Finally completed the signing! A total of US$740 million, completely abandoning Antetokounmpo!

The NBA news came today, that is, the New York Knicks officially renewed their contract with forward Bridges.

Bridges was returned from the Knicks' transaction at a big price. At that time, they sent Boyan Bogdanovic, 4 unprotected first-round picks, 1 protected first-round pick, 1 first-round pick swap rights and 1 second-round pick, and then they switched from the Brooklyn Nets to Bridges.

Bridges also performed well, and his defense and offense satisfies the Knicks. Bridges defeated the Boston Celtics twice in the playoffs last season, and then controlled his ball-use rate to about 19%, averaged 2 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 35.4% per game, and also controlled the mid-range shooting percentage to about 50%. Players like

are hard to come by for the Knicks, because the Knicks' ball rights are concentrated in the hands of Brunson and Towns, so they need 3D players like Bridges.

It is reported that the Knicks renewed Bridges with a four-year, $150 million contract. Bridges also cut his salary. He could have signed a four-year, $156 million contract, but he gave up about $6 million to help the Knicks relieve the salary pressure.

In this way, all the five starting players of the Knicks received guaranteed contracts. The total contract amount of Brunson, Hart, Towns, Anunobi and Bridges combined exceeded $740 million, making it the most expensive starting lineup in NBA history.

The Knicks were willing to do this because they received the news that "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo will not leave the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, so they put all their money on their players.
