There’s no denying Mikal Bridges’ time with the Brooklyn Nets hasn’t lived up to expectations. The Atlanta Hawks can swoop in and trade for him in the offseason in a dream scenario that’s bound to benefit both parties.
After a standout stint playing for Villanova, Bridges was selected with the 10th pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2018 NBA Draft and traded to the Phoenix Suns shortly after.
Even though it was only his first year in the league, the 6’6″ wing proved to be capable on the defensive end of the court.

Even though it was only his first year in the league, the 6’6″ wing proved to be capable on the defensive end of the court.
By 2023, Bridges was part of a four-team blockbuster deal that sent All-Star forward Kevin Durant to Phoenix and Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and other asss to the Brooklyn Nets. Over the course of 27 games he played for his new team, the promising forward averaged 26.1 points on 37 percent shooting from deep, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists.
