Yeah, I could see Presti making a solid offer for Bridges.
OKC has over 30mil+ in capspace if they let Biyombo and Hayward go. Besides, if they decide to trade a guy like Dort, they can easily take back 50mil in salary.
It’s incredible how next years cap hit currently is 102mil (granted they will sign some rookies on top of that).
The current average age is 23.3 years without Hayward and Biyombo. If they sign some rookies its gonna be between 23-24 years of age on average throughout the team, which is flat out bonkers considering they will already finish as the top3 seed in the west (good odds of finishing first even). Quite an “arrival”.
Presti might offer Giddey and some FRPs for Bridges and i'm not sure that will be enough. I know we have a lot of picks but we don't have many players with ton of trade value (except our stars)
I dont see Nets trading Bridges. He’s their best player. Obviously OKC wouldnt be trading valueable pieces if they wish to upgrade. Perhaps picks alone would suffice because salaries do not need to match.
But something will definitely be available with all that space. Hell, salary wise Presti could get back Durant for Dort (obviously not gonna trade for a 50mil 35year old, but the point stands).
