Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Malik Beasley, F Rui Hachimura, 2029 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2030 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G/F Mikal Bridges
It is fair to say that Bridges was the most significant player the Nets acquired at the deadline.
How significant is Mikal Bridges? It’s a little hard to judge because it’s so subjective. As a matter of fact, he almost didn’t stay in Brooklyn for very long as he’s widely coveted throughout the league.
As soon as he was acquired by the Nets, rumors began to circulate about his future with the team.
As a result, it was reported that the Nets had declined four first-round picks for Bridges, which they were offered by a team.

Consider us to be dubious. At the same time, Bridges could be worth that cost. He’s one of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA, but he’ll need to continue flashing offensive star upside to command that sort of return.
Is this a reasonable haul for him to be moved for?
