THIS just made it possible for the Sixers to bring Mikal Bridges back to Philly 👀

here here’s the last thing I wanted to talk about cuz this came out a couple of days ago where basically the Net’s ownership is finally saying listen we suck we need to accept the fact that we suck and we might go into a fullon rebuild which they did man I think it was over 10 years ago uh and then they traded everyone for oh this was way over 10 years ago man I’m getting old um they traded everyone for Kevin I said 10 years ago this [ __ ] was like 15 years ago maybe longer they traded everyone for Kevin Garnett Paul Pearson that imploded they ended up being the worst team in the NBA and the Boston Celtics had their first round pick like two years in a row which was just funny to watch the Boston Celtics be contenders and have the first pick in the draft they traded that to us for the Marquel folz Jason Tatum thing let’s not even go there and then the Nets rebuilt again and then they built another solid roster full full of roll players and they signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving out of free agency and they could have ran with that and had Jared Allen and and and Carris Levert and Spencer Den witty and a bunch of good roll guys to try to take those two stars and go in but they didn’t they traded everybody and seven count them four first and three pick swaps for James Harden who just gained 30 lbs the year before on purpose to get out of Houston and and they imploded their franchise again now they they’re watching not only Kyrie Irving probably go to the NBA finals which is amazing to watch so much fun love it I’m rooting for him please Kyrie versus Boston I I need I need Kyrie I need Kyrie Irving to take out the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals it would just be a beautiful story uh anyway the Nets now are going on a third rebuild and ownership said the franchise is out of Crossroads you don’t say josi uh Sai mentioned Brooklyn’s roster will be revamped this off season to compete in the long run rather than win immediately maybe he realizes that signing James hard or trading all the picks for a player like James Harden isn’t the right move I mean let’s be serious look at the guy has he ever dribbled a basketball in his life absolutely not he doesn’t know what he’s doing um not that the Sixers ownership does we’re one of we’re one of three or four ownership groups in the NBA that have no [ __ ] clue what they’re doing ever and always do the wrong thing but the Nets are in the same boat as us okay and the Knicks are there too and nicks fans haha you’re there too you’re one of us also okay so we can all we can all be in a a rehab meeting arguing over who’s the biggest drug addict we’re all in the meeting s s wants to take a long-term approach and build a sustainable winner wow it’s just taken these guys so many years to figure out that this is what you need to do teams are finally watching the the Denver Nuggets and and Etc and finally trying not to go all in for three Superstars except for Daryl mury but anyway with the Rockets reportedly willing to offer back their future picks in exchange for the Suns selections Brooklyn certainly appears ready to Pivot towards a fullscale rebuild if the Nets decide to go in this direction Mel Bridges and others could become available on the trade market now don’t forget the Brookland Nets turned down reportedly four first round picks and uh why can’t I think of names today man what’s his name in Houston the young dude that they almost traded who was really really good this year anyway the Nets turned down that for uh Mel Bridges reportedly and now I think they’re going to accept the fact that they need to trade him and he could be available for less than that I think they’re going to have to accept the fact that they’re not going to get that level of offer again he could be available for less than that uh and so I just went on the internet and I said you know what 76ers melbridge is mock trade I think I did one of these last week or two weeks ago but anyway look at this one man let’s say the 76ers do go let’s see the let’s say the Nets do go into a full rebuild and uh they offer up Mel Bridges here’s a mock trade from fanation at sportsillustrated.com the Sixers trade Ricky Council tur quavian Smith 2022 first round pick 16th overall and 2026 first round pick via OKC Houston or Clippers worst of the three it was a pick swap between somebody somewhere I forget don’t even know but either way uh and the Sixers receive Mel Bridges as much as I love Ricky Council we got to be realistic we got to talk about you know the things that or the fact that he got zero playoff minutes this season under Nick nurse the fact that darl mury said something stupid about you know even in your second year you might not play in play like we got to be realistic as much as we think Ricky council could be a good role player and have have a a you know potential moving forward he he would be if he’s if he’s what gets you Mel Bridges 100% trade him you know and I love Ricky Council but if Ricky council is what gets you Mel Bridges yes trade him you know and then he’ll go to another team and become inevitably an NBA superstar because why wouldn’t he but uh yeah I would say yes to this trade I actually don’t think this is enough I don’t think this trade gets you Mel Bridges I think there’s other teams that could offer the Nets way more than this what you would have to probably give up in this trade is the 2020 eight unprotected Clippers pick um and that is one that has like I say all the time crazy amount of value because the Clippers will be probably underneath of the basement by 2028 and they might be the number one pick in the draft and it could be a generational player who changes your franchise forever but if that’s a big if anyway it’s not like the Sixers draft well um so what I’m saying is I don’t think this would be enough I think you’d have to throw in uh I think you’d have to throw in uh DeAnthony Melton I think you’d have to throw in uh probably the 2028 unprotected first and I’d still say yes to it I think that’s the Sixers perfect off season just right now a month away from the draft in free agency I think the Sixers perfect off season to save everything and and have me and the rest of Philadelphia be on darl M’s good side and and be excited for the upcoming season he signs Paul George to a four-year Max contract the last two years are a team option I don’t think that would happen but that would be amazing so you could say Hey listen man if you’re if you’re washed we get to get rid of you and not pay you um and then they trade Ricky Council to quavian Smith and three first round picks including the 2028 unprotected for Mel Bridges and I know a lot of people on YouTube that hit me in the comments and in the chat anytime you say three first round picks for a player they say what it’s way too much anytime you say 200 million for a that’s way too much but you got to give things to get things man and that’s what Mel Bridges would take and you got you know you’re you guys are telling me this is too much and that’s too much and that’s too much are the same ones that are telling me trade for lry marke and you don’t even have enough to get a guy like that I don’t want to give up the 2028 pick because I think it could be huge for the for the franchise but if you have a chance of coming back next season with as weak as the Eastern Conference looked this season if you have a chance to come back next year with Jo lmb Tyrese Maxi Paul George and Mel Bridges you how could you say no to that
