    If KPJ can get a 2nd chance, we should take advantage of getting Miles Bridges, especially if they don't want him to leave for free!
    We can move Dillon Brooks contract, along with Jasean Tate, draft pick for Miles Bridges...we're in the era of the necessity of having a scoring 3-D Wing and he'll be a huge upgrade from Dillon Brooks!

    Yes…great post. Dillion Brooks is a nice guy but he is just a average basketball player. Miles Bridges can score 20 points a game, nice defender and can rebound. We need to upgrade this SMALL FORWARD POSITION. Dillion is a average shooter, non rebounder and average defender

    Lame response - give me a good reason, besides his recent run in with the law, why he wouldn't be a good upgrade from Dillon Brooks?

    I'd rather try Tari or Amen at the starting 3 if we get rid of Dillion.

    Bridges is redundant when we just drafted Whitmore.

    That’s like trading for LaVine or Beal when we already have Green

    Bridges was lucky enough to get probation from that run in with the law and ended up violating his probation within a year. Undisciplined, character issues and poor decision-maker. I think there are enough red flags there to look elsewhere.

    Wouldn’t mind it tbh. Bridges upgrading DB and clearing a roster spot adding Tate or sending DB, Tate, Landale and Jeff for Lavine. It would create more roster spots to sign similar guys to those or younger guys. Lavine’s contract can help us net a star while allowing Amen to get his minutes at the 3 and Reed to get to his spot at backup point

    Real talk, he was on his way to being in the 2nd tier star players, but ****ed it off... Charlotte basically gave Lamelo and him the keys to the franchise... As Jay said " It was all good just a week ago"... He'll be lucky to be a solid rotational player for years to come, not because of talent, but for the optics

    We can capitalize on acquiring him while his stock is low

    Bridges already came back though, so once hes already been back its not like you are really buying that low. I think when it comes to the NBA and being talented, people tend to have a short term memory. It's not like we can go get Ja for pennies on the dollar either. It takes a lot for people to ignore someone that talented.
