It isn’t worth thinking about what could’ve been, especially when it comes to the New York Knicks, but in this case, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
The Knicks have three players from the 2016 Villanova championship team, and fans would love to see New York find a way to acquire Mikal Bridges. The 26-year-old was traded to Brooklyn as part of the Kevin Durant deal in February and has three full seasons left on the four-year, $90 million extension that he signed when he was still in Phoenix.
After trading for Bridges, the Nets didn’t accept the Grizzlies’ offer of four first-round picks for the wing.
