NEW YORK -- Mikal Bridges called it "surreal" to be joining the New York Knicks after the club sent five picks and a pick swap to the Brooklyn Nets to reunite the forward with three of his college teammates from Villanova's national title team in 2016.

Bridges, who was introduced at the Knicks' practice facility in suburban New York, said he'd been in Dallas in late June to work out with Nets teammate Dorian Finney-Smith and was hanging out with his friend, Grizzlies swingman Desmond Bane, when the trade happened.
