Apparently, the Brooklyn Nets like NBA star Mikal Bridges a lot. Like…a lot. 

It’s been widely rumored that the Nets turned down an offer of four first-round picks for Bridges at this year’s deadline. That’s a substantial return.

If the Nets wouldn’t accept that offer for Bridges, it’s hard to imagine what they would accept. 

Now, they’re being linked to Damian Lillard. That makes sense. The Nets owe their draft capital to the Houston Rockets moving forward. This team should be in the business of improving quickly.

Only – how can they acquire Lillard without including Bridges? Well, it’s possible – but they’ll have to surrender a lot of draft capital. Like…a lot. 

Here’s the best deal we think they could offer without including Simmons.
