The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to trade forward Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks in a blockbuster deal. The Knicks will send Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a protected first-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks (2025), an unprotected pick swap (2028), and a second-round pick (2025) to the Nets. Bridges, who has two years remaining on his contract with $23.3 million and $24.9 million for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons respectively, will join his former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo on the Knicks. This marks the first trade between the Knicks and Nets since 1983. The deal came together quickly after Bridges expressed his desire to join the Knicks. The Knicks will also receive a 2026 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
