Huge loss IMO since he was the perfect fit at center for this team. So now since the end of last season the question becomes would you trade Hartenstein and 5 first round picks for Bridges? That’s a resounding “no”. Not sure how they come up with a decent center but it all changes if they do.
It doesn't work that way. Knicks were capped at 4 years $72M for IHart due to his Early Bird rights. He still would have went to OKC regardless of the Bridges trade.
