It is hard to tell at the moment what the future looks like for the Brooklyn Nets. They are already out of playoff contention and with no chance of getting into the play-in tournament, even. That doesn’t mean they don’t have great talents on the roaster. Brooklyn still has Mikal Bridges
The Nets acquired Bridges from the Phoenix Suns via a circuitous four-team trade in 2023 that involved the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooklyn then inherited the financial commitment to Bridges, who was signed by the Suns to a four-year, $90.9 million rookie scale contract extension back in 2021.
Brooklyn got Bridges with the thought that he’d be the Nets’ franchise cornerstone. If that’s the case, it’s obviously not translating to on-court success, as the Atlantic division franchise only has 31 wins this season with three games left to play.
Will the Brooklyn Nets Shop Mikal Bridges in the Offseason?

Just like the Nets’ direction, it’s not easy to determine what exactly Brooklyn’s stance or plan is with Bridges, who was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round (10th overall) of the 2018 NBA Draft.
Rumors are starting to circulate that the Nets could trade the former Villanova Wildcats tar in the summer, while his contract is still relatively easy to sell to potential bidders, but Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, at least for now, thinks that Brooklyn would end up keeping Bridges, while also stressing that the team “should be considering all options after an awful year.”

So far in the 2023-24 NBA regular season, Bridges is averaging 20.2 points on just 43.8 percent shooting from the field and 37.3 percent from deep, while adding 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per outing.
