Michael Scotto: There appears to be this false narrative on the market that the Brooklyn Nets are constructing round Mikal Bridges because the No. 1 possibility. Whereas Bridges is actually part of the core, and I’d embrace Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton – who, once more, the Nets wish to re-sign in unrestricted free company – the final word plan is so as to add one other star or two round Bridges through commerce or free company whereas Bridges is on a team-friendly contract for the subsequent two seasons. Bridges stated publicly at observe that he desires to stay a Web and wasn’t raised to wish to go away when issues get powerful. I feel it’s fairly clear they’re preserving Bridges based mostly on our reporting from the Rockets commerce talks.Supply: HoopsHype
