Mikal Bridges agreed to a four-year, $150 million extension with the New York Knicks on Thursday, per multiple reports. The Knicks gave up five first-round picks to acquire Bridges last June and he rewarded them by taking less than he could have earned to lock in to a future with former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

Former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is not the All-NBA player he once was, but he can still be a helpful player. Back injuries have robbed him of his athletic ability and he is not the same player he was while helping the Sixers morph into contenders.
