The New York Knicks completed a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets, acquiring Mikal Bridges and Keita Bates-Diop in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic, Shake Milton, four unprotected first-round picks, a pick swap, and a second-round pick. The Knicks also included a sign-and-trade of Milton, who will join the Nets on a three-year, $9 million deal. This trade reunites Bridges with his former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo, bolstering the Knicks' roster chemistry. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls are attempting to trade Nikola Vučević and potentially pairing him with Lonzo Ball for an expiring max contract to better align with their rebuilding timeline. A radical idea suggests a trade involving Ben Simmons, which could benefit both the Bulls and the Nets by aligning with their respective strategic goals.
