- Gavin Schall is joined by Locked On Nets co-host Adam Armbrecht to discuss what kind of player the Knicks are getting in Mikal Bridges and why he struggled last season.
They dive deep on where Bridges faltered on offense relative to his starring performance in '22-'23, how OG Anunoby could potentially help him get back to his Suns defensive peak and how he'll fit in on both sides of the ball on the other side of the East River.

Thibs will know exactly how to use him defensively. The Garden will love him!
Can he check Jaylen Brown?
ââ@@davidbright8913That depends on your definition of checking a player like Jalen Brown? He is a Superstar player that can drop 30 on you on any given night. I think it's more of containing him so he doesn't get extremely hot because he is going to get his points regardless lol
I absolutely love d idea of Bridges n Anunoby defending da wings/perimeter.
I love it too but Donte was great next to Brunson. Like our 2/3 spot was covered. We really have a hole at PF/C spot. Bridges is great but positionally he doesn't fit where we have the biggest deficiency
@mrvk39 Really? U think so? Elaborate. I may b missing something.
Letâs go Knicks
Mikal playing the 2 and guarding other SGs = the opposing team's SG is gonna have a bad night
Mikal was the third option on a Suns team that made the Finals. Canât wait to see what he does on a Knicks team as the 3/4 option.
Number the offensive options for Knicks
@@en.4392 Brunson, Randle, Bridges/OG
@@Faro- now if we compare to Philly and Boston are you good with that?
@@en.4392 name me a team in the last 15 years that gutted their roster for a Big 3 and competed for a chip. Itâs about depth and pieces that fit seamlessly
@@Faro-1. will you or would you put money on the Knicks winning the chip over those two?
2. Lets be honest embiid w half a face and one eye was scary my boy was looking like the Philly terminator
3. I just hope Knicks win a chip with bridges bc that boy cost the Knicks future- bc that looked more like a Giannas package obviously needs more pieces to complete the trade
it's a little steep price to pay. but I think it's going to work. You do what you got to do.
yeah, it was a VERY steep price.. but I kind of trust Rose. So, it means there were no realistic trades for other stars like Giannis or Embiid or anything of that caliber. And we are losing contracts and picks, so we HAD to make the best trade available.
Nets, Knicks should finalize their trade with including the Jazz and make it a 3 team trade.
As long as tibs doesnât run him into the ground
Can you guys please do a "Scouting Ariel Hukporti:" so fellow Knicks fans can chill out on thinking we're thin at the 5.....Unless we get Kessler which would be a wet dream
Did we trade Adam Armbrecht to Locked on Knicks? and if so, what was the return this time?
Bridges is a perfect example of a miscast franchise player. He is very talented, he is durable, he is a team player, but he is NOT a superstar. Once he was the focus of offense, his efficiency declined, his defense dropped - all signs he cannot carry that load. BUT in NYK, he will be #3 option and he will be perfect in that role. I am certain he will become a great defender again, I am fairly sure he will become again highly efficient 50/80/40 guy and he can give us 22-23 points and maybe 4-5 assists, a block and close over 1 steal a game. He is perfect for stretching the floor and running fast-break, defending the best perimeter player of the opposing team, etc.
Soooo, Cam Thomas became the Nets best player and as a Celtics fan Iâm supposed to be concerned about Bridges? ðâïļ
KD for Randle would give the Knicks everything they need
Hard pass
@@taemac10 so is Randle better than KD?
Ju is the #2 optionâĶ. Pls stop the disrespect
I have never seen a all nba allstar player get so much disrespect. People say oh he didn't show up in the playoffs. Well this was the first year Joel actually showed up during the playoffs. It's crazy
What if Mikal was holding back to make himself more tradable for the Nets??ðĪ
Doesn't really make sense because they still got a haul for him. He just didn't really want to be in Brooklyn and he was in a bad team..
My point is if he was putting g up crazy numbers they wouldnât have been willing to move him at all.
@@BrooklynWill718 Those 27 games when he was first traded fooled a lot of people.
The nets guy rationalizing why Bridges wasn't good for them is laughable. Already making excuses for next year and how the few nets fans there are can clap back at Knicks fans.
Nets have more follower than new york dicks lmao
