Normally I begin an NBA Draft Day post needing to scour the internet for the latest rumblings and rumors just so I have some content to throw on a free-for-all post for the community to gather. Lucky for me, the Brooklyn Nets did all my work for me by blowing up their team overnight and (wisely) going into hard reset mode.
For those just waking up, the Nets traded coveted forward Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks for four(!) unprotected firt-round picks in ‘25, ‘27, ‘29, and ‘31, a protected ‘25 pick swap with the Milwaukee Bucks, a Knicks pick swap in ‘28 with no protections and a ‘25 second-rounder originally belonging to the Nets.
