[Shams] Sources: The Knicks are signing-and-trading Shake Milton as part of Mikal Bridges/Bojan Bogdanovic trade to the Nets, who will also send Keita Bates-Diop to New York. Milton will sign a three-year, $9 million contract, with over minimum in year one and two non-guaranteed years.



Nice, seems like we avoided that hard cap stuff. People were freaking out about it way too much lol

    Leon cooking. Glad we got this out the way.

  3. YanksJetsKnicks

    This is why all our speculation about the trade details is absolutely pointless lol. Nobody had a Shake sign and trade on their bingo card.

    So how does this help us? Can anyone explain?

  6. dragonforcingmywayup

    Never lose faith in our messiah. Lisan Al gaib.

    Perfect tank commander for the Nets

    And Nets fans seriously thought Deuce was going to be involved. Fucking LOL. Bates-Diop also isn’t a bad deep depth piece to have on roster.

  10. I really liked KBD coming out. Long defender. Hasn’t ever put it together outside I think of one seasons with the spurs but can get out there and defend multiple positions in a pinch. Nice depth piece

    Went from deuce/sharpe talks to a shake milton and keita bates diop swap LMFAOO

  12. Dragon-Bender

    Do we dodge the first apron hard cap with this?

    I also liked KB Diop for a while so that’s interesting

    You know for how savvy this front office is there is probably no way that the Knicks and Nets agreed to this deal without some kind of unofficial handshake acknowledgment that the Nets would accommodate us with all the cap stuff when it was officially was complete.

    The front office is not dumb enough to put them in a position to be strong armed to have to give up more assets

    What was the reason for this, to get money off the books for the Knicks?
    Hi, they’re getting a return. Doesn’t seem like he’s much I don’t know him but looking at his stats quickly. He’s seems like an average player 28 years old.

    do we think kbd stays on roster or hes packaged for richards/kessler. this doesnt feel like we’re finished just yet—and if im not mistaken we have more mle now by getting under the apron?

  16. papichino88

    Can someone confirm if the Shake S&T will technically be a separate trade? My understanding is you can’t S&T a player + add another outgoing player (Bojan) in the same trade.

  17. NYerInTex

    Don’t. Doubt. King Leon.

    One way or another he’s going to…

    Use somebody.

  18. Geep1778

    Who we trading him for though? Reading comprehension guys lol. At least that’s what I get from this

  19. Accomplished_Power_3

    Hahahahahahahahahahhahahaha nets fans rly thought they were getting deuce or precious s&t

  20. HipnotiK1

    funny that all the possibilities the so called experts mentioned, somehow shake was never a consideration. seems like a no brainer.

  21. Ok-Stretch1022

    Braces for the Diop for Walker Kessler trade posts on this sub.

  22. OweeeeeL
