Honestly, Mikal, he’s not as skilled as BI (yet) but he’s more durable.
Either would be a good pairing for AD post Bron but Mikal just has more upswing now. I just worry about BI’s durability.

Wouldn’t complain with either lol but BI

Depends on how long you think Lebron gonna keep playing. BI lines up perfectly assuming Lebron plays out his contract (opts in next season). Mikal got another year after that. Also gotta hope neither qualify for the supermax extension because if they do there’s no way Lakers have the assets to trade for them.
SedanoSucks
Mikal easy. He plays

It’s crazy to me that Bridges is older than BI. Feels like Ingram has been around forever
TrillMuryy
Mikal by far. Better defense, better energy, and better availability

For our team, BI. We have a ton of perimeter defense in Vando and Taurean. An iso scorer that can create his own bucket would fit more
​
Like Mikal more as a player though
Complex_Jellyfish647
BI looks like he bulked up a bit this off-season and he’s coming off his best season, I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes another step up toward the top tier of players. Bridges is an elite role player.

Mikal and it’s not close lol. My line up would be
bron point
reaves sg
mikal sf
rui pf

I’m running that death line up 💀. We’d have fucking vando and Dlo commanding a second unit absolutely destroying people at that point and can mix and match if we need taller or shorter line ups
KnickedUp
Defense is so important. Mikal all day. Plus BI just seems to enjoy sitting for any little thing.

That’s like asking would I rather date Scarlett Johanson or Taylor Swift.

BI just had an interview where he said he wants to stay on New Orleans long term so y’all can’ stop wondering lol

Love Bridges but bring me Long Boi

why not both

I guess some of y’all forgot BI was out for months with a stubbed toe, making his own team mad. Someone who can stay on the floor and legit be a 3&D would be great

I pick BI. He’s so damn good and I think he’s being treated as second fiddle to Zion in New Orleans. His contract is up in two seasons, maybe he wants to come back home
Dicey12
BI I feel like he can be a closer something we’ve lacked in our teams

Love BI but I’ll take mikal

Feel like BI has a higher ceiling but also a lower floor. Dude is only 25 and can still progress that offensive game but injuries could derail that.

BI is unstoppable at times—I’ll take him

With Lebron still on the team, then definitely Mikal. He would fit like a glove. If this is post-Lebron, then having BI as a ball handler/perimeter scorer with AD would be huge.
MOODALI
BI, just so we can take another Pelicans star 🤣
BlackJediSword
Mikal because he’s a better 3pt. shooter but BI because of nostalgia.
HaShBuD
Buckets got that silk. BI for sure.

I’d love to have BI

Mikal for sure. BI misses like 30 games a year now.

I’d have to say bridges he’s a great role player and he isn’t injury prone along with being a great two way player but you know it’s all myteam fantasies we aren’t gonna see either come to the lakers anytime soon I don’t think
mitch3311
BI not close, next question.
Go look at what BI did to him in the playoffs 2 seasons ago
LAFAN4LYFE
I’ll take BI for future. But bridges now if paired with LBJ and AD

BI is a top 15-20 player in the league in his prime but his availability is concerning. Give me BI still.

BI all day

If healthy, BI, he’s a matchup nightmare, like a poorer man’s version of KD

Its just that time dilation thing fellas. Where the older we get, the faster it feels cuz there’s less memorable stuff to remember about each day.
