When the smoke cleared after the 2023 NBA trade deadline, and the post-mortem reporting started to trickle out, it sounded like the Nets might've been nuts. You're telling me a team offered Brooklyn four first-round picks for Mikal Bridges — a Very Nice Young Player who'd been a Net for about as long as it takes to nuke a Hot Pocket after coming aboard in the Kevin Durant blockbuster — and that Sean Marks turned it down?
— the kind I'm not sure that many expected a 26-year-old in his fifth season to just suddenly reach.
Bridges doesn't have the total offensive package just yet; he's still got work to do reading defenses as a playmaker, slinging passes a beat ahead of rotations, tightening up his handle and trusting in his pull-up enough to bomb a few more threes rather than constantly looking for the midrange stop-and-pop. But it took Paul George four years to average 20 points per game. Khris Middleton didn't become an All-Star until his seventh season.
