THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS ARE TRYING TO TRADE MILES BRIDGES…

Hey guys what is up it is the fast break report here bringing you guys another Vlog and I want to talk about miles Bridges uh because it would appear as if the Charlotte Hornets are shopping them uh I’ve been seeing multiple reports come out that the Phoenix Suns are

Confident that they can do a trade for Miles Bridges the Utah Jazz are interested in him and Charlotte still hasn’t extended him and I honestly I feel like this is a huge mistake I I’m just going to call it what it is like I if if if the Charlotte Hornets GM trades miles

Bridges and Gordon Hayward to the Phoenix Suns for Bradley Beal if he loses his job I think he absolutely deserves to lose his job you know it’s things like this when I hear reports like this that I I feel like there are legitimately YouTubers that could run a

Front office better than some of the people that are in the front office you know in places like Atlanta and in Charlotte okay because the fact of the matter is I understand that what miles Bridges did a year and a half ago now I think is bad

He sat out all last season because of it and I understand if you’re you’re Charlotte that’s maybe frustrating maybe you don’t want a player like that on your roster which is understandable to an extent but the fact of the matter is trading miles Bridges and Gordon Hayward

For for Bradley Beal is it doesn’t seem like it’s the move okay I just I think it would be pure stupid and the reason I say that is because Phoenix is looking to get rid of Bradley Beal because a his contract sucks and it provides a little bit of Merit to what

Kevin Durant said about being frustrated in in Phoenix okay like usually team insiders like like sources close to the team usually don’t lie about things like that okay unless they’re specifically trying to get a player out of town because it’s Kevin Durant I I when I heard that he’s frustrated I was like

Like I instantly believed it because I’m like okay they’re not playing good basketball they’re not good defensively they they they play kind of whoever offense right Bradley Beal has been injured so you know it would make sense almost that the Phoenix Suns would try to come off of Bradley Beal’s contract

In order to get some salary cap relief so they could put something around Devin Booker Kevin Durant and mil Bridges if they were to trade for him because Gordon Hayward is on an expiring deal I doubt Phoenix would bring him back they get off of Bradley Beal’s contract but the thing is

Like this trade for the Charlotte Hornets simply doesn’t make any sense and the reason I say it doesn’t make any sense because Bradley Beal is getting paid significantly more money than he’s worth okay granted when Bradley Beal plays he’s a great player okay but you have a guy in Miles Bridges who through

The month of January is playing his ass off like I’m just going to call it what it is like I don’t give a what people think about what he’s done off the court on the court he’s a damn good basketball player the dude plays defense he rebounds through the month of January

I think he’s shooting 48% from the field and 42% from three and he’s averaging 20 plus a game like this is a guy that if I’m the Charlotte Hornets I’m retaining him it it’s not often that the Charlotte Hornets hit on draft picks and they hit

On lamelo ball they hit on Mark Williams they hit on Miles Bridges they hit on Brandon Miller you have you finally have a young core and now instead of developing that young core and putting some other pieces around it as it grows you want to get rid of Miles Bridges get

Rid of Gordon Hayward to bring in a guy who’s going to put you in salary cap space hell for the next four years three or four years like it just doesn’t make any sense to me I understand that what miles Bridges did is wrong but do do are

Are we in the NBA to make basketball moves or are we in the NBA to make the morally correct moves you know that’s the problem with that I have with this whole thing right if you are an NBA GM your focus should be on winning basketball games putting a winning team

On the floor for the head coach not worry about what the they’re doing like the only there there’s only a handful of times that I think are you know actually not even that there’s a difference between like miles Bridges and Kevin Porter Jr you know what I’m saying like it’s one thing

If this was a repeat occurrence and it’s happening all the time then I could understand trading miles Bridges you know what I’m saying at that point I could but it happened once Okay Kevin Porter Jr has done way worse than than than what miles Bridges has off the

Court okay but somehow Kevin Porter Jr was a guy who even when he was in Cleveland okay was a guy that was rumored to have offc court issues and he just kept going to teams and you know finally it got so bad that Houston was like we’re just getting rid of you okay

But being that Miles this is the only thing that we’ve heard of Miles Bridges off the court I I I just think to myself like there’s you know Kobe Bryant had a domestic violence thing too when he when he was in the early 2000s or whatever right and not that people forgave him

But people got over it okay like it’s it just to me it seems silly right to basically hold a grudge and you know cost yourself about 30 million dollars a year more than you should just because you want to take the moral High Ground you know what I’m

Saying like you could bring back miles bridges on a 4year $120 million extension and it would I I guarantee you he would take it based on the qualifying offer you gave him and you know you would have at least two pieces to go forward in l ball and mil Bridges but

The problem is if you trade for Bradley Beal I understand you want to get something for Gordon Hayward but you know it I guess the question for the Charlotte Hornets would be is what miles Bridges did really worth putting yourself in salary cap space hell for

The next four years like is it that bad you know what I’m saying like is it is it really that bad because I get that he didn’t play for you all all season last year but you got Brandon Miller out of it you know so it’s just the idea I I

Don’t condone what miles Bridges has done but I I just think to myself like I’ve seen NFL players you know get second chances for doing that was way worse you know and I I just think to myself like this is I understand this is frowned upon and

And you know I I I like and even honestly if miles Bridges wasn’t playing so well I could understand it even more you know you know like but the thing is the dude through the month of January has been balling his ass off and he’s been the one guy keeping your team

