The Phoenix Suns traded Bridges to the Nets at the 2023 NBA trade deadline as a key piece returning in the Kevin Durant deal

Bridges averaged 19.6 points on 37.2 percent three point shooting, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals. He was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2022 and is yet to make an All Star team.

The transaction may be a sign of things to come with OG Anunoby’s pending free agency.

Bogdanovic started his NBA career in Brooklyn.
