More on this storyline
With under two minutes to play, and the Raptors leading by one, Bridges knocked down a 3 on the opposite corner from where Bruce Brown stood. It gave New York the lead for good. Bridges looked over toward Brown, pinched his two fingers together as he raised them near his hairline, slightly dipped his head and gave a cowboy hat-tip, obviously, without a hat. “None of them are pre-determined,” Bridges told The Athletic of his trash-talking antics. “I know Bruce and he’s a cowboy.” -via New York Times / December 22, 2024
Players to keep a close eye on include Kyle Kuzma, Nikola Vučević, Jonas Valančiūnas, Malcolm Brogdon, Lonzo Ball, De’Andre Hunter, Jakob Pöltl, Jaden Springer, Day’Ron Sharpe, Bruce Brown, PJ Tucker, Bones Hyland, KJ Martin, Duop Reath, Marcus Smart, Josh Okogie, Anfernee Simons, Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles (among others). Some sources anticipate that the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Pelicans and Cleveland Cavaliers will make moves before the deadline to reduce their salaries to fall below the NBA’s luxury-tax threshold of $170.8 million. -via Bleacher Report / December 19, 2024
