Mikal Bridges Traded to New York Knicks in Exchange for Bogdanović and Picks
Mikal Bridges is set to reunite with his former teammates in Manhattan.
The Brooklyn Nets have traded Bridges to the New York Knicks in exchange for Bojan Bogdanović and multiple future draft picks.
The former Villanova star will join Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo at the Knicks, reuniting a group with a history of collegiate success.
The deal includes several first-round picks and swaps over multiple years, indicating a strategic move for both teams.
Bridges had an impressive season with the Nets, averaging nearly 20 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Brooklyn, on the other hand, is entering a rebuilding phase with hopes of utilizing the draft picks to reshape their roster under new head coach Jordi Fernández.
Following the trade, the Nets restructured draft picks with the Houston Rockets as part of a broader strategy to potentially acquire Suns' star Kevin Durant in the future.
While the Rockets aim for significant upgrades, the Knicks are focused on utilizing Bridges' talent to push for a deep playoff run next season.
