At his introductory press conference, Bridges expressed excitement to play with OG Anunoby, praising his skills and indicating a prior fan relationship with him from his time in Phoenix and Brooklyn.
Bridges joins three college teammates at Knicks with whom he won a national championship, preferring to be on their side than watching from afar.
The Knicks had to give up a significant number of assets to acquire Bridges from the Nets for his 3-and-D abilities at shooting guard, showing the team's determination to strengthen their roster.
Bridges was surprised and thrilled by the trade to the Knicks, which happened while he was at Desmond Bane's lakehouse, describing the moment as wild and unexpected.
