At long last, the 2024 NBA Draft is finally here. But while prospects get ready to hear their name called in New York City, the NBA trade landscape is heating up by the second.

While 2024 free agency doesn’t open until the start of next month, the trade market is in a frenzy, especially with this draft class. This year’s prospects are a bit underwhelming, setting up for a wild and wacky summer that could change the entire dynamic of the NBA landscape.

We’ve already seen one blockbuster trade this week, with the New York Knicks acquiring Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets for a boatload of future draft picks. Could more surprises like that be on the horizon? It sure is shaping up that way.

Here are the latest updates from around the NBA on draft night:

7 P.M. – Knicks trade for Mikal Bridges, Nets get massive haul

Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks and Nets have agreed in principle to a deal to send forward/defensive ace Mikal Bridges to the Knicks.

Shortly after the news broke on the Bridges deal, Woj was back with another big-time NBA move involving Brooklyn.

Brooklyn re-acquired their 2025 and 2026 first-rounders outright, sending Houston four unprotected firsts from the Knicks, a NYK pick swap in 2028 and a protected 2025 first from the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the end, it took the Nets four additional picks to acquire their own two firsts over the next two years.

Additionally, per reports, the Rockets are interested in flipping a massive amount of draft capital for a win-now superstar. Names mentioned include the Phoenix Suns’ duo Kevin Durant and Devin Booker at this time.
