Mikal Bridges on being traded to the Nets: “I get it. I’d rather say I’m happy to be traded for KD than probably somebody that wasn’t good.”
“It’s KD,’’ Bridges said of his thoughts on the trade before theon Saturday night at the Barclays Center. “I get it. I’d rather say I’m happy to be traded for KD than probably somebody that wasn’t good. I’m just being realistic. … I get it. You’re getting Kevin Durant. Maybe I’d make that trade, too.”
“It’s the beginning chapter of a new era, really,’’ head coach Jacque Vaughn said. “This group gets to tell their own story, really. That’s what we’re gonna allow them to do.” Mikal Bridges, who scored a team-high 23 points, drives to the basket during the Nets’ 101-98 loss to the 76ers.“We’ll come together, figure things out and find a way to get this thing done,’’ Vaughn said. “The expectations remain the same. … I don’t know what the last chapter at the end looks like. But I know along the way, our story is gonna be a team that’s gonna be defined as playing extremely hard and is competitive every night.
Even though the move sending Durant to the Suns just happened, both Bridges and Johnson had prepared for the possibility of it as far back as June.
