As for Hornets that might be on the move, veteran forward Miles Bridges is drawing significant interest, league sources told The Athletic. The Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are all known to be among the interested parties, though it remains to be seen if any team can compel the Hornets to give Bridges up. Charlotte’s lack of interest in the Bucks’ Kyle Kuzma is known to be an obstacle to a potential deal between those two teams. Draft capital is also a pivotal part of the conversation.

“They want a first (round pick),” one league source said. “Maybe two.”

  4. Prob the smart move. If you can’t get a 1st for him might as well hang onto him. He’ll prob be easier to trade when he’s an expiring anyway. I just don’t see a great reason to trade lamelos good friend unless we get a good deal

  6. Nice to hear we aren’t going to ship him off for peanuts in the event we do trade him. He is basically the captain of the team and that is extremely valuable to US. Kyle Kuzma certainly ain’t moving any needle in trade discussions lol

  8. The Hornets are playing this correctly. I’m cool with letting him play on an expiring next season, but if you can get (two!) first rounders for Miles Bridges without taking back more salary or a worse player then do it.

  13. Bridges was on the trade block the moment he signed his descending contract.

    This needs to happen.

  14. Unless Giannis is involved, no thanks on the Bucks. I mean, really, youre hoping you get any of these team’s best player if you trade Miles.

    He can be a solid role player on a winning team. And we already know him and Lamelo like each other. Just seems like you wouldnt trade him unless it’s a big deal.

  15. I think he needs to be moved for this team to reach its best version, but Kuz definitely ain’t it.

  16. Miles is more valuable to hornets because he’s here and been through the wringer, whereas if he gets traded, he will have a new round of press scrutiny from his past. Teams will take that into account and low ball the hornets. I think he fits well in our plans, he stays…..we have a number of guys we can trade that aren’t key to our future.

  19. As much as I hate to admit it …. Unless we can get a haul I would hold on to him . For all the off the court issues which still irks me he is unquestionably the leader of this team . With this young core you can’t really put a price tag on that unless it’s a haul . In his current role he’s very effective and we all know at some point this year Lamelo or Brandon are gonna miss significant time . For the first time in a decade you have good team chemistry and moving Miles now blows that up .

  21. 2027 unprotected first rounder and kuzma from the bucks

    Hope the bridges trade doesn’t make a difference and Giannis still wants to leave
