No he wont be bothered by 6'7 OG. This is pure delusion. He would DESTROY OG.
You guys absolutely do not have anyone to give him issues. Not even close.
Nice teams do not win Championships. The Celtics had a top 5 player and another all star. Knicks don't have that.
You mean this OG right?

Talent wise they match up fine.

I don’t get what you’re all losing your minds over, Bridges is 27 and has never even been an all-star or made an all NBA team, and yet some of you genuinely seem to think he’s worth 15 games in the standings.
I will say, I’m happy that Knicks fans will get to watch a very good team next year, I give them credit for being passionate and loyal to a franchise that has tortured them for so long, and they deserve to see a winner, but this thread is a stupid overreaction.
Boston has a small subset of “fans“ who get off on hating their own team. the OP is one of them, hard to take anything he writes seriously
addition of OG and Bridges for an entire season is definitely worth around +10 wins. Nobody is saying that Bridges alone will give +15 wins, that's a strawman argument.
The Mavs were a great team but they didn't have the elite defense that you need to win a championship....the Knicks will have that elite defense assuming they re-sign OG.
Certainly they could be worth +10 wins, but what're the chances OG is able to stay on the court for a full season? His games played totals the last five years: 69, 43, 48, 67, 50.
The East as a whole is probably going to be better next year as well. Miwaukee will bounce back, Indiana's rising quickly even though almost no one seems to notice how good they are, etc. Things are getting more interesting at the top.
This trade feels a lot like the Raptors trade for Kawhi, taking a big risk to win a championship in a very short window. Maybe it ends up just as well for New York as it did for Toronto, but it's hard to say, and will probably depend on the health of several different teams.

They have option 1, they have even option 3-6, they NEED option 2 to win
I don't think Brunson and OG can stay healthy enough
They might actually need option 1, and already have option 2. Brunson had a breakout season but I am not sold on him being the best player / star on a championship winning team
That's true, he did well in these playoffs, it's another thing altogether to be a #1 guy on a championship team. This knicks team is still missing that big piece, but they're close

Assuming Brunson, OG, Bridges, Randle, Mitchell is the starting lineup. If they lose Hartenstein, NYK will certainly need to pick up size in the draft - other than an unrestricted Achiuwa, they have no size over 6'8".
if NYK could lucky enough to role players in Missi/Ware/Holmes they could at least have some players to grow as the guards/wings are all 27 or younger.
I do not think they are Boston ready.
Did Mitchell Robinson die?
Sure he shouldn't be expected to play big minutes, but he's still a very big defensive force when he's on the court.

One stupid Youtube clip means OG can guard Giannis????
Now I've heard it all. I hope you guys go with that strategy.
Also funny how you assume OG is coming back to the Knicks.
What if he goes to Philly for a bigger role?
Don't count your eggs before they hatch.

Bucks have Doc Rivers as the head coach the title window is closed until he’s fired.

Brunson already averaged over 30 against 2 elite playoff defenses in Miami and Philly over the past 2 seasons. He’s a top 10 guy, a top 5 playoff performer and a top 5 MVP candidate this season. He is the big piece.

Excuse my mistake of calling Mitchell Robinson Mitchell. I should have called him Robinson.

A bigger role in Philly playing behind Embiid and Maxey? So he'd still have a similar role like he was in TOR or he can be the 3rd/4th interchangeable option on the Knicks - a team he is already familiar with.
The choice is ultimately up to him, but he would have a great thing in NY. Him and Bridges would cause a lot of havoc defensively against other teams.

They still don't have enough quality perimeter shooters and defenders, injuries aside, the Pacers exploited that weakness in their East Semi Finals series (as well as being way too quick on transition offence)
OG whilst a fantastic defensive beast, is not really renowned for his shooting prowess (plus his injury history)
They added a wing that made nearly 3 threes a game last year and OG is one of the most efficient corner three point shooters in the league and Divo I think top 3 in the 3PM
OG is gone mate.

Who was guarding Brunson from Miami? Rozier, Herro are not defensive players.

Comparing DPOY-Caliber Bridges to bum Harris?
The green teamers have never watched a single non Celtics game in their lives. I highly doubt they watch their own team, they just Stan for Tatum.
