Knicks will be ‘rebuilding again’ when Mikal Bridges deal backfires: Draymond Green
NY Post
A four-time champion and noted Knicks skeptic believes the gamble for Mikal Bridges will backfire and force team president Leon Rose into another rebuild.
“I just don’t think that group is good enough to beat Boston. Ultimately you’re building a team that you hope can beat Boston. And I don’t think that team is going to beat Boston,” Draymond Green, the Warriors power forward, said on his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show.” “So you got a year or two like the Houston Rockets. I don’t know if y’all remember the Rockets when we [the Warriors] were on our run. … You got two years and it’s oops, that didn’t work. Clint Capela is gone. The first domino falls. And then once the first domino falls, that’s it. It’s gone from there. That’s what I think is going to happen. That’s how I see it playing out. If it don’t work, that’s exactly how it will play out. So you heard it here first.”
Green’s reference to the Rockets was about their failed attempts with James Harden past the Western Conference Finals, losing thrice to the Warriors in the playoffs.
The dismantling of that Houston squad — which started with Capela being traded to the Hawks — set off a current streak of four straight years out of the playoffs, which included three years with a winning percentage under .270.
The Knicks, who haven’t advanced to a conference finals since 2000, agreed to give up five future first-rounders and a pick swap to the Nets for Bridges.
It was the boldest move yet from Rose, who had been stockpiling draft picks for an opportunity to land a star.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
