Mikal Bridges is with the New York Knicks, but he's thankful for his time with the Brooklyn Nets.
Normally, stars request to be traded because a team isn't good or they find themselves unhappy, but that couldn't be farther than the truth in Bridges' case. Bridges didn't request to be traded by the Nets, but when the Knicks offered him several future first-round picks that were unprotected, it was an offer Brooklyn couldn't say no to.
Bridges did grow tremendously in his two seasons with the Nets, and his numbers reflected that. After averaging 12.2 points per game in five seasons with the Phoenix Suns, Bridges saw that number grow to 21.2 with the Nets. However, the role he had with the Nets won't be the same as what's planned for him in the Knicks offense. The job of being the primary creator and scorer will go to star point guard Jalen Brunson. Bridges may not even be the secondary contributor, as that job goes to power forward Julius Randle when he returns to good health.
