[MacMahon] They [Memphis] threw 4 picks at the Nets trying to get Mikal Bridges. They really weren’t able to get the Raptors in serious conversations, but they would have given up a few picks to get OG Anunoby. They’ve tried to move on from Dillon Brooks already.

    Bridges might have been the difference between Memphis winning the West this season.

  2. Goosebuns

    If the Grizzlies had Bridges instead of Brooks…

    😳🤢

  3. 4 picks sound good until you realize they’re gonna be like 28th picks, if you’re the Nets you definitely want more than that.

    They were smart to decline the trade and build Mikal’s value up to the point they can get a much better return.

  4. GoldenBoyRecords

    Those picks from Mem would be late 20s

  5. klobucharzard

    it’s too bad the raptors play downtown and not in mississauga

  6. KronoriumExcerptC

    Ja, Bane, JJJ, and Bridges is really scary

  7. DynamixRo

    LeBron won’t talk about Brooks, but he might know someone who will.

    I was just talking with one of my friends about this (I live in Memphis and they are all Grizz fans). He thought we could flip Brooks for someone like Bridges or OG, and I was like “no way those teams would do that.” Glad it was confirmed lol

  9. JorisR94

    Mikal to Memphis, I couldn’t imagine such a likable guy on such an unlikable team

  10. JimmyWasRight

    Memphis with Bridges might’ve been a title contender.

  11. Shaq_Fu_Da_Return

    Seriously everyone hates this guy at this point. Very entertaining

    Seems like all along the Memphis Grizzlies were the bear that he was poking

  13. Est-Tech79

    They talked about that Nets move during the trade deadline. Surprised the Nets didn’t trade Finney-Smith, Bridges, Cam as they are all 3&D guys who can help a team ready to win a championship and the Nets are rebuilding again. Can’t believe they held on to Seth Curry either. Not sure what the Nets are doing.

    Btw, is Bane playing in the Laker series? It’s hard for those shooters who can’t get their own shot in the playoffs if they game plan to stay attached. Memphis needs to run some better actions for him to get loose.

    Mikal Bridges is like the polar opposite of Brooks’ personality-wise. I can see why they might want to bring on someone like that to balance out Morant’s, uh, non-basketball aspirations.

  15. StevenVsGoliath

    Thank the lord Memphis didn’t swap brooks for OG or Bridges

  16. I don’t think Memphis gives a shit about his attitude. He’s just a negative offensive player. And you can’t rely on his defense because he constantly gets ejected or suspended.

    Have you seen what his shot looks like!!! It’s one of the worst looking jumpers I’ve seen in a long time.

  17. drjisftw

    I really thought they should’ve tried to snag Jerami Grant when he was still in Detroit and this does nothing to change that opinion.

  18. PensiveinNJ

    Dillon Brooks’ trade value is a swiffer wet jet and the plane ticket out of town.

  19. Whit3boy316

    I will not tolerate my sweet angel Mikal playing with the murderer Ja 😂

  20. Brooks is a clown and should be working at a circus

  21. I actually enjoy Brooks’ antics, but, I’ll say reading this made me think about how if he were on any other team than the Grizz, or just a bad team like the rockets, you’d never ever hear anything about him ever.

  22. iNSOMNITY

    You call one MF “old” and your whole world comes tumbling down…

  23. SwayzeExpress87

    Lakers winning series: confirmed. It’s in the script.

  24. goofedonskunkweed

    Grizz + Bridges/Anunoby + Clarke + Adams – Brooks is a killer

  25. redundantPOINT

    Bridges looks like he could definitely be a #2 on a championship team.

  26. Musicfan637

    Nets are one great player away from being real nice. I’d hold on to all my young dudes.

  27. Past-Chest-6507

    Can’t blame ’em, Bridges over Brooks makes them the best team in the NBA when roster is fully healthy.

  28. theseustheminotaur

    I’m sure Suns didn’t want to send Bridges to a western conference contending team. The Grizzlies with Bridges are a scary team, Bridges is a huge upgrade over Brooks

  29. djmjrules

    “I don’t know if Dillon Brooks is on a team
    after this series”

    Listen, dudes a clown and not as good as he thinks but he will absolutely be on a team next year.

  30. Would the Grizzles be interested in Joe Harris instead? I shall accept half the picks… as a favor to the Grizzles!

  31. Champagnesoda

    Memphis would be title favorites if they got bridges and didn’t lose any of their real pieces. He solves all the problems I think that they have.
