Knicks’ Mikal Bridges deal means long 2025 NBA Draft wait
NY Post
The Knicks don’t presently own a first-round selection in Wednesday night’s NBA Draft in Brooklyn.
That means they likely will have to wait until the event’s second day to make the first offseason addition to their roster, barring a trade.
While they wait for their current position at No. 50 overall in Thursday’s second round, the Knicks will watch the outcomes of the first two of the five first-rounders they shipped to the Nets in the Mikal Bridges deal last summer.
Brooklyn received what turned out to be the No. 19 pick via Milwaukee in the swap, plus the Knicks’ scheduled pick at No. 26.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
