Mikal Bridges to Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers Receive: G/F Mikal Bridges, C Nic Claxton 

Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Jusuf Nurkic, G/F Shaedon Sharpe, 2023 First-Round Pick (No. 3 – POR) 

Of all the possibilities lying ahead of the draft, the Portland Trail Blazers may present the most interesting ones. 

They’ve basically announced that they’re trading the third overall pick. This will be one of the hottest commodities on the trade market. Could the Brooklyn Nets go for it? 

On the one hand, this team appears destined for mediocrity. They don’t have a franchise player. Here, they could put themselves in a position to land one. 

On the other hand, the Nets owe their draft capital to the Houston Rockets through to 2027.

If this team tanked, they’d be doing it on Houston’s behalf. The Nets may not love that situation. 

As a matter of fact, that gives us an idea.
