Sources — Knicks to acquire Mikal Bridges from Nets

The New York Knicks agreed on Tuesday to a trade that will see them acquire Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Knicks will send Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected first-rounder via the Milwaukee Bucks, a 2028 unprotected pick swap and a 2025 second-rounder to the Nets, sources said.

The Knicks also will acquire a 2026 second-round pick from the Nets to complete the deal.

Bridges, who averaged 19.6 points for the Nets this past season, now joins a New York team that reached the Eastern Conference semifinals this past season, losing to the Indiana Pacers in seven games. And he’ll link up with former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVencenzo in New York.

“This is crazy lol,” Bridges wrote on social media.

Bridges is owed $23.3 million and $24.9M over the final two years of his current contract. He is eligible to sign a two-year extension on Oct. 1, and can extend for an additional three years, $113M in six months.
