My Theory: High possibility of Nets and Rockets trade

Well, give you credit when it happens...... Moochie Norris is the man.

 

Problem with bridges is he will likely be an albatross contract in 2 years if he gets close to a max. I don’t think we’re ready to compete for a title now, which is where we would need to be to give up all those assets for a 3rd banana type

 

Yeah, unfortunately Bridges is not young enough to risk that........he has done nicely for himself no doubt.

A player that can be a fan's favorite.

If he had the enormous claw hands of Kawhi I would say yes....but he has not....

 

No you can’t. Sengun will be on a max, bridges on a max, and a big free agent? Even with FVV gone it doesn’t work, bridges isn’t good enough for that. You would also have jabari coming up for a contract

 

High probability...

"I have a theory"

100% maybe

LMAO

 

Right now, the Rockets are looking good right now with the Brooklyn trade. On TANKATHON Brooklyn are in 10th place at this very moment in the NBA draft selection, and they have selected Tari and Cam with those previous Brooklyn picks.

Bridges has 3 years left on his contract(21 million, 23 million and 24 million) and 27 years old. Jalen will be 22 years old next month and will be looking for a big extension.

Trade: Brooklyn receives Green, Bullock, give Brooklyn back their 2026 FRP, all the swaps and seconds to the Nets(keep the 2024 FRP) and we receive Bridges.
I would give up on Green, he is a average defender, a inconsistent scorer and a non-alpha leader…..a 6th Man

With Sengun, Bridges and FVV we would be in the playoffs, plays the other young guys and maybe upset somebody in the first round.

Bridges is a consistent shooter, all nba defender and a vocal leader.

 

I think Bridges took a step back this year and has shown that his ceiling isn’t quite as high as everyone thought. I don’t think I would give the Nets back their picks when they are looking so good for that.

 

I like it but I think the Nets are going to ask for Cam or their 2024 pick to be included. Maybe they can take Tate off our hands, but I doubt Ime would let that happen.

 

my guess is, with the Bkn Picks and Swaps, Ime would try his hand on picking his own talents using his 'Team', [considering physical attributes, skills, mental aptitude, etc--things that he likes]... training them while also trying to win with current line-up[other players young or old maybe traded to mix and match Ime's preferences--in which will eventually lead to some glittery hardwares]

 

I guess they would want control over their picks but Brooklyn never really cared about the draft.....in history.....

 

I would not give them any young players. I would not give them any deep 1sts.

They can have 2024 (Top 10) and 2025 (Top 5?) for Bridges, that's it. That, or F off.

 

If we give them their pick back for this summer, that's going to be a top 5 pick for them. What would you expect from another team in return for trading a top 5 pick? You'd expect a Mikal Bridges type player. I don't know why we'd trade more than that to the Nets.

 

gitr dunn mauri!

i thought this year's draft class is weak sauce?

 

I don't think that the Nets are tanking yet. They are still trying to win games. They just aren't very good. Everyone has severely overrated their players. They don't even have a #2 on a championship team. They have a horrible front office, but I think that better options will become available.

 

The Nets have no reason to tank.

They can keep Bridges and create $78m in cap space in the coming offseason by moving Simmons - they also have the option to stretch him which would create $64.7m instead of the above $78m.

They have 8 first round picks. 5 of those are unprotected.

Brooklyn Nets - Future Draft Picks | Fanspo

Houston Rockets - Future Draft Picks | Fanspo

If they want to add talent, they have the means - they may actually be in better shape draft asset wise than the Rockets who have only 7 picks in the same timeframe and owe pick swaps to OKC on two of those that they do own making them even less valuable.

I wouldn't count on the Nets giving away Bridges.

 

I hope the Rockets aren't giving up any of Tari, Amen or Cam for Bridges.

 

Bravo. Sneakily disguised, random trade idea
And it's time to trade jalen green with a side of fo all in with bkn picks.

Bravo
