Knicks gave up a ton, Bridges a solid 2 way role player on a reasonable contract but if resigning Anunoby they might lose Hartenstein who is a solid post player, so somewhat a wash? Anunoby overrated IMO to give like $40M+. Sixers were stuck with Tobias Harris' bad contract for years. C's need to add a few of Torrey Craig, Naji Marshall, Hayward Highsmith, Jeremiah Robinson Earl, Duop Reath. A trade for Tari Eason and or Walker Kessler would be nice
My question is, how long does it take for a team to play the right way to unlock the full potential of the all-switchable offense and defense? I feel like the Cs have been on this path for a very long time, longer than the Knicks at any rate, with a more stable core of players. I like the concept of the all-Nova squad; it’s a good story. I mostly wonder if they’ll be able to feel their way into executing at top levels within the first year of being together
It’s a totally fair question! Most teams need a year or two to develop the habits. I do think NYK is closer than people think though, and Bridges already has familiarity with the teammates which will help
One of the biggest challenges in pro sports, putting together the right pieces. Nets tried with Pierce & Garnett, Durant and Kyrie and are now blowing it up again. Lakers with Lebron and AD. Took Danny and Brad a decade to find the right pieces. Nothing is guaranteed and 90% of the time these changes fail

Personally, I’m not expecting a trade (for a player) but I do like the vet names listed here!
