The Nets never viewed Mikal Bridges as Superman, but as the perfect Robin to team up with a potential Batman like Antetokounmpo. And sources told The Post that Brooklyn’s hope had been to lure the Greek star back in 2023-24. But when Antetokounmpo opted to stay put in Milwaukee, Marks pivoted and traded Bridges to the Knicks that June for a record-setting haul of five first-round picks and a swap. They picked a lane, and that lane was headed toward a rebuild with no exit ramp.

Q&A
Warum haben die Nets Mikal Bridges zu den Knicks getradet?
Die Nets gaben Mikal Bridges ab, nachdem Giannis Antetokounmpo beschlossen hatte, in Milwaukee zu bleiben. Brooklyn hatte gehofft, um einen Star wie Antetokounmpo herum aufzubauen; als dieser Plan scheiterte, stellten sie auf einen Rebuild um und tauschten Bridges gegen viele Draft-Picks.
Wie sahen die Nets Mikal Bridges im Teamgefüge?
Die Nets sahen Mikal Bridges nicht als eigentlichen Franchise-Star. Für sie war er eher die perfekte Ergänzung, also ein „Robin“, der neben einem möglichen „Batman“ wie Antetokounmpo funktionieren sollte.
