While speaking on ESPN’s Mock Draft Special, NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski said the Brooklyn Nets have no plans to trade Mikal Bridges. Instead, the Nets plan to make Bridges the centerpiece of their team.
“Mikal Bridges is a player that they’re going to build around,” Wojnarowski said. “The kind of offers the Nets have gotten for him speaks to how valuable he is, a player I think for Brooklyn, they keep in place when the next big star is available in a trade.”
The Nets acquired Bridges as part of the trade that sent Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns at the trade deadline. In 27 games with Brooklyn, Bridges averaged 26.1 points on 48% shooting from the field.
