Took a huge risk on himself and it paid off big time. Wasn’t Charlotte original offer 60 million over 4 years?
I think it was 4/110 or 4/90 something. Same thing Mikal got offered at the beginning of the season.
Miles earned that shyt :manny: It'd be one thing if he just put up better numbers, but he straight up replaced Hayward's impact and helped the team transition faster.

I have no idea why Mitch's future is even being talked about though. Dude unfukked the cap situation we were in, found value out of each of the second picks he traded for along with drafting well, and has been honest about the team overachieving since last year. He's probably one of the best GMs in the league since he's started here. Stretching Batum's contract was the worst thing he's done but if that was the cost of getting rid of him then it was worth it too.

:patrice:

20/7/4 at 24 years old, finally getting to the free throw line regularly and even got his TO% under control - also everyone gives Mikal props for not missing a game, but Miles is literally #2 at minutes played this year. If we had a center to play behind him, his defensive stats would be even better too.

He's done everything you could reasonably ask him to do. How do you not max him?

And you'd be saying shyt just to be saying shyt :skip:Miles getting a max makes more sense than Lavine and Shai's deals both at the time they signed on. And if he hit the market, he'd get offered the max from other teams anyways.

This ain't some Mike Conley situation where we have to pay the guy for his value to Charlotte explicitly.

I agree with your premise, but let’s not sell Shai short just because he plays in OKC. Dude can ball and I’d take him over both Lavine and Bridges.

MPJ getting the max from Denver fukked up the market for everybody as players better than him can easily ask for the max.

Is Miles Bridges better than Mikal Bridges in Phoenix?
Mikal is a legit role player - he's great at what he does, but that's what he is :dwillhuh: Would he be the scoring leader or even able to play the defense he wants in Charlotte? If anything its wild how no one brings up the Otto Porter blueprint with him.

I'm not selling Shai short, he got paid to stay - and most of the time they don't even want him to play because that team will fukk around and win on accident.

If Miles wasn't already in Charlotte, he's basically the exact type of player you'd want to pair next to LaMelo anyways.

Nah he’s not a role player he’s the best 3 and D SF in the league and about to win Defensive Player of the Year.

He PLAYS a role on that team there’s a difference. A winning team that might win the championship by the way

Mikal got 4years $90 million at that..

Miles wants double that

:mjlol:
