Should the Rockets have dealt the young guard for Mikal Bridges?
The Brooklyn Nets finally hit the reset button -- which began by the team trading Mikal Bridges across the bridge to the New York Knicks. Evidently, they could have a young guard with All-Star potential had they begun their rebuild sooner., the Houston Rockets were willing to part with Jalen Green, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, to acquire Bridges and help build a win-now team.
The Nets received five first-round picks from the Knicks, so no harm no foul for them as their rebuild is well underway. For the Rockets, the willingness to part from the young star guard will position them to land a star forward when the right trade target becomes available. "Houston was also open to moving Green for Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, Miami Heat All-Star Jimmy Butler, and Paul George when he was on the Los Angeles Clippers," Amico continued.
