The Brooklyn Nets Are Making a Horrific Mistake…

The Brooklyn Nets Are Making a Horrific Mistake…

Male is what I think he has two and a half years left on that contract several players who theoretically would be coveted by contending teams but they also do not have full control of their picks would move Mel Bridges I would move oh really everything I can the

Before they move the lines and you lose your advantage and thank you prize pick for the sponsor mik check 1212 what’s going on everybody last year the Houston Rockets were in a significantly different scenario as they are currently if you remember during this time last year we were making content on how the

Houston Rockets had a significant amount of cap space a very young core that features Jabari Smith Kevin Porter Jr and Jaylen green and a chance to get Victor web inyama with the number one overall pick there were several rumors about them potentially luring James Harden back to Houston because who

Wouldn’t want to play with this very young core and one year later things have changed mightily they didn’t get Victor web inyama they brought in Dylan Brooks on a pretty good contract in addition to Fred Van B and they hired eme udoka a controversial but very good

Hire that without a doubt changed the way Houston Rockets basketball is being played if you don’t believe me currently at the time that we’re making this video the Houston Rockets have already matched their win total from last year which is insane to think about last year they

Were the second to worst team in the NBA in defensive rating they were the fourth worst team in offensive rating and they were the third worst team in net rating and this year they’re the sixth best team in defensive rating they’re 13th in net rating but their offensive rating

Ranks in the bottom 10 in the NBA now I want to make something abundantly clear this is still a very young team that is progressing in and getting better game after game after game and you can see that primarily from Jaylen green now I know what you guys are going to say if

You take a look at jayen green statistics he may have taken a huge step back he’s averaging 18 points per game this season shooting 32% from three a lot of people like to think of him as JR Smith 2.0 a volume streaky scorer that honestly plays mem worthy basketball at

Times but if you take a look at Jaylen green statistics over the past five games this man’s been averaging 27 points 7.2 rebounds four assists on 40 7.4% shooting over the last five games but again he’s a very streaky scorer the seven games before that he was averaging

15.6 points per game but at the same time this is still a basketball player that is 9 days away from turning 22 years old and still has a long ways to go in his own development with that being said the Houston Rockets have turned around their roster quite nicely

The aformentioned additions of Dylan Brooks and Fred Van ven free agency not to be overshadowed by the veteran presence of Jeff Green as well and that’s before before we mention what they did in the NBA Draft by bringing in amen Thompson and cam Whitmore this team has an identity but they feel like

They’re not necessarily there yet they feel like they’re a piece away and this brings us to today’s article how the Houston Rockets rebuild is accelerating ahead of schedule with Houston Star hunting at the trade deadline and you guys already know on this channel we’re a huge fan of these types of videos a

Lot of it is eerily reminiscent to what the Houston Rockets were saying about James Harden last year now I know immediately what you guys might be thinking Mike if they’re rebuilding with a young core why would they want to Star so quickly well according to Sham Str

And Sam amck of the athletic 6 weeks ago Houston was 13 to9 and firmly settled in the west playoff picture having won five straight games and thriving as the NBA’s second best defensive unit since then the Rockets have been hit with injuries at various points to the likes of Dylan

Brooks Jabari Smith Jr and tar een and the franchise has dropped 12 of its last 19 games during that time Houston’s defensive efficiency has dropped to around League average while its offensive efficiency has plummeted to the bottom 10 well it’s really unfair to say this because a huge reason why this

Has been going down is because the Houston Rockets have been dealing with a lot of injuries as of late now the article mentions the conflict that the Houston Rockets are having historically the front office has believed every move or series of moves should be through the lens of winning a championship and if

This new look team showed signs of legitimate Improvement toward that goal even if it meant narrowly missing the Playoffs altogether that growth would be well but udoka dating back to training camp last September made it clear that he was ripping out the old floorboards from their foundation and wouldn’t be

Content with settling for what he perceived as mediocrity oka’s appetite for winning is strong hailing from the school of Greg papovich in San Antonio and carrying that approach in Philadelphia Brooklyn and Boston at one point udoka was two wins away from winning an NBA title his Ambitions weren’t suddenly going to change just

Because his working location did this article brings back the James Harden rumors of last summer bringing up how they brought in Dylan Brooks because of his two-way energy who became an early poster child of sorts when he signed a 4-year $80 million deal with the rockets

In mid July and the decision to say no to James Harden whose Long rumored reunion with the Rockets didn’t happen last summer because udoka preferred the fit with Van vet which was another strong sign that oka’s voice mattered a great deal from the start and also I

Guess Jaylen green had something to do with it as well there’s obviously been some links of James wanting to come back to the team like I feel like at this point you’re the king of Houston you got go through this you got go through being team being triple team you

Know being theet every time you got to go through that and you bring on someone like James who’s such a a ball dominant player like that’s going to hinder your growth a little bit you know what I mean regardless of how it can Elevate you on another level of him teaching you and

You learning off of him I feel like for you you’ve already been through the fire so like let you continue to learn you know what I mean no I agree I think play both ways like you just said it can help in at the same time I a really talk to

