You’d be hard-pressed to find a team that’s taken care of more business over the last few days than the New York Knicks.
After swinging the summer’s biggest blockbuster so far, completing the first Knicks-Nets swap since 1983 in acquiring Mikal Bridges, the Knicks quelled the fanbase’s biggest worries by extending OG Anunoby to a five-year, $212 million pact.
Just hours later, Leon Rose swung a pair of trades to net six additional second-round draft picks, while taking 18-year-old Pau010dome Dadiet at 25th overall.
For the most part, the Knicks have achieved their goal for the offseason: completing a clear, tangible upgrade to their already stout roster so they stack up better with the Boston Celtics while also retaining the midseason acquisition that transformed them overnight.
