Miles Bridges – Charlotte Hornets
Through his first two seasons in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets, Miles Bridges has averaged 9.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and has shot 44.1% from the floor. At times, Bridges has showcased his athletic abilities and potential to be a great two-way player, but he does not always get the opportunities to prove himself in Charlotte.
After starting in 64 of the 65 games he played in last season, Bridges has taken a back-seat to All-Star wing Gordon Hayward and has come off-the-bench in all 21 of his games this year. As a result, Bridges minutes, points, rebounds and overall production is down.
The Hornets have big plans for Bridges as their sixth-man moving forward, but at the end of the day, they could get a lot of value for him now if they decided to trade him. The Kings are a young and athletic team and with a more experienced young talent in Miles Bridges, they could be a really strong transition team.
De’Aaron Fox is already one of the fastest guards in the entire league and with other athletes on their roster in Marvin Bagley III, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield, being a threat to knock down a long three-point shot in transition, Sacramento could thrive having an athlete like Miles Bridges on the wing.
With him still on his rookie contract and only owed $3.9M this season, acquiring Miles Bridges is extremely do-able for the Sacramento Kings and could be a player that helps them make an unexpected playoff push this season.
