Mikal Bridges has really flourished during his time with the Brooklyn Nets.
He has averaged 21.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists since coming to the Nets in the middle of last season.
But the Nets have been lacking, which has many people wondering if they will trade away Bridges or others in order to build a better roster.
Fred Katz, via Evan Sidery, says that isn’t happening.
He reported that the Nets are showing “zero interest” in trading Bridges away and view him as the co-star for “whichever All-Star they can eventually trade for.”

This is promising news for all Nets fans.
First, it shows that Brooklyn is eager to keep Bridges around, which is very exciting because he has been doing so well.
Second, this report proves that the Nets aren’t content to stay still and are still hoping to land an All-Star on the team in the near future.
The question now is just when they will do that and who they will acquire.
The last few seasons have been tumultuous for the Nets, with them losing James Harden, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, their head coach, and more.
They have been attempting to build a new identity and break their way into the crowded Eastern Conference.
But that is easier said than done and they have to be very smart and strategic about the route they take.
They need to make the right choice when it comes to landing an All-Star and be sure they are signing someone who can really help the team get better and prosper.
No matter who they try to sign, it’s clear that the Nets are going to keep Bridges.
He could be the future of the team but he just needs more assistance to help him.
