The Brooklyn Nets received the young Mikal Bridges among other pieces in exchange for Kevin Durant, who headed to the Phoenix Suns after the transfer of Kyrie Irving to Dallas Mavericks.
Bridges was able to get out of the Nets at yesterday’s deadline; However, the New Yorkers decided to keep him despite receiving a large offer of up to four first rounds of the Draft in exchange for him, one of them protected, as reported by journalist Zach Lowe from ESPN.
“I know of a team, and I’ve confirmed it,” Lowe said. “I know of a team that offered up to four first rounds for Mikal Bridges,” he noted.
At the moment, the name of the franchise that put such an offer on the table has not come to light, but according to rumors, everything indicates that the Memphis Grizzlies or the New Orleans Pelicans could be the most interested in Bridges.
In 56 official games (all as a starter) he has obtained figures of 17.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 36.4 minutes per day.
