Brooklyn has officially shipped off its best player in Mikal Bridges for a slew of draft picks.
The Brooklyn Nets finally and officially offloaded their top player late Tuesday, trading wing Mikal Bridges to the crosstown rival New York Knicks in exchange for a swath of future draft picks.
His trading is a likely signal that Brooklyn will be moving away from its win-now mindset, which was widely speculated with the addition of head coach Jordi Fernandez. Brooklyn also made a deal with Houston to return the teams future firsts, a massive domino that could push towards a youth-movement. The team sent its future Suns' selections in return for their own picks.
The team will continue to have cap space necessary to sign players in the off-season, but will likely look to position itself to add young up-and-coming talent rather than win-now stars and rotational pieces.
