Revealing the Bridge s contract renewal in advance: Knicks learns that Antetokounmpo will not apply for leaving the team, details of the 150 million contract are exposed

On August 1, according to ESPN's famous reporter Shams, Mikal Bridges has reached a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the Knicks in advance, revealing that the two sides renewed the contract in advance, and before the Knicks renewed the contract with Okha Bridge, Antetokounmpo will not apply for leaving the team; the Knicks' starting five tigers have a total remaining salary of up to $740 million.

Bridges could have renewed the four-year, $156 million maximum salary contract in advance, but he chose to cut his salary and renew his contract; Knicks reporter Fred Katz reported that Bridges chose to get $6 million less because he prioritized the continued success with the Knicks; after Oshiki got $6 million less, the Knicks had a better chance of avoiding the second rich line in the 2026-27 season.

Ashish Mathur reported that NBA sources revealed that the Knicks had learned information before renewing the contract with Bridge in advance: Antetokounmpo will not apply for a transaction from the Bucks; after completing the early renewal, Bridge will not be traded within the next 6 months.
