Conscience deal, New York collects the five donkeys of death, the price is not too much

Brunson and Hart were signing a contract with free agents, and both of them were in a very awkward situation at the time.

In the 22nd Western Conference Final, the Mavericks beat the Warriors. Brunson performed very well, but Dallas was unwilling to give a big contract, but New York offered a large order of 100 million yuan. At that time, most people felt the premium. What do you think now?

Hart was sold between the mid-season trading deadlines for two consecutive years, as if he was always a passerby. In the summer of 2023, after his contract with the Trail Blazers expired, he signed a contract with New York for 13 million a year. Is it more?

Nunobi

In December 2023, the Knicks sent Barrett and Quickley two young potential stocks to the Raptors in exchange for Anunobi, Achuva, Flynn and a second-round pick.

This was basically the same magnitude at the time. Anunobi was elected as the steal king in his last season and was selected as the best second defense; Barrett was the third in charge of New York, and Quickley was the sixth.

Now it seems that Anunobi and Achuva are completely adapting to Thibodeau's ruthlessness, while Barret is inevitably slacking off.

Let's talk about the bridge, the Knicks gave it this time is more expensive.

In July 2024, the Knicks gave out 7 draft picks (6 first rounds!), Boyang and two supporting roles, getting Ohashi and two extras.

The role players of both sides can be ignored, the most important thing is the first round pick. The losses suffered by the Nets from the Rockets were basically made up for from the Knicks!

Finally, the Downs

In October 2024, the Knicks, Hornets and Timberwolves traded, and the Knicks gave Randall, Divinchenzo and a 25-year first-round pick to the Timberwolves;

Timberwolves sent Towns to the Knicks;

The Hornets gave Nigerian player James Nnaji's signing rights to the Knicks;

Timberwolves gave a second-round pick to the Hornets;

The Knicks sent supporting players Charlie Brown, Jeffries, Washington and a 2031 first-round pick to the Hornets to balance the deal. The deal between Bridge and Towns basically cost the Knicks all the first round draft picks in the next six years. Now it seems that it is worth it!
