Mikal Bridges: “I wasn’t raised when things get tough to want to leave and get out. I know people might want to think about different situations and teams. Obviously, I’ve got my boys over there in New York, so everybody goes with that.”

Mikal Bridges on what needs to change for the #Nets going forward under Kevin Ollie.
“Just all got to be together on a string” and do the details without thinking so much. Being more accountable, starting with his own body language. pic.twitter.com/njS1q7L0R1 – 8:01 PM

Don’t think I’ve ever heard Mikal Bridges curse this much at the podium. He’s fired up, in a good way. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him like this. – 7:56 PM

The complete misunderstanding of what “build around Mikal Bridges” means by a large segment of the Nets fanbase remains baffling.
“build around” ≠ “has to be your best player”
A lot of teams would like to build around Bridges, as seen in his heavy interest on the trade market. – 3:04 PM

From his answer here after BKN’s loss at BOS, it was clear Mikal Bridges was frustrated w/BKN offense. Worth noting that Spencer Dinwiddie also advocated, in non-confrontational talks w/Vaughn at start of year, for clearer definition of roles/hierarchy: pic.twitter.com/skruGKtcu6 – 1:42 PM

I spent my last podcast breaking down a potential disconnect between Mikal Bridges and Jacque Vaughn following the former’s comments in Boston.
In the end, the Nets listened to their top player.

The Nets are rebuilding the roster around forward Mikal Bridges. They hold significant salary cap space and draft capital to build around him this summer and beyond. -via ESPN / February 20, 2024
Evan Sidery: Mikal Bridges was “pretty vocal behind the scenes” about Jacque Vaughn’s offensive scheme, per @ShamsCharania on @RunItBackFDTV. Vaughn’s offense heading into the season was planned to be primarily built around Ben Simmons, who has only played in 12 games this season. pic.twitter.com/PgDi36dV7Y -via Twitter @esidery / February 19, 2024
