Knicks bolster their playoff hopes with the addition of Bridges
Bridges, a wing, is averaging 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season
The New York Knicks have acquired Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade, according to multiple reports. The Knicks sent Cam Reddish, Quentin Grimes, and a future first-round pick to the Nets for Bridges. Bridges is a 26-year-old wing who is averaging 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game this season. He is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions. The Knicks have been looking to add a wing to their roster all season, and Bridges fits the bill perfectly. He is a young, talented player who is still improving. He should be a key piece for the Knicks as they look to make a playoff push. The Nets, meanwhile, are in a rebuilding mode, and they are looking to trade away their veterans for young players and picks. Bridges is one of the few players on the Nets roster who has trade value, so it is not surprising that they were able to get a good return for him. The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Knicks get a young, talented player who can help them compete for a playoff spot, while the Nets get a package of players and picks that can help them rebuild their roster.
