Mikal Bridges will wait until after this season to discuss a contract extension with the New York Knicks, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Bridges will become eligible to sign a two-year, $72.5 million extension on October 1. Bobby Marks reported last month that Bridges is unlikely to sign that extension.

Bridges is currently restricted by the league’s six-month rule where players are limited to four total years under contract during the first six month after a trade.

Bridges had two years left on his deal when he was acquired by the Knicks.

Bridges will be eligible for a four-year, $157 million extension next offseason.

The Chicago Bulls will continue to seek out a trade of Zach LaVine, but his market is believed to be tepid.

While the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz have been linked with LaVine, sources have told Marc Stein that both teams do not much interest in trading for him.

LaVine is entering Year 3 of a five-year, $215 million contract signed with the Bulls in 2022. LaVine played in just 25 games last season before undergoing season-ending foot surgery. Both the Bulls and LaVine are motivated to find a trade resolution.

Chicago previously attempted to trade away LaVine by attaching Alex Caruso to him. This trade scenario was taken off the board following the Bulls’ trade of Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey.
