The Knicks’ Mikal Bridges trade was worth it as New York closes in on NBA Finals: Edwards - The Athletic

The New York Knicks are closing in on an NBA Finals appearance, with Mikal Bridges playing a key role in justifying the blockbuster trade that brought him from the Brooklyn Nets. In Game 3 against the Cavaliers in Cleveland, Bridges scored 22 points on an efficient 11-of-15 shooting. The Knicks originally gave up five first-round picks and more to acquire Bridges two summers ago, a move widely criticized as an overpay at the time.
