CLIPPERS
In: Bridges
Out: Bogdanovic/Eubanks/K.Brown/2030 FRP(top 7 prot)

He gets a +/- 20 ppg wing that should fit perfectly into the starting lineup.

HORNETS
In:Bogdan/Eubanks/K.Brown/FRP 2030
Out: Bridges

Miles' contract expires, he gets a good player in Bogdan, whether they want to trade him again or trade him for additional value... he gets a future pick with light protections... when Leonard and Harden are probably even retired.

Putting up 21 on over 17 shots and averaging 43.8/32.5, to go with the off court drama. Don't see him "perfectly" fitting in as he'll demand shots, taking away from the (and it feels weird as all hell to say) offensive flow.

Value might be tilted towards the Clips, but feel they'd be better keeping the cap clean for the summer of 26 (expiring Kawhi, Bogdan/Kobe with team options, Cam non guaranteed [only $2.3 mil anyway] and Jones/Zu combine for just under 30).

Miles started the year very badly but has been fantastic since the turn of the year. He's also on a descending contract so no rush for us to trade him.

We need at least a few talented players on the team regardless of tanking.

i don't see our front office looking at this team and saying, "You know what we need? Less shot creation!"

then again Jeff Peterson is a certified idiot so nothing's truly off the table

Bogdan is really fitting the team, has good connections with Harden&Zu on and off the court. I think Clips will roll with Harden-Norm-Kawhi-DJJ-Zu line-up with Bogi 6th man to the 2026 summer. Batum-Coffey and Dunn is the depth. They will be on the market for a back-up center though.

Bogdan is a better shot creator than Bridges...
I doubt Clippers do this w/o the 1st even...

No, 3rd option on a good, short, decending contract for a bench scorer.
