There are also other factors to consider, and Dan Favale recently considered them. He added that while the Knicks will likely give Bridges what he's looking for, there have been reports that the team is interested in Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The New York Knicks find themselves in a holding pattern. Mikal Bridges, one of their newest core players, is eligible for a contract extension, yet no deal has been struck. It’s not a matter of value; the Knicks gave up five first-round picks (or five very promising varsity players) to acquire him. So what’s the holdup?

Mikal Bridges is hoping to get an extension from the New York Knicks this offseason, but he might have to wait a while.

However, when recently speaking on a live stream with streamer IShowSpeed, Antetokounmpo noted that many want him to play for the New York Knicks. Knicks fans continue to run with that, despite any lack of evidence suggesting that he doesn't want to play for Milwaukee any longer.

The New York Knicks have some big decisions to make as the 2025-26 season approaches, and one could mean parting with Mikal Bridges.

The Knicks have spoken to Lakers assistant Greg St. Jean, the son of longtime NBA coach and executive Garry St. Jean. St. Jean spent four seasons at St. John’s as an assistant on Chris Mullin’s staff and worked in different roles for Sacramento, Phoenix and Dallas before joining JJ Redick’s staff.
