The F1 Madrid Grand Prix will be held from 2026

The Rockets, who are playing in Brooklyn tonight, still possess the Nets’ first round draft picks in 2024 and 2026 without any protection, as well as the option to swap picks in 2025 and 2027. The Nets currently do not have any picks in 2024 and 2026, but they do have multiple picks in 2025 and 2027, including their own pick (with a potential swap) and the Phoenix Suns’ pick without protection in 2025, and their own pick (with a potential swap), the Suns’ first round pick without protection, and the 76ers’ top-eight protected first round pick in 2027. They also have the option to swap first round picks with the Suns in 2028 without any protection.
According to insiders, The Post learned that Brooklyn turned down four initial round selections for Bridges during the previous season – now known to be from the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Hoopshype. Their admiration for the 27-year-old wing has only increased since then. Even if the Houston Rockets were to offer back the remaining draft assets that the Nets relinquished for James Harden, the response would still be negative.

According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Kings showed interest in both players to reinforce their struggling defense.

“We’re all humans and we know it’s a part of the job,” said Bridges who still has two years and .2 million left on his deal after this year. “I think we’re just trying to lock in now and do what we can do here. But I don’t know. You’ve got to ask everybody.”

During the Nets-Timberwolves game, Bridges was questioned about the potential for a trade.

According to the article, the Nets rejected a deal involving two first-round picks for Finney-Smith. However, there has been speculation about him potentially joining the Bucks, Lakers, Mavericks, and Thunder. Meanwhile, O’Neale may be able to bring in a first-round pick and has received attention from the Bucks, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pacers, and Timberwolves.

Lewis mentioned that Royce O’Neale, who is currently on a contract worth .5 million, is likely the player on the team with the most interest from other teams. This is a reasonable amount for someone at his 3-and-D skill level. Dorian Finney-Smith, who was acquired in a trade for Kyrie Irving at last year’s deadline, is not far behind.

Regarding Spencer Dinwiddie, there is ongoing speculation that he may be involved in a trade among three teams involving point guards. This potential trade would see Dinwiddie going to the Hawks, Dejounte Murray going to the Lakers, and D’Angelo Russell joining the Nets. There are mixed reports about the Hawks’ timeline for potentially moving Murray, but Lewis suggests that a move involving Dinwiddie may happen sooner rather than later.

You may see the Nets involved in larger transactions where they utilize their seven trade exceptions, which are currently the best in the league. Five of these exceptions will expire between February 6 and 8, including the ones created from the Kyrie Irving trade (.5 million) and Kevin Durant (.1 million).

According to Lewis, the Nets consider Bridges to be extremely valuable and would not be willing to trade him to the Houston Rockets in exchange for all the draft assets they gave up in the James Harden trade in January 2021.

Brian Lewis shares updates on the trade deadline, which is 16 days from now, and speculates about the potential roster at 3:00 p.m. ET on February 8. However, it is unlikely that Mikal Bridges will be involved in any trades.

Two reports from Phoenix on Friday stated that the Suns are interested in O’Neale, adding another contender to the mix.

Bridges ranks third in terms of salary on the Nets this season, following Ben Simmons and Cameron Johnson.

There is speculation that Smith Jr. may be on the verge of leaving the team, as evidenced by his recent instances of being benched in the latter part of games.
