The Brooklyn Nets received considerable trade interest in Mikal Bridges after acquiring him as part of the Kevin Durant trade, but decided to keep him at the deadline.
Bridges is on the first year of a four-year, $90 million extension he signed with the Phoenix Suns before the 21-22 season.
“I know of one team, and I’ve confirmed this,” said Zach Lowe on his podcast. “I know of one team who offered four first round picks for Mikal Bridges.
“Now, I know of at least three first round picks. I think the fourth one may have had some protections or something, but I’m pretty sure that was a thing.”
The Brooklyn Nets attempted to convince Kevin Durant to remain with the franchise by indicating they thought they had a chance to add another star either at the trade deadline or in the offseason.
Pascal Siakam was one of the players the Nets pursued at the trade deadline, but the Toronto Raptors didn’t make him available.
“I think they told him, ‘Hey man, in the summer, we can get some big names. There are going to be some big names who might ask out. We are going to collect stuff to give ourselves a shot at it.’
“I’m not going to name who those names are, but I think that’s a conversation that was had.
“They tried to get Pascal Siakam now in the intervening 96 hours because K.D. made it known he likes Pascal Siakam. He thought he would be a good fit.”
The Milwaukee Bucks pursued trading for Fred VanVleet from the Toronto Raptors at the deadline, reports Shams Charania.
The Raptors decided to keep VanVleet, who will be a free agent this offseason.
Charania didn’t detail how the Bucks would send out matching salary to acquire VanVleet.
The Los Angeles Clippers were one of the other teams who strongly pursued VanVleet and the Raptors asked them for Terence Ross at a minimum.
