Any chance of Pacers getting Bridges from Nets?

Probably not. He’s the centerpiece to this deal for them, and he’d cost a lot.

But one of the other forwards they’ve accumulated, maybe? Royce O’Neale, Joe Harris, Jae Crowder, a Yuta Watanabe, DFS, Cam Johnson, or Simmons are more likely available.

The Suns are going to regret sending out those 4 first round picks.

Yes and no. With Durant and Paul at their “elevated age”, those picks are definitely going to come after they e been long gone. But they’ve also got Booker and Ayton signed for 3+ more years (Booker is signed for 5 more!). Either way, they’re going to have as good a chance at a championship as anyone over the next 2-3 years.

I suspect if they win at least one championship, they might not care?
