In this segment, BT and Sal dive into the New York Knicks' recent decision to sign Mikal Bridges to a four-year, $150 million contract extension. While acknowledging the value of Bridges taking slightly less than the maximum, both hosts express skepticism regarding the hefty price tag given his performance in his first year with the team. They discuss whether new coach Mike Brown can unlock a "heightened version" of Bridges offensively, and the conversation veers into a passionate debate about the potential acquisition of Ben Simmons, with Sal surprisingly advocating for the former Sixer's theoretical fit in a modified role, and BT adamantly against it due to Simmons' perceived lack of commitment and injury history.
