Mikal Bridges’ future is in question, but not by his own decision. The forward faced the 2023-24 NBA season as a star of the Brooklyn Nets and a reference piece of a team that wanted to grow. However, the results have not been very good and at this point there is nothing clear in the New York organization; so much so that they have even fired their coach Jacque Vaughn (they have replaced him on an interim basis with Kevin Ollie).
Such a scenario of instability comes accompanied by the change of consideration regarding Bridges. Months ago, after his emergence in the final stretch of last year, the non-transferable sign was hung on him. It seemed somewhat exaggerated and, today, it has been revealed as such to the point that it has been leaked that the Nets do not refuse to complete a trade with him as the protagonist.
Although the price they will ask for will be very high, this has not prevented the name of potential buyers from emerging. Along these lines, various media outlets suggest that the New York Knicks could be a suitable destination for Bridges, since his playing style could fit perfectly with Tom Thibodeau who really likes that player profile. In addition, Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart, who were his teammates at Villanova University, are already there. Bridges knows all this, but he doesn’t lose focus on the present.

«I wasn’t raised to just want to leave when things get tough. I know people might want to think about different situations and teams. Obviously, I have my guys there in New York, so everyone is clear about that; However, I am here right now and I want to stay,” she says.
