Knicks once again made a desperation move, and it is showing. Giving up THAT much for Bridges wasn't smart, but they think that they have a decent squad now, and if they can get someone who can fit the team very well, and Bridges does fit very well, then they may actually achieve something.

Trust me, the Knicks are way better now than what they are 2 seasons ago. This isn't a desperation move coming from the Knicks. They're just utilizing their draft picks just to get a good role player that will help Brunson and Randle carry the team.
They just gave OG Anunoby a 5-year $212M contract, and they also got Bridges. Both of them are very good at defending and that's what the Knicks want. They already have the offensive firepower already, and Bridges can be their center since he's also agile just in case Coach Thibs decides to have a small ball line up. I really didn't expect too much with Bridges when he's in Brooklyn because he's not enough to be the main start of a team. He's more of a good role player, and now he can do it again alongside his college teammates.
Looks like I may have been wrong on the Paul George situation. Golden State is reportedly offering him a 4 year contract with a max deal attached to it. I don't see Paul George passing this up. I'm not sure how well he will fit in with Golden State, but he's a major upgrade from Klay Thompson on both ends of the floor. I'm not sure where this would leave the Clippers going forward or if this will send Kawhi searching for a new team, but it's definitely interesting. It would be the first time Steph has a legitimate superstar as a teammate.
The Clippers have one option - match the salary that the Warriors are giving if they want PG13 to stay.
They just extended Kawhi's contract, but they don't want George to give a max contract. PG for me is the best star that's on the trading blocks and if the Warriors get him, they will be giving players like Wiggins, or maybe CP3 if they wanted too but his contract is too much for a player who's injury prone. Nevertheless, it's very exciting to see teams moving already.
I don't know, but this is the best time for me. Teams trading players, and we don't know which player will be going to which team.
