The Charlotte front office will explore all options with the former first round pick.
The Charlotte Hornets have a big decision to make on pending unrestricted free agent Miles Bridges. After missing an entire year, Bridges improved upon his career year in 2021-22 averaging 21 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game this past season., "Bridges could command upward of $30 million, sources said, the Hornets are also believed to be open to parting with Bridges by way of sign-and-trade, should a productive opportunity present itself.
$30 million, to me, sounds like a bit of a steep price and one that I'm not sure the Hornets are willing to pay. Committing that much is a big risk for someone who had serious off the court issues just two years ago. And remember, this front office and this coaching staff were not in place when the Hornets officially decided to bring him back on a one-year deal last offseason. They don't have the history or relationship to where they can feel extremely comfortable moving forward with a long-term deal. That doesn't mean the trust can't be fast tracked or that a deal to keep him in Charlotte is impossible.
