Unless Bridges is brought off the bench, Id rather trade him. As I said before, Jamal Crawford was also a finesse player,more offensive minded. Crawford moved to the bench and won 3 6th man of the year awards.

Bridges disappearing acts for long stretches might be solved with a bench role. More urgency to make the minutes count.

Bridges to the bench was probably too much egg on our faces this season.

But next year? Hell yes off the bench please. Sign me up.

Is Mikal better than Deuce? I don't believe he is.

Bridges is better when he wants to be. Too often he seems happy to spectate.

A bench role might give him the space to go on a run, without Brunson on the court.

Benjy freaks out a bit about Bridges around the 10 min mark. He was acquired for 3 and D, and was lacking in both 3 and D

Yea the Bridges and Towns segments were alarming to hear ngl. These guys definitely are on point, and was pretty damning critique of both.
