There is speculation that the Brooklyn Nets are preparing to offload some assets, embracing a full rebuilding process after the failed experiment with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. One player who will garner interest on the trade market is Mikal Bridges. Bridges, a one-time All-Star, is known for his durability and versatile defensive skills as a wing player. Here are three ideal destinations for the former Phoenix Sun.
Potential Trade Destinations for Brooklyn Nets Star, Mikal Bridges
Sacramento Kings
The Kings would be a terrific fit for Mikal Bridges. He could focus on defense while De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis lead the offense. Sacramento has struggled defensively, and Bridges could instantly improve that aspect. His three-point shooting ability would also benefit the team’s offense.
Philadelphia 76ers
Bridges would form a solid trio with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, improving the team’s defense. While the dream may be players like Paul George or Jimmy Butler, the 76ers should consider trading for Bridges, especially since he is a Pennsylvania native.
Houston Rockets
If the Rockets want to add talent to help them win now, Mikal Bridges would be a good fit. With promising talent like Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun, Bridges’ defensive skills and length would make a strong impact. Teaming up with Dillon Brooks would create a defensive nightmare for opponents.
