It was just a few months ago when I was debating he was the better of the Bridges.

He’s just much rawer than I expected lol. I think he’ll be fine long term. He just had 25 points the day you were bashing him lol

TBF that dude is almost as old as Obi, so he's a bust regardless of what he does this season.

But the price it would've taken to get him was kinda ridiculous, and if we'd've paid that price and he was playing like this, we wouldn't look good, especially since bigs aren't true #1 options anymore on championship level teams, with the exception of Jokic, and Wiseman is nowhere near Jokic on offense, so we're not getting a #1 option out of the deal

I think he will be really good, especially if he can develop his shot and the flashes of handle we've seen, but to just say "Wiseman > Mitch" misses the point, because if it was 1:1, I think pretty much everyone makes that move, it's the opportunity cost of the other assets we'd have had to give up to get him that makes it not worth it.

Bottom line, this wasn't the draft to pay much to move up.

Agree...and even if we did, it would be for Ball or a G we really liked

I know you were with me on the Hayes tradeup for a modest inclusion but even that is looking a bit sketchy. Turned out the late pick Quick was not worth the difference there.

*Older. He turned pro out after his junior year.

He’s who I wanted in that draft. Wanted Vassell in this draft. An underrated archetype.

Their just pissed and lashing out. Remember the media has been telling them for years they fleeced the Knicks. Now they have to process the fact that the trade was more fair than they would have liked.

Randle being good is part of that equation too, especially if Randle is playing better than KP.
