The Nets had swept away offers for Bridges in previous transaction cycles that compiled as many as four first-round picks, sources said.
Through Monday, none of Brooklyn's conversations with those three teams or others were considered anything close to serious, sources said.
It all equates to six total years of draft capital, one of the largest if not the largest returns for a player never to be named an All-Star in NBA history.
Bridges is arguably worth more to the Knicks than any other team, a chance to bring a fourth Wildcat from Villanova's three-year run behind Jalen Brunson that netted national titles in 2016 and 2018.
