[MacMahon] They [Memphis] threw 4 picks at the Nets trying to get Mikal Bridges. They really weren’t able to get the Raptors in serious conversations, but they would have given up a few picks to get OG Anunoby. They’ve tried to move on from Dillon Brooks already.

1. Bridges might have been the difference between Memphis winning the West this season.

2. OG to the Grizzlies/Nets makes sense.

3. “*the dynasty starts after you*”

4. If the Grizzlies had Bridges instead of Brooks…

   😳🤢

5. 4 picks sound good until you realize they’re gonna be like 28th picks, if you’re the Nets you definitely want more than that.

   They were smart to decline the trade and build Mikal’s value up to the point they can get a much better return.

6. Those picks from Mem would be late 20s

7. it’s too bad the raptors play downtown and not in mississauga

8. Ja, Bane, JJJ, and Bridges is really scary

9. LeBron won’t talk about Brooks, but he might know someone who will.

10. I was just talking with one of my friends about this (I live in Memphis and they are all Grizz fans). He thought we could flip Brooks for someone like Bridges or OG, and I was like “no way those teams would do that.” Glad it was confirmed lol

11. Mikal to Memphis, I couldn’t imagine such a likable guy on such an unlikable team

12. Memphis with Bridges might’ve been a title contender.

13. Seriously everyone hates this guy at this point. Very entertaining

14. Seems like all along the Memphis Grizzlies were the bear that he was poking

15. They talked about that Nets move during the trade deadline. Surprised the Nets didn’t trade Finney-Smith, Bridges, Cam as they are all 3&D guys who can help a team ready to win a championship and the Nets are rebuilding again. Can’t believe they held on to Seth Curry either. Not sure what the Nets are doing.

    Btw, is Bane playing in the Laker series? It’s hard for those shooters who can’t get their own shot in the playoffs if they game plan to stay attached. Memphis needs to run some better actions for him to get loose.

16. Doubt

17. That’s a horrible trade for Brooklyn.

18. Mikal Bridges is like the polar opposite of Brooks’ personality-wise. I can see why they might want to bring on someone like that to balance out Morant’s, uh, non-basketball aspirations.

19. Thank the lord Memphis didn’t swap brooks for OG or Bridges

20. I don’t think Memphis gives a shit about his attitude. He’s just a negative offensive player. And you can’t rely on his defense because he constantly gets ejected or suspended.

    Have you seen what his shot looks like!!! It’s one of the worst looking jumpers I’ve seen in a long time.

21. Dillon Brooks’ trade value is a swiffer wet jet and the plane ticket out of town.

22. I will not tolerate my sweet angel Mikal playing with the murderer Ja 😂

23. Naaah Memphis made this bed, let them lay on it

24. Brooks is a clown and should be working at a circus

25. You call one MF “old” and your whole world comes tumbling down…

26. Lakers winning series: confirmed. It’s in the script.

27. Bridges looks like he could definitely be a #2 on a championship team.

28. Nets are one great player away from being real nice. I’d hold on to all my young dudes.

29. WHOOP THAT TRICK

30. “I don’t know if Dillon Brooks is on a team
    after this series”

    Listen, dudes a clown and not as good as he thinks but he will absolutely be on a team next year.
