We have no idea if those 2 players are on the block (why would they be? They’re young and good), and even if they were available, it would have cost us 5- 6 firsts to pull it off Nets turned down an offer of 4 firsts for bridges, fyi


It’s tiring to keep seeing these we should have traded for Bridges threads. Nets have absolutely zero incentive to tank since they stupidly gave away their future. Numerous first round picks woukd do them no good.

If they flame out in the playoffs then what good do role players do them? Maybe they hold onto Bridges hard, but how many picks does it take to turn JV and Naji into Claxton and DFS?

Getting real rotation players back let’s them tread water and stay respectable while gaining assets to find a star to add to the mix.

They have their 2023 pick, so it would’ve been the best thing for them this year to try to get a quick blow up and tank job in as Houston only has swap rights, and they’re the worst team in the league, so Brooklyn could’ve pretty much assured themselves a top 4 pick if they would’ve taken the sell everything approach
