Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
Yes, he absolutely could. Bridges is the type of player who would make every team in the NBA better.
That’s something we already knew about him. Bridges have arguably been the best 3-and-D wing in the NBA for a couple of years. The fact that he looks like a shot creator in Brooklyn only adds to his already high value.
Alongside playmakers like Randle and Brunson, that skillset would be especially valuable. Bridges would thrive alongside each in light of the rim pressure they create.
If there are any reservations here, they’ll have to do with Bridges overlapping with RJ Barrett. That’s inconsequential. Barrett hasn’t played well enough to merit making decisions around.
