Miles Bridges will remain with the Hornets

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has decided not to agree to any trades before the trade deadline, ensuring he will continue to be part of the Charlotte team for the rest of the season.

During the summer, Bridges accepted the qualifying offer as a restricted free agent, committing to a one-year deal. This choice grants him the authority to reject any potential trades, as he would lose his Bird Rights, crucial for future negotiations if he were to be traded.

In the upcoming summer, Bridges will transition into unrestricted free agency, and the Hornets will possess his Bird Rights. This allows them the flexibility to negotiate a long-term contract with Bridges or explore options like a sign-and-trade to another team in collaboration with the player.
