Well...I guess I was wrong when I said that Mikal Bridges would be the best overall

player on the Suns by next year at this time. His offense is coming on very strong and as expected... his D has dropped, but only a bit. Almost impossible to increase your offensive load like he has this year...and still give maximum effort on the defensive end.

Right or wrong, I've previously also said I would trade BI for a package including Mikal and to be honest, there wouldn't have to be much more involved in that "package". So obviously...I WANT MIKAL...but please...can somebody come up with a way we can get Mikal & STILL...hang on to the Herbster? I'll hang up & listen...

Don't know if they would take it, but Dyson plus this years protected lakers pick with Jax and DG as salary filler works in the trade machine. IDK if its correct but the trade machine says Bridges can't be traded with Claxton since he was just traded.

The KD trade is not finalized with the league so Bridges can still be re-routed with other players from Brooklyn

no way you trade BI for Bridges, but he is high on my list to acquire.


it depends on if Nets are going rebuild. if so we have the draft capital and can fill with Jax, DG, kira, temple to make it work.

In that case JV and the Pels 2025 first to add claxton into the deal. You could always add a second as well but that feels like a fair deal. I'm also a Pels fan so I'm sure I'm skewed our way. I feel like Dyson should be valued as a lotery first, then they'd get 2 more firsts so 3 firsts plus JV for MB and Claxton seems like a good deal. Also they'd have some cap space to make a run at a free agent this year and have DG's expiring for next.

Edit to add:

Dyson
JV
DG
Jaxson
2023 1st (top 3 protected)
2025 1st (Lottery protected)

for

Bridges
Claxton

Understand why most would feel that way...and that's why I always say BI for a "package" involving Mikal. I will admit the "package" wouldn't have to include as much stuff, other than Mikal...for me... as it would for everybody else.

Tried it again and the financials might be a bit wonky so it could mean Kira instead of Jax going out. Still, not much change to me in what we're giving up long term.

Any trade involving BI for Bridges would only happen if we’re trying to tank because it’s a clear downgrade.

everyone talking about Bridges and Claxton together, but it would have to include Dyson or Herb.

Do you guys really think we need CLaxton that much to loose a great defender in Herb and a potential Lead PG who can do everything in the future?

I dont think Claxton is worth it, go out and get a backup like J mCGee or Olynick much cheaper.

Im super high on Dyson future.

Bridges is a nice player, but he’s raises the floor, not the ceiling if Ingram is shipped out.

Also, who was guarding Ingram in last years playoffs?

Well thankfully, you're not in a position to implement such an insane trade.
