Late Thursday afternoon, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges has agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the franchise. This deal was not overly shocking, as after looking at how much the Knicks gave up to get Bridges last offseason, it was a no-brainer to extend. However, the dollar amount of this deal should make the Pelicans' front office and their fans laugh.
$150 million divided by four years rounds out to $37.5 million on average per season. On top of that, Bridges has a player option for the 4th year and a trade kicker.
