When Mitchell, Ja, Garland, etc. hit the block, then they pounce.
That isn't how it works. Brooklyn is not a hot FA destination. And no one is running to come and play with Bridges
Yet we are and they are.
We were literally on Dame’s short list when this all started, and once he realized last week that he probably wasn’t going to his preferred destination in Miami, we were on there again.
Players still want to be here.
This should not be dismissed. Yet again, a star had Brooklyn as their desired destination. Are we Miami? No. No team/city, other than possibly LA, rivals Miami in terms of attractiveness to players. We were 2a/2b with the team with last seasons' best regular season record and arguably one of the 2 best players in the league. Not Boston, not NYK, not Chicago, not LAL/LAC.
