The Knicks payment to the Hornets for helping them get Karl-Anthony Towns is two second-round picks.
, the Knicks and Timberwolves had to recruit a third team — the Hornets — to absorb players into cap space and allow the salaries to match.
Because the deal wasn’t finalized by Tuesday afternoon, Towns couldn’t participate in the first day of Knicks training camp in Charleston. “Yeah, it was tough in Brooklyn, we were losing. Even personally, I think I didn’t handle it as well as I could,” Bridges said after finishing his first practice with the Knicks in training camp. “I always preach mental toughness and never losing your spirit. But it was just something I never dealt with like that. And, I think it was just a lot just for that team in general when I was there and the expectation for everybody and I think I didn’t handle it as good as I should have.
With the Nets, Bridges took on the burden of the No. 1 offensive option and struggled with efficiency as the focus of the opposition’s defense.“When you got two All-NBA guys like that, that’s what it is,” Bridges said. “It’s definitely going to open up spacing.”“I know how he plays, he knows how I play,” Brunson said, “the chemistry is still there.”
