His name has been mentioned everywhere in recent weeks (Clippers, Cavaliers, Pistons and Jazz…) but, in the end, Miles Bridges decided to return to the Hornets. ESPN And The Athletic agree to discuss a contract of $75 million over the next three years, fully guaranteed.
Much less in the spotlight since his legal troubles, due to domestic violence, the winger remains nonetheless talented. Charlottehis return was even considered “vital” for the team, but his future was unclear since he was free agent unprotected this summer.
At 26, the hyper athletic Miles Bridges is coming off a season averaging 21.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists (at 46% shooting, 35% on 3-pointers and 83% on free throws). He was one of the most attractive profiles of this “free agency”, but the market quickly closed for him, and fallback destinations allowing him to be paid well were rare…
Hence his re-signing with the Hornets where, under the orders of Charles Lee and in the company of LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Mark and Grant Williams and Tidjane Salaün, he should be part of the team's executives.
