Knicks Extend Bridges, Add Yabusele, Mull More Moves

The New York Knicks have secured Mikal Bridges with a four-year, $150 million extension that features a player option and trade kicker, providing financial flexibility for further roster moves. The team added Guerschon Yabusele to enhance depth and is considering signing veterans Kevin Love and Malcolm Brogdon to bolster the bench. Former Knick Precious Achiuwa is set to join the Miami Heat after New York chose not to re-sign him. Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have become contenders by acquiring Kevin Durant and Dorian Finney-Smith, while the Lakers and Celtics have also made significant roster adjustments. The Celtics are focusing on internal development with Jayson Tatum likely out for the season. Teams across the NBA, including the Pacers, are making strategic changes in response to key departures and new acquisitions.
