In the deal, the Nets will get Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected first-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks, a 2028 unprotected pick swap, and a 2025 second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Aside from Bridges, the Knicks will also get a 2026 second-round pick.

"The Knicks pay a steep price to land one of the league’s most coveted trade assets and the Nets get a massive haul to replenish assets and embark on a rebuild with mass cap space and future draft picks," reported Wojnarowski.

The Knicks are "still determined" to keep OG Anunoby, who had declined his player option, but re-signing center Isaiah Hartenstein "becomes more difficult now" added Woj.

Bridges, who averaged 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.0 steals per game for the Nets last season, will reunite with former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo in New York.
