I don't get why people think the Nets want to trade Bridges and it's always to a contender

Probably one the best returns for a superstar ever, in a big market, cap looks good, are they just not even supposed to try and be contenders themselves :heh:

They don't have it quite like that and Bridges can be a 2. But even still the Nets gonna trade the best one they got :skip:

And the worse ones can stay lol
Nah we're good I think we'll keep the bull :pachaha:

If the blazers came through offering pick #3 pick #24 and Sharpe and Simons I think you’d have to at least listen …that’s a great return for a team in search of direction

If they had their own picks, maybe.

Bridges is in a rare situation where he'll appreciate in value.

Having 4 rookies is asking a lot of any team. They're gonna wanna consolidate or kick the can down the road for other picks. BK would want a future first(or 2) and let them keep #24 instead

Besides not owning our picks til like '29, I don't think we're searching for direction

Keep developing Claxton, Bridges, Cam Johnson, actually play Cam Thomas, either use PHX/DAL picks and get a guy or keep the books open for another upset star to come. You're not directionless if you don't win the trophy only one team can do that

If that’s a “direction” to you and you’re satisfied with that ..god bless you ..I personally think Brandon Miller has the potential to be as good as Bridges in his prime and I’m really high on Sharpes potential as well …that duo together could be an incredible wing tandem for the next 10 years if all goes well … and if Scoot dropped to #3 that could be a franchise PG for the team ..but hey ..if they’re putting all of their eggs into the Mikal Bridges basket ..a guy they were 12-15 with post trade …god bless them ..hopefully that works

See above…. And besides flipping the #24 pick in the current draft for someone’s future draft shouldn’t be that difficult to do

I hate Kyrie’s smart dumb shyt but he would be gunning and puttin nikkas like Jamaal Murray in the blender and wouldn’t be a faghot like D’Angelo Russell :hubie:

I’m all for it fukk it

@Black Mamba
I was wrong here. It would be a terrible mistake to get Kyrie cause the Lakers would be right back to where they were with Russ.

3 stars with no depth and no wings that defend

After decompressing I’ve come to the conclusion and accepted that the Nuggets are the best team in the league and Joker is the most dominant player in the league and the best player in the world

He made AD look like that because of his greatness

Some logical trades imo:

-(If Portland is set on keeping Dame):
Blazers get - Siakim, OG
Raptors get- Simons, #3 pick, Nurkic, Little, future 1st

-(If Portland blows it up)
-Blazers get : Jordan Poole, Kuminga, Moody, 2 or 3 Firsts
-Warriors get: Dame Lillard

-(Mavs re-sign kyrie)
Mavs get: Bradley Beal
Wizards get: jaden Hardy, #10, THJ, Bertrans, future 1st, OR

-Mavs get: Mikal Bridges
Nets get: Hardy, THJ, #10

-Warriors get: Mikal Bridges,
Nets get: Poole, Kuminga, Moody or a future 1st

-Kings get: Mikal Bridges
Nets get: Keegan Murray, future first or 2, Holmes

-Wizards get: Gobert, future 1st
Wolves get: Porzingis

-Suns get: FVV
Raptors get: Ayton, 2026 First, OR

-Suns get: Jerami Grant
Blazers get: Ayton, 2026 First
You must of been smoking that za when you came up with these trades :mjlol:

Nets are not trading Mikal, we’re not rebuilding.
