Since joining the Nets in the Kevin Durant trade in February, Mikal Bridges has elevated his game and value around the league accordingly.

His numbers went from 17.2 points per game for the Suns this year to 26.1 points per game for Brooklyn over 27 regular season games.

NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski says that the Nets are getting serious offers for the 26-year-old small forward but intend to keep him in case a big star becomes available.

“Mikal Bridges is a player that they’re going to build around… The kind of offers the Nets have gotten for him speaks to how valuable he is, a player I think for Brooklyn, they keep in place when the next big star is available in a trade,” Woj said, via ClutchPoints.
