    They'll still be decent even if they lose him. They have lots of 3 point shooters and role players.

    Didn’t realize that Cam was a free agent. I would still give 24, 25 swap, 27 swap,Tate, Danny Green (matching purposes), Justin Holiday (matching purposes) for Bridges.

    Depends on what you mean by decent. I think they'll be like in the raptors range.

    They won't be one of the worst few teams in the league. That's impossible to do without trying. But, I think they'll be in the lottery unless they trade all their picks to be a middling team for the next 5 or so years instead of drafting.

    They rejected 4 first round picks for Bridges. The price is 4 first round picks and one more asset or pick. I think that's inflated value, we could get someone better with 5 first round picks.

    Yes, we don't need a fatal Rudy Gobert like trade. Bridges isn't worth more than 2 FRP's ino.

    Danny Green is being bought out. He doesn't want to stay in Houston.

    His potential loss may still hurt them a bit.

    I figured the Nets would have the goal of inflating the numbers of all their players ahead of the offseason for future trades.

    But, if Bridges can score high volume like this they may not take any offers for him this summer.

    I dont think you watched Mikal in Phoenix if you didnt see him blossoming once he was able to have more offensive freedom.

    Folks, the Nets picks are Lucy with the Football and we're all Charlie Brown.

    That honestly might matter more than the Brooklyn pick next season. My money's on them shoring up their roster and being mediocre, and a mediocre pick in a crappy draft doesn't do much for us.

    I think he could be a Paul George lite, he is lankier than Kawhi who filled out and looks like a lean tank.

    He has the same build as Kelly Oubre jr. but is actually better.

    Brooklyn lost two of the best closers in today's game, no matter how good Mikal becomes, there is no replacing those.

    They don't get the whistle and they lose tons of close games.

    Wait till they get Jrue Holiday.

    The Brooklyn picks put the Kevin Martin in fools gold.

    If the 8th and 10th did in fact come to fruition. The Rockets would keep the pick if either popped into the top 4? Or, is the pick not protected top 4 this time?
