Good decision imo, Bridges is still young and has the potential to grow into a Tatum level player when he hits his prime. Besides, no point of trading him away if the Nets don’t even own their picks.

What does Mikal need to be most successful?

Fired JV and build with Mikal we are so back
theRestisConfettii
This team needs DeJounte Murray.
He is the type of starting PG this team lacks. What sucks is that the Lakers will be able to offer the 2029 and 2031 1st come July 1st. He’ll be a Laker.

Yeah no shit. What would the alternative be, tearing the roster apart when the Nets don’t own their own picks for multiple years? There’s no incentive to not at least try
TheMoorNextDoor
If Mikal doesn’t play up to par or Claxton leaves this will fail badly and then we will be embarrassing ourselves again as we could’ve traded Mikal and had a top 5 pick this draft…. It’s a bad draft outside of the first 5-7 picks…

This team is more than a star away from competing for a title. Continuing to build around this roster will just push our title hopes further and further down the road.

Build around? Lol tf. It’s clear he can’t be a focal point. He needs a star caliber player so he can play robin to them.

Nets need an all star caliber player like Don Mitchell or KAT. Maybe if they get unhappy during a poor playoff run they will ask out looking to start new
hushed-shush
I’d hope so. He’s our best player lol. Him and CT should be the only players they should feel attached to.

Convinced most people here weren’t around for 2016. Tearing down the roster despite having none of our picks is exactly what we did. We acquired picks and focused on developing young players. Imagine if we kept Thad Young, Brook Lopez, and Bojan

Woj is the only one to be trusted. In woj and marks we trust

Yeah that has always been the plan. Though really it is adding a super star looking to build a contender. Bridges is never going to be a true first option scorerer. He doesn’t have the handles or the passing ability to be the main creator.

The pain in these comments is hilarious. Like guys how many times do we have to reiterate- bridges is the foundation, they’re not trading him. They’re not rebuilding. Marks is going big game hunting sooner than later player and coach wise.
Why so many people are opposed to this I will never understand! This is a good strategy. On that note stop saying the Nets don’t have a strategy just cause you don’t like it lol
