OG Anunoby has played 50 games or fewer in three of the last four seasons. Got hurt in the playoffs this year.
Good luck. – 6:25 PM

With the Knicks’ max-level offer to re-sign OG Anunoby, it’s apparent there was concern about the Sixers looming as a potential threat once free agency opened.

That’s an incredible top 8 in any playoff rotation. Doubt they get Hartenstein back now, but who knows… – 6:18 PM

If the NYK / BKN trade remains as just Bridges for Bogdanovic, NYK becomes hard-capped at the 1st Apron, since Incoming salary is > Outgoing salary.
If hard-capped at the 1st Apron, they’ll have ~$45M for 6 roster spots, making it difficult to sign OG Anunoby.

I keep on hearing that the Knicks went all-in on the Bridges deal. I don’t agree with that statement.
Here’s how they’re set up for potentially even more trades, and what happens with Anunoby/Hartenstein:

Dating back to the start of the 2022-23 season, only four players have made more than 100 corner three-pointers while converting over 42% of their attempts.
Three of those four are now Knicks:

Over the past few seasons, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges were touted as the premier starter-level wings that every team is dying to have, who could fit anywhere, and would cost a lot to acquire since there are so few players like them.
The New York Knicks got both of them. – 12:43 AM

Providing Knicks can sign Anunoby it will be an interesting exercise for Thibodeau to plot out a lineup. Whatever the choice it is a deep and talented roster – along with 3 picks in the draft (although I wouldn’t be surprised now if they try to push at least 1 pick for a future) – 11:26 PM

Mikal Bridges’ side made it clear to Nets he wanted to be a Knick. But Nets didn’t have to trade him. Knicks made an offer BKN couldn’t refuse. More on that, why Isaiah Hartenstein is unlikely to be back & what it means for OG Anunoby & more here: pic.twitter.com/Zu5uMmeAFd – 11:16 PM

So the #Knicks landed Mikal Bridges… that’s bad for the #Sixers.
Insiders think NYK still re-signs OG Anunoby.
But the Knicks should now likely be out of the PG-13 sweepstakes… Oh and maybe KD could be on the move?

The Bridges trade almost def takes NYK out of running for PG, but doesn’t have to jeopardize Anunoby’s future there.
They have his Bird rights. Still have $30m in cap after you add up their guaranteed salary. Still fairly easy to keep him (that defense would be insane). – 10:30 PM

The New York Knicks are now hard capped to the $178.7 million first apron by taking back more salary than they’re sending out.
This will have roster-building implications.

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: League source confirms that OG Anunoby has agreed to a deal to return to the Knicks. @wojespn reports it’s a 5-year deal worth $212.5M. Knicks and Anunoby had gotten close on basic framework of deal before NYK traded for Mikal Bridges, per SNY sources. -via Twitter @IanBegley / June 26, 2024
Fred Katz: Knicks are re-signing OG Anunoby, league source confirms. The Knicks now boast one of the league’s best defensive duos on the wing in Anunoby and Bridges. An expected move after the Bridges trade. @wojespn first with the news. -via Twitter @FredKatz / June 26, 2024
But the Knicks remain confident that they can re-sign OG Anunoby, according to a league source. If they do, he and Bridges would form one of the league’s most smothering defensive duos on the perimeter. Rank the NBA’s 3-and-D wings, and you won’t have to count long before naming both of those stoppers. -via New York Times / June 26, 2024
