One of the two star signings for the new season of the New York Knicks in the NBA is Mikal Bridges (the other being Karl-Anthony Towns). Both players joined the team via trade, meaning with the contract they previously held.
In Bridges' case, the small forward will be eligible to sign a two-year, $72.5 million extension on October 1. However, he has no intention of negotiating that renewal.
This is according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Mikal Bridges wants to wait until the end of the upcoming 2024/25 season.
The reason behind this decision, besides wanting to focus on basketball, is that he will be eligible for a four-year, $157 million extension in the next offseason.
