Knicks have discussed possibility of adding Miles McBride to Mikal Bridges trade
The team discussed the possibility of including Miles McBride in the Bridges trade, according to league sources — and not because they are itching to trade away a 23-year-old fireball on a minuscule contract, only $13 million over the next three seasons. It’s math. If they wanted to, the Knicks could find a third team to route McBride to, acquire a future first-round pick in the process and avoid the first-apron hard cap. His salary plus Bogdanović’s would just barely top Bridges’. But they have since shied away from that scenario, a league source said.

Mikal Bridges is a perfect fit as the Knicks chase elusive title
He’s never been an All-Star in his six NBA seasons, but Bridges is the sort of piece that makes sense with the current roster. newsday.com/sports/basketb… – 8:27 AM

The Knicks have traded the No. 26 overall pick to the Thunder.
New York pulls off a draft-and-stash with Pacome Dadiet and moves out of the first-round entirely with their other selection.
After trading for Mikal Bridges and re-signing OG Anunoby, New York is slyly saving cash. – 10:57 PM

Nets offseason thus far:
– Traded Mikal Bridges for B. Bogdanovic & 6 first-round picks (4 unprotected, 1 swap)
– Traded ’25 PHX swap, ’27 PHX 1st rounder, ’29 swap to Houston for their 2025 & ’26 1st rounders.
– Re-signed Claxton for $100m.
The Draft hasn’t even started. – 8:02 PM

League source confirms that OG Anunoby has agreed to a deal to return to the Knicks. @wojespn reports it’s a 5-year deal worth $212.5M. Knicks and Anunoby had gotten close on basic framework of deal before NYK traded for Mikal Bridges, per SNY sources. – 6:22 PM

With the Knicks’ max-level offer to re-sign OG Anunoby, it’s apparent there was concern about the Sixers looming as a potential threat once free agency opened.

So Mikal Bridges added and OG Anunoby extended, with Josh Hart having coming off a postseason of 48-minute games. Question: Is Julius Randle still on the Knicks? – 6:20 PM

More on this storyline
The Knicks can avoid the first apron hard-cap by adding to the Bridges trade. They’d need to add roughly $5 million in salary to the trade. If they accomplish that, the Knicks will be hard-capped at the second apron ($189.5 million). This would give them enough flexibility to offer Isaiah Hartenstein a deal that starts at $16.2 million. The Knicks are limited to that offer because they have Hartenstein’s Early Bird rights. -via SportsNet New York / June 27, 2024
Tyrese Haliburton on Mikal Bridges now playing for Tom Thibodeau: “Mikal Bridges has missed like no games… We’re testing the human ability here, because we’re getting— Mikal Bridges don’t miss any games, and Thibs almost play him 48 minutes, so who’s gonna win” -via reddit / June 27, 2024
Actually, scratch that. It ties last season’s team that didn’t have Mikal Bridges but did have Ryan Arcidiacono. If they add free agent Arcidiacano to the roster, they will be making history, with five collegiate champion teammates suiting up for the same NBA team. Here are four other iterations since 1990 that have had as many as three NCAA champion teammates playing together — and what, if anything, they can tell us about what may be the fate of this group. -via Yahoo!
