The Knicks received concerning Mitchell Robinson news during their Finals run, creating fresh uncertainty at a crucial time.

The star big man will be extension-eligible this summer for a deal projected to be worth $272MM over four years.

One month ago, I was certain the New York Knicks had made an irrevocable mistake with the Mikal Bridges trade. It would be remembered as the deal that changed the landscape of NBA trades forever, and the tragic end to the Villanova Telenovela.

The New York Knicks are reportedly bowing out of the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes -- regardless of the outcome of the NBA Finals.

On top of that, New York jettisoned zero players of consequence in the trade. Bojan Bogdanović, Mamadi Diakite and Shake Milton were the names sent out to make the math work. The absence of a high-impact veteran or blue-chip prospect in the package always necessitated a draft-pick premium. That would have been true for any team—not just the Knicks.

The ultra-controversial Mikal Bridges trade is starting to pay off massively for the New York Knicks. However, it's fair to wonder if it was still an overpay.

Mikal Bridges is doing his part, and the New York Knicks are about to end an NBA Finals drought because of it.

Mark Williams wants to get paid this summer, but so does Mitchell Robinson of the Knicks and he will after his playoff showing.
