, deeper bench too.

@@LysergiCoyotlno they ain’t

well they are equal to Milwaukee and Philly 😂

They definitely close to the Celtics

Was Porzingis injured? In the games Mitchell and Haliburton played, what was the Celtics record? I bet you won’t answer.
