Both Donovan Mitchell & Mikal Bridges have 3 years left on their deals.
Mitchell being from New York would be a huge draw for the Nets. IMO Mitchell suits playing as a pseudo point guard than an off guard. This Nets team will be built around him, and with 50 + million coming off their books in 2024, they can soon look to improve their core to keep Mitchell happy.
Bridges will automatically improve the Cavs perimeter defence. Cavs guards were too small and struggled as a result, Bridges is a massive upgrade in size. Garland would now have more opportunities to create on offence. With the drop in salaries & free agents, Cavs could have 27 million in cap room to upgrade their roster.