To him too much about the rumors and stuff like that I’m with you or now here’s where the meat and potatoes of this article comes in and it also draws a parallel to our Ben Simmons video If you guys remember I mentioned in our last video on Ben Simmons how Ben

Simmons’s contract essentially is holding the Brooklyn Nets hostage because the Brooklyn Nets can’t tank because they don’t hold their picks anymore the Houston Rockets do and at the same exact time they can’t compete because well their roster isn’t good enough to compete in the East don’t get

Me wrong they have great players in Mel Bridges cam Johnson Dorian finy Smith but aside from Mel Bridges most of these are very high-end role players with Cam Johnson really being On The Fringe of that the only star that the Nets really have is Mel Bridges cam Thomas periodically will have incredible games

Where he goes off but Ben Simmons’s contract is literally holding this team hostage and we have a whole Deep dive on it right here if you want to check it out after this video so why am I bringing up the Brooklyn ETS in this instance well jams mentions how Houston

Has been pursuing upgrades to The rosters searching for another Allstar caliber type who fits the two-way mold that udoka is looking for and the organization has the available resources to do so the Rockets have four first round picks eligible to be traded two via Brooklyn in 2024 and 2026 and their

Own in 2028 and 2030 he mentioned some of the names that were brought up here like Atlanta’s dejonte Murray Chicago’s Zack LaVine but I don’t think either of those are going to help the Houston Rockets get to the next level and Zack lavine’s contract is a huge nightmare so

It mentions how the Rockets have joined the long line of teams showing extremely high interest in Nets forward Mel Bridges Houston made an offer including multiple first round draft picks for bridges in recent weeks but the Nets have zero interest in any deal involving Bridges who is part of Brooklyn’s Corps

Moving forward and I’ll be honest I’m extremely surprised that they said no to this I guess I’d have to see what the trade entails but it’s important to note that Mel brides’s contract ends at the 2026 season which means you could get Peak value for him right here and this

Trade makes Incredible sense for both sides Mela Bridges will be a star on a team that actually has a chance at competing alongside alaran shenon Dylan Brooks Fred Van vet alond Thompson Jaylen green although I feel like you would potentially trade Jaylen green and the trade package would be based around

Jaylen Green from Mel Bridges and I know what you might be thinking Mike that’s not worth it for Mel Bridges at all but if you get back the first round picks that were given up to get James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets back in 2021 you

Get draft control back it gives you the opportunity to tank if you need to tank it gives you a player that you could build around that actually fits the timeline of your contention in Jaylen green over Mel Bridges so I’m very shocked that the Brooklyn Nets aren’t entertaining trading Mel Bridges right

Now and here’s the crazy part you know this is true when it’s not only coming from Shams according to Mike aotto the Houston Rockets are interested in Mel Bridges and are open to trading a combination of the draft picks acquired in the James Harden deal back to Brooklyn to facilitate a trade recently

The Houston Rockets were among the teams to register trade interest in bridges League sources told Hoops hype Houston was prepared to send back several of Brooklyn’s unused remaining draft picks from the James Harden trade but talks never got to that stage because the Nets declined to entertain anything for

Bridges when Houston inquired I just hope that the Brooklyn NS don’t fall into the same exact trap that the Toronto Raptors did by hanging on to probably the best available trade chip of the trade deadline for way too long because currently from where I stand I I

Don’t see a way for the Brooklyn Nets to build a contender around Mel Bridges so if you have a great opportunity to leverage Mel Bridges into four first round picks which I don’t think that’s going to be offered but if they do offer four first round picks for Mel Bridges

You should take it especially if it’s first round picks in 2028 and 2030 from the Houston Rockets and especially if it’s your own first round picks they will instantly become sellers at the deadline what I’m envisioning a trade for Mel bridge is looking like would be incredibly one-sided to even start so I

Can imagine if a lot of Houston Rockets fans wouldn’t like this trade it’d be something like jayen green Victor Oladipo and four first round picks for Mel Bridges now I know on paper this looks like a terrible trade but again the Brooklyn Nets would get a guy that

Is significantly younger that they could build up his value once again the same way that they built up Mel bridges’ value once he got traded from Phoenix to the Brooklyn Nets and they could get draft controlled back so they could have a legitimate rebuild this would expedite

Their rebuild by like 5 years instead of them trying to compete to become a potential playing team so I know the trade that the Houston Rockets have in place for Mel Bridges is insane but if you really think about it it makes a lot of sense for both sides and if you’re a

Brooklyn Nets fan and you disagree with me please tell me why wouldn’t you trade Mel Bridges right now because at the end of the day you don’t have assets to trade for another startup pair with Mel Bridges and you’re not good enough to compete the way you are right now he’s

Also currently 27 years old so this is his prime but I’ve been wrong before let me know in the comment section down below what you guys think about all this man should the Brooklyn Nets trade Mel Bridges to the Houston Rockets if you want me to go more in depth on how the

Brooklyn Nets don’t really have a choice here I highly recommend you watch our Ben Simmons video I’ll leave it in the end screen and aside from that I’m your boy Mike I’m dropping our mic until our next Upload
