2. The Utah Jazz could steal Miles Bridges from the Hornets
The Utah Jazz are another team that could potentially have cap space next summer and may also hold an interest in adding Bridges to their roster. Will Hardy has proven himself to be one of the best young coaches in the NBA and may feel that he could help Bridges take his game to the next level – assuming the Hornets forward impresses during the upcoming season.
As a team, the Jazz shot 67.1% around the rim last season – ranking them 11th in the NBA. Yet, Bridges would likely help them climb into the top 10 for rim scoring, which would help generate additional rim pressure and kick-out opportunities for perimeter scoring.
Utah struggled when shooting the three last season and may feel that improving their rim gravity is a way to generate better-uncontested looks around the perimeter moving forward.
After proving himself as one of the best young coaches in the NBA, Will Hardy may feel like he can help the Hornets forward reach a new level and could be tempted to push for Bridges during the 2024 off-season – assuming the forward impresses in a Hornets jersey in the upcoming season and remains out of trouble.
