Mikal Bridges traded to Knicks: Ex-Villanova star acquired for five first-round picks in blockbuster with Nets
Bridges joins former Wildcats Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart in New York
By Sam Quinn • 3 min readThe Brooklyn Nets are trading star forward Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks for a monster trade package, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Knicks will send the Nets unprotected first-round picks in 2025, 2027, 2029 and 2031 along with a protected 2025 first-round pick from the Bucks, an unprotected 2028 first-round swap and a 2025 second-round pick, according to Wojnarowski. Bojan Bogdanovic will also be in the deal as matching salary.
As a secondary deal attached to this one, according to Wojnarowski, the Nets have also agreed to a trade with the Houston Rockets that will bring the Nets back their first-round pick in 2026 in exchange for a 2027 first-round swap originally belonging to the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets also acquired the right to swap whichever first-round pick they have in 2025, which would either be their own or Oklahoma City's, with Phoenix's, which had belonged to the Nets. In exchange for that, Houston relinquished its right to swap that pick with Brooklyn's in 2025, allowing the Nets to retain control over their picks for the next two years. According to Wojnarowski, the Rockets are attempting to use those Suns picks to trade for Kevin Durant, though Phoenix has thus far resisted.
Bridges completes New York's group of former Villanova stars. The Knicks already employed Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart from Villanova's two championship teams late last decade. Now, they add Bridges, a star defender and shooter who has improved significantly as a shot-creator of late, to the equation. With Julius Randle still on the team and the potential for New York to re-sign OG Anunoby as well, the Knicks now figure to be one of the favorites for the 2025 championship. SNY's Ian Begley reported that Anunoby remains "a priority" for the team.
Begley also reported that the deal came together quickly after Bridges informed the Nets that he wanted to be a Knick and was prepared to use that leverage to prevent other teams from trading for him. Bridges had been a rumored Knicks target for years because of that Villanova connection, and now he is joining his former teammates.
