Knicks acquire Mikal Bridges from Nets in blockbuster trade

The Villanova reunion is now complete.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks are acquiring Nets forward Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets after the two New York basketball cities have agreed in principle on Tuesday night.

This move brings Bridges, a long-time Knicks target, to a team filled with former college teammates and close friends Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo. The quartet won an NCAA National Championship with Villanova in 2018.

In exchange for Bridges, the Knicks are sending out Bojan Bogdanovic (who they got in last season’s trade deadline), four unprotected picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected Milwaukee first, a 2028 unprotected pick swap, and a 2025 second-round pick. New York will also receive a 2026 second-round pick from Brooklyn in this deal.

This is the first major move by the Knicks in the offseason as they await to resign free agents OG Anunoby and Isaiah Hartenstein. Anunoby and Hartenstein have been instrumental in New York’s success in the playoffs and are set to receive their big paydays. However, with New York acquiring Bridges, resigning both guys appears to be a much trickier situation now.