Afloat while lamelo ball has been out with injury you know that’s another reason that I’m like why why would you trade for Bradley Beal when lamelo ball is you know injured all the time why would you trade you know one of your young pieces that is winning games for

You or helping you win games I mean granted charlot’s not winning a whole hell of a lot of games but the one guy who’s at least keeping your team somewhat compe itive why would you trade him for an older guy who’s getting paid significantly more money and is going to

Hurt your ability to put pieces around a a Duo of lamelo ball and Bradley Beal you know what I’m saying like why CU all that’s going to do is hurt you in retaining either Mark Williams or Brandon Miller in the future that’s all that’s going to do and you already

Because you already owe lamelo ball 200 million right now you want to take on Bradley Beal who I think is close to 200 million as well like I just don’t understand the logic behind this move or why Charlotte is moving him because if I were the Charlotte Hornets front office

Okay like what what miles bridges does off the court is what he does off the court okay unless he murders somebody or you know something else comes out that’s significantly worse okay like I I I would I would argue would make sense for Charlotte to resign Miles briges because you could use that

As an excuse to extend him for less money like that’s why I don’t understand all of this you have his bird rights okay you can say hey this is what we think you’re worth and no offense but you know the you know you didn’t play for us last year the domestic violence

Thing is is something we’re not exactly happy with but we do want to try to keep you around you know you like maybe you get them for I don’t know 4 years 80 million or four years 90 million maybe you don’t even have to pay him 100

Million you know like it it just seems to me like the Charlotte Hornets have leverage and instead of using that leverage they’re going to give that leverage away to get an older player who doesn’t fit their timeline who is getting paid way too much money so you

Know it just to me it doesn’t make any sense I think the Charlotte Hornets have a very nice young core uh you know I like Brandon Miller I like Mark Williams I like lamelo ball I like miles Bridges as a basketball player I think is very

Good and has the ability to be a really really good Wing in the NBA in the future um I I think it’ll be a multiple time Allstar to be honest with you I just don’t see why you would get rid of that for a guy who doesn’t even fit your

Timeline you know like that’s that’s the other part of it you know I I get it I get they want to get rid of Gordon Hayward and they they would really like to get off his uh his contract with something but you know you got to understand also you’re providing a

Ton of flexibility to the Phoenix Suns who could bring in Miles Bridges and pay him like a deal around what they paid Mel Bridges and get off of Gordon hayward’s contract and suddenly they have a whole lot more cap space to to bring guys in to put around KD

Devin Booker and ysf nurkic so I just think it’s a mistake I I that’s that’s my big thing with this it’s like I understand what miles Bridges did off the court was bad but if you’re the Charlotte Hornets not extending miles Bridges seems like a really really

Stupid move and you know it it still irritates me that the Charlotte Hornets have not gotten rid of Michael Jordan’s regime uh because I feel like a lot of the GM or front office moves that have been made by the Charlotte Hornets have been bad okay like the the only

Thing that they’ve done correctly is draft players that’s the only thing that they’ve done correctly in the past couple years is they they’ve finally started hitting on draft picks but the Gordon Hayward contract extension the Terry Rosier contract extension like those were contract extensions that probably should not have been done you

Know and who knows maybe you could have gotten you know in those years that you were paying Gordon Hayward and Terry Rosier maybe you could have gotten something more promising you know it just I I just I don’t like the way that they operate and this to me honestly

This H move to me the idea that they’re even looking to shop miles bries says to me that they’re worried about taking the moral High Ground way more than they are about winning basketball games and if I’m the GM of any basketball team my job comes first before my feelings you know

Every job has has the saying you know leave your feelings at the door leave your issues at the door well that’s what you need to do if you’re an NBA GM in this specific instance okay the Lakers did it with Kobe Bryant okay the Lakers were like listen we know the domestic

Abuse thing is a big deal but he’s he’s he’s too good to let him go and I feel like that’s what that’s the mentality Charlotte should have towards miles Bridges because regardless of what you think of him off the court on the court he’s pretty good you know like even as a

Pacers fan I’m like if they’re ditching miles bridges yeah I want them like give them to me we need a good Wing anyway you know like there’s a lot of teams in the MBA that are doing that and I just feel like moving miles Bridges would just be pure stupidity okay especially

If you’re going to get a guy like Zack LaVine or Bradley Beal out of it like I actually think that’s a fireable offense because miles Bridges is a guy that you can pay less than Zack LaVine and Bradley Beal and still get like that level worth of production or close to it

Out of him um miles Bridges is a better Defender than Bradley Beal and Zack LaVine both are so I don’t know man you know at the end of the day it is what it is the Hornets are going to do what they want to do but I I feel like trading him

To Phoenix or to uh you know any other team the Utah Jazz that are apparently interested in him like I just feel like trading him would be a huge mistake because if you trade him for a guy like that you’re you’re you’re in salary cap space hell and I feel like

That could also hurt your ability to retain lamelo ball in the future lamelo ball is a guy you have to keep on your team because when he plays he’s capable of like a 30 point triple double almost and I feel like if you’re the Hornets and you make this move you deserve whatever

Failure you get you know because I I just think it doesn’t move the needle for them and you’re taking on significantly more salary than you need to just to say hey guys he we traded him he’s no longer on our roster so I don’t know man tell me what you guys think
