On the morning of June 26, Beijing time, a blockbuster deal: the Nets traded "Bridge" Bridges and the 2026 second-round pick to the Knicks in exchange for Bojan, four unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029 and 2031), 2025 protected first-round picks (from the Bucks), 2028 first-round swaps and 2025 second-round picks.

The Nets' operation has not stopped, and the first-round swap with the Suns in 2025, the first-round pick from the Suns in 2027, and the first-round + first-round swap in 2029 were sent to the Rockets in exchange for the 2025 first-round swap and the 2026 unprotected first-round pick (which the Nets originally gave to the Rockets). To put it simply, the Rockets are traded 2 for 4 and the Knicks are traded 8 for 2 to get the bridge!

The Knicks bet on the future for the present, what is the Rockets? ESPN said the Rockets hoarded first-round swaps and first-round picks for the sake of Stud Durant. However, the Suns made it clear that they wanted to keep the Big Three for another year. If chasing KD is hopeless, these draft picks will be used elsewhere for the Rockets, who are very desperate to upgrade the roster!

The big trade for the Rockets is still in the works, so let's talk about Bridges and the Knicks! Ohashi tweeted: "It's crazy hahaha. "Why is Ohashi so happy? Because there are three good brothers in New York! The Knicks brought together four Villanova alumni – BridgeBridges, Brunson, Josh Hart, and DiVincenzo.

Knicks guard Hart pushed the welcome bridge for the first time: "Yo Yo Yo! Bridges, you've finally joined me. "To be honest, it's really not easy for four college teammates to reunite in the NBA. It's quite rare in the entire history of the NBA. The happiest should be Thibodeau, the iron man he has been waiting for is finally here!

Ohashi has never missed a game in six seasons of his career, and he has played in 474 consecutive games. A well-deserved active No. 1 iron man in the NBA, see if he can withstand Thibodeau? What is the concept of 474 games? Ayton, who is in the same class as Ohashi, has played 358 games in his career so far, Bagley 258 games, and Doncic 400 games!

I don't know who remembers, in fact, the bridge is also a chip that the Nets exchanged for Durant, counting today's deal, the Nets are equivalent to using Durant in exchange for Cameron Johnson + 8 unprotected first-round picks + 1 protected first-round pick + 2 first-round swap rights + 3 second-round picks. can only sigh with emotion: Durant is too valuable!

The Nets don't want to send the bridge to the Knicks. But this week, Ohashi requested a trade and told the Nets that he wanted to join the Knicks, and Boss Tsai agreed, as long as the Knicks gave him more first-round picks. Ohashi played in 82 games this season, averaging 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 43.6%, 37.2% and 81.4% from three.

The Nets' asking price for Ohashi has been high, and this season the Rockets offered Ohashi with a first-round pick from Jalen Green + a first-round pick, which was rejected by the Nets. The Nets have turned on rebuilding mode, and stockpiling multiple draft picks is a better option for them. The Knicks value winning in the moment, and they become the best team in the East! Next season is worth looking forward to!

Final question: Who do you think is the biggest winner in the Knicks' 8-for-2 deal?
