The Charlotte Hornets have not signaled that they are actively shopping Miles Bridges, but league interest in the veteran forward continues to build.
The Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are among the clubs that have shown interest in exploring a potential deal.
Charlotte is said to be holding a firm price, seeking at least one first-round pick, and potentially two, in any Bridges trade.
His contract makes him a realistic trade candidate, as he is earning $25 million this season and is owed a fully guaranteed $22.8 million in 2026/27.
For Milwaukee, a potential obstacle is Charlotte’s lack of interest in taking back Kyle Kuzma as part of a deal.
Kuzma is owed $22.4 million this season and $20.3 million next year, which complicates salary-matching scenarios involving the Bucks.
Golden State could attempt to center a Bridges trade around Jonathan Kuminga, who would represent a significant young asset for Charlotte.
Phoenix, meanwhile, could assemble multiple contracts to reach Bridges’ salary number, but the Suns are limited by a lack of available draft capital to include in a deal.
