The Pelicans are also known to have made a serious offer for Mikal Bridges and were likewise rebuffed. Two league sources said the Nets have claimed multiple offers of five first-rounders for Mikal Bridges, but I’m pretty skeptical on that front. One, it might be five “firsts” with swaps and/or heavily protected picks, and if the offer was really five firsts, why share that and then continue to say they are not interested in trading Mikal Bridges?

The fans here get Chick-Fil-A if an opponent misses two straight free-throws. They got really loud after Mikal Bridges just missed his first.
Bridges said “No-way” before attempting his second then hit it and told them to sit down.

Bridges recently weighed in on the debate on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast with Carmelo Anthony. “People always ask me about the load management if I miss a game,” said Bridges. “I’m like listen, I’m on both sides of the load management. Somebody comes off injuries, and like I get the fans being upset they might’ve did this and that but I’m like at the end of the day we care about y’all but we have to look out what’s best for us, you know what I’m saying. I think sometimes fans don’t realize that, because they think we’re being selfish but they’re also being selfish because they talk about all the things they did to get to the game for us. So it’s like you’re really complaining because you’re here and you did all this, but you’re mad at us because we’re making a decision on our bodies. So it’s kind of contradicting yourselves..” -via Clutch Points / February 1, 2024
“I just try to control what I can control,” Mikal Bridges said when asked if he envisions what the team will look like after the deadline, “and try to win as many games and play hard.” -via New York Post / January 31, 2024
