One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that 2021 is the first year with the elimination of the one-and-done rule. In theory that should result in a strong draft.

I don’t think Bridges is a tweeter forward. He’s a small forward. His 6’7 and 210lbs frame are not a PF’s frame. The introduction and acceptance of “small ball” has lead people to (imo) misidentify players. Saying that someone could play a small ball PF is more saying they could play out of position than that they are a tweeter. Rather, a tweener is someone whose game and/or body does not ideally fit one or the other description. Kevin Knox is a tweener (6’9 but somewhat of a perimeter-oriented game) while Bridges is a SF who could be called upon to play small ball PF. At least that’s the way I see it.
He's not a tweener at all he's a SF and a wing. He's a legit 6'7
I guess it's incorrect to call him a tweener. He can play some PF in the current NBA the same way Marion did. So it's tough to correctly label him so long as people are still stuck in the previous NBA format of a PG, SG, SF, PF, C because currently it's looking more and more like the PG, Wing, Wing, Wing, C sort of future is what we'll be seeing. At the least modern frontcourts are turning into more of a Center with 2 Forwards rather than a Small and Power Forward.
Someone beat me to it. And more succinctly at that!

It wouldn't surprise me to learn it'll happen in 2020 and that's part of why the Suns parted with the pick, or they figured that year is more likely. Who knows for sure, but certainly they know more than we do in that regard.
Well, that might be advantageous, considering the MIL pick could convey unprotected that year.
I am not overly familiar with Mikal but when I watch the scouting videos, I am less than enamored of this trade. His weak handles, questionable on ball defense and poor court vision suggest he's just another version of PJ Tucker. I just don't see that being worth the 16 and an unprotected pick. Hopefully, the scouting video I just watched was overly critical in it's analysis of him.

I really like the Suns trading for Bridges but I'm not going to rationalize trading away the unprotected future Miami pick. It hurts. It was a valuable trade chip and it has a lot of trade value going forward. This is why the 76ers did the deal.
Yes it was a valuable trait chip which was cashed in what’s the point of keep saving them if you found the trade in the player that you likedI really like the Suns trading for Bridges but I'm not going to rationalize trading away the unprotected future Miami pick.

If he really has all the weaknesses some of the scouting videos suggest, we've screwed ourselves. If he's the mature, well rounded, dynamic 3 and D player some experts say, we got a steal.
This is where we are. I'm willing to give McDonough the benefit of the doubt at least for now.
I don't think he could wait until 2021 to produce.
Let's hope Bridges is that good.
is there anything such as a guaranteed trade or draft pick ?
