Could the Nets simply overwhelm opponents with shooting and versatile defense? Perhaps. At the same time, that might not be their only recourse following this move.
We know that Bridges has some shot-creating abilities. On the other hand, we didn’t know that prior to his departure from the Phoenix Suns.
