The Mikal Bridges trade is finalized. What’s next?

Yesterday, the Knicks and Nets agreed on an expansion to the previously agreed to Mikal Bridges trade. Tomorrow, the Knicks will officially announce the deal, welcoming the Villanova alumni across the Brooklyn Bridge for a hefty package.

For those not dialed in, the official trade looks like this:

NYK Receives: Mikal Bridges, Keita Bates-Diop, 2026 MIL/DET/ORL 2nd (least favorable)

BKN Receives: Bojan Bogdanovic, Shake Milton (sign-and-trade), Mamadi Diakite, 2025 NYK 1st, 2025 MIL 1st, 2027 NYK 1st, 2028 NYK Swap Rights, 2029 NYK 1st, 2031 NYK 1st, 2025 BKN 2nd
