Knicks Urged to Make Major Offseason Move Involving Mikal Bridges
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Knicks' dream of winning the NBA title this season is over. New York was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in six games within the Eastern Conference Finals, ending the playoff run they were on. As New York enters the offseason, the team has multiple questions to answer. There have been reports about the front office potentially looking to move on from Karl-Anthony Towns or other key players. More NBA news: Knicks Staff Reportedly Losing Patience With Karl-Anthony Towns But another big storyline from the offseason is what the team will do with forward Mikal Bridges. Bridges will be eligible for a four-year, $156 million extension before next season. New York paid a heavy price to land Bridges last offseason, and could be motivated by that to get a deal done. Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report has predicted that the Knicks will indeed extend Bridges to a massive deal. "After his star turn with the Brooklyn Nets, Mikal Bridges needed time to adjust to being a role player again on the Knicks. He's become a vital cog for them on both sides of the ball in the playoffs, though. New York is all-in with its core, and Bridges has just one year left in the deal. This offseason, the Knicks figure to do what they can to sign him to an extension."

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 12: Mikal Bridges #25 of the New York Knicks celebrates his shot against the Boston Celtics in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Second Round NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on May 12, 2025 in New York City. More PhotoFor the season, Bridges averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. Bridges gave this team another wing forward to use, but there were times when he lacked the physicality needed to win games. More NBA news: Rick Carlisle Doesn't Hold Back on Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals Matchup Due to the heavy financial strain on the Knicks' salary cap, it could see the team potentially move on from one of the stars. Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Towns, and Bridges would all have massive contracts on the books. With the new CBA in place, that could drastically impact how New York builds a contending team around the stars. But if the team were to move off one of those contracts, assuming they do extend Bridges, the Knicks could split that money up to build strong depth. The biggest weakness on the Knicks' roster this season was depth, and it showed in the postseason. Indiana was able to wear out New York throughout the series, so this will likely be a priority as the offseason unfolds.

Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner take in Knicks-Pacers Game 6 after making trip to Indy
The Knicks' superfans are ready for more Hoosier hospitality. Timothée Chalamet, 29, made a return trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, two days after the Knicks saved their season with a dominant 111-94 win over the Garden — and this time, he was with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

Getty Images The Pacers, now one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals, took Game 4 at home, with star Tyrese Haliburton putting up a triple-double in the 130-121 victory. Indiana was supported by some of their celeb fans Tuesday night, including former Colts punter and ESPN personality Pat McAfee, who called out Ben Stiller and Co. on the Jumbotron. 'Indianapolis, Indiana, we've got some bigwigs from the big city in the building,' McAfee, 38, began. Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller cheered on the Knicks during their Game 5 win on May 29, 2025, at MSG. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post '… Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears ringing. Let's turn this s–t up!' Advertisement The trolling not only perplexed Stiller — 'Just seems a little cartoonish' — but Indiana native and Hall of Fame singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, who apologized for McAfee's behavior on social media. 'I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team — and in turn, support our team. The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality. One could only say it's poor, poor sportsmanship. I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life,' the statement read. Pat McAfee called out the Knicks' celeb fans during Game 4. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect John Mellencamp then shaded Pat McAfee for his behavior. Getty Images 'On behalf of most Hoosiers, I would like to apologize for our poor behavior. I'm sure the Pacers had nothing to do with this smackdown.' Advertisement In return, McAfee told Mellencamp to 'shut the f–k up' on his self-titled ESPN program Friday. It remains to be seen if the Knicks' A-Listers will get the last laugh over McAfee Saturday night. If necessary, Game 7 shifts back to New York on Monday.
