Mikal Bridges Traded To The Phoenix Suns

Mikal Bridges, who began his NBA career with the Phoenix Suns before moving to the Brooklyn Nets and then the New York Knicks, could potentially return to the Suns. Bridges is entering a "lame duck" season as he currently lacks a contract for the future.

A proposed trade is outlined where the Phoenix Suns would acquire Bridges from the New York Knicks. In return, the Knicks would receive Suns guard Grayson Allen and the Suns' 2030 first-round draft pick.

While Bridges has connections to the "Nova Boys" and the Knicks face high expectations creating a volatile situation, the article addresses potential skepticism from Suns fans about a Bridges return. It argues that a reunion is more plausible now due to changes in the Suns' ownership, general manager, and head coach since Bridges left.

The article highlights Bridges' value, describing him as one of the NBA's most reliable players. It suggests his personality and skills would make him an excellent third option for the Suns, fitting well with a developing "scrappy" team mentality.
