[Saba Sports News] The NBA trade deadline for 2024 is quickly approaching, and among the swirling rumors is the potential move of Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns. This speculation has been gaining momentum, with the Suns reportedly showing strong interest. However, they are not the only ones, as the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons have also inquired about Bridges’ availability.
As the deadline draws nearer, it seems increasingly likely that Bridges might be heading to Phoenix. According to Gerald Bourguet of PHNX, the Suns are optimistic about securing a deal, although there are some obstacles. One major hurdle is Bridges’ no-trade clause, which he would need to waive for the trade to proceed.
Another concern is Bridges’ recent legal troubles. With Bridges set to become a free agent after the season, his future with the Hornets is uncertain. This uncertainty, combined with Charlotte’s new financial flexibility, has opened the possibility of a trade. This would allow the Hornets to gain some value in return for a player they might lose for nothing.
Bridges has been performing well this season, with averages of 20.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game, while shooting 45.9% from the field.
