The Knicks are acquiring the Nets forward in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic and major draft capital.

The New York Knicks have finally re-united the Villanova trio as they traded for Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Make no mistake, Bridges is an excellent player. He was a critical part of the Suns' Finals run in 2021 and is a great defender who creates his own shot. Last season, he averaged 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 52.1% from the field and 37.2% from three. He is a true volume shooter, hitting that three-point percentage on seven attempts a game.

Atlanta did not have the draft capital to responsibly do this. Even if they gave away the No. 1 overall pick, they would have effectively crippled their future for Bridges. He is simply not the kind of player that Atlanta could do that for. The cost of putting him next to Jalen Johnson would simply be too high.
