Hornets looking like theyre picking scoot so possibly a smart move.
LiaM_CS
The nets are not trading him

Look, Bridges is a very good player but can we not treat him like he is prime Kawhi?

Scoot is awesome I’d love him. But I irrationally love Bridges so Let’s gooooo
MrMoistandDelicious
You do this trade if you get Scoot, Mikal is not worth miller
Expulsure
Perfectly fine with this as long as we dont trade for Dame
Low-Anteater-8449
Miller will not be as good as Mikal. That’s it. That’s the important part here.
Scoot might be but he is still a small guard.
Amen cannot shoot.
I don’t care if it’s Simons + 3. For bridges, I want all their assets
KingTolis
I mean I don’t know it’s a very difficult decision
blackmetronome
Marks is a fucking moron.
Bridges is not some star or someone you build around. We are going nowhere with Marks and Tsai running this clown car.
True-Match-6446
Fucking dumb. Bridges is a nice player, but Scoot/ Miller + Simons
Drizzt3919
I absolutely love bridges but I would even have to consider that deal…

The Lively interview on ESPN was great. This young man has the personality to succeed.

Makes sense since the Nets don’t own their picks otherwise this seems like a fair trade.
gleeson630
This is just a rumor. And we are really hesitant to trade Mikal bc we’re trying to foster a good culture ppl want to go to. It looks appealing if truly being offered but we’re getting a whole lot worse on defense here. I don’t feel like Scoot is as good as Mikal
Subredditcensorship
We’re gonna look really dumb when scoot/Miller are all stars and mikal leads us to 40 wins the next few years. I was never a downer but I gotta say this is one of the worst decisions I think marks will make by his own volition. He was basically forced to trade harden
BushidoBrowne
Unless we get someone like Wemby…I don’t want it.
We need a really GOOD player off the bat in exchange
Traw33
If they replace Simons with Shae we should take this deal (only for Scoot not Miller)
Acrobatic-Dog7044
If the number three pick is miller I wouldn’t do the deal I’m not high on him and I’m not high on Simons he isn’t a very efficient shooting guard plus he makes more than Mikal despite having worse stats and is an UFA in two years. Mikal might literally be the best contract in the league for what he brings to a team. Plus Blazers don’t even want to consider giving us Sharpe they want to have their cake and eat it too.

The only way you do this if you have absolute guarantees on:
Mikal for Scoot + Simons
Keep Claxton (fits our time-line)
Somehow someway get some of our Tickets picks back with any of our remaining players.
smokeybear135
If Miller goes 2 we should do this and take Scoot so fast. I would be so happy. Scoot scoot scoot scoot

this is insane

Why would they turn this down. We’ll never have access to top 3 talent in this rebuild again. Next year everyone is gonna find out Mikal is Jerami Grant and we’ll be fucked.

It’s so funny reading comments questioning Bridges upside after what he did in the NBA last season.
Meanwhile we’re supposed to believe you guys know someone is a can’t miss 100% superstar prospect because you watch sloppy college games that mean nothing in the NBA.
None of these prospects are guaranteed stars on purely the eye test aside from maybe Vic. Y’all are acting like multiple top five picks don’t flop every draft class.

Nets aren’t going to have enough pieces to pair with mikal to contend. Beyond stupid to not make this deal
TheMoorNextDoor
I wouldn’t mind doing this trade for Scoot because I believe Scoot will be better than Bridges in the long run. But with so much uncertainty with the 2nd/3rd pick I can’t take the risk unless it’s right there at the end of the 2nd pick draft clock and the Hornets say “We’re picking Miller”
Padulsky21
Nothing in this article proves that it was even offered. Scoot is also most likely going 2nd. Zach Lowe didn’t say this package was **even offered** just that the Nets wouldn’t do it. So I ask, what is the point of this article if it was never offered in the first place?
rudebwoy100
If yall do this deal you have to get all of their young guys and trade places. Trade them Claxton & DFS and ask for Sharpe & their #23 pick as well.
Rebuilding for your team makes no sense, so rob them of their future or no dice.
POP_OFF_THEN
I’d do it
shivm00
I think it may also stem from the fact that mikal has shown love for the organization and wants to be there, rather than KD/Kyrie/Harden who all bailed on the team
thefineart
Didn’t front office flat out tell Bridges they not trading him?
just_so_irrelevant
Mikal has already made a massive leap in performance with the Nets, yet Nets fans qurstion his ability to keep improving.
Meanwhile Scoot and Miller aren’t even in the NBA yet but you guys act like you can see the future and both are gonna be superstars.
Choosing Mikal over the 3rd pick is choosing proven performance and culture over guys whose futures are completely in the air. Now I have to read a bunch of comments from idiots who think they know the market better than Sean Marks.

Are they stupid? Why would they not accept this?
