It probably would take a sign-and-trade deal in which the Clippers send a draft pick to Charlotte for Bridges, who averaged 21 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 46.2% from the field last season for the Hornets. Players who have been discussed for a possible deal include sixth man Norman Powell, who makes $19.2 million, and swingman Terance Mann, who makes $11.5 million.

Terance Mann getting traded for Miles Br**ges is WAY more of a red flag about this organization than anything that happened with PG – 8:33 PM

This is how I imagine the Miles Bridges situation is playing out in real-time.
Charlotte have made an offer, Bridges is looking for more. His agency Klutch will have already have spoken to Utah/Orlando as the remaining camp space teams to see if they have interest.

If the Charlotte Hornets operate as a cap space team, they should have $8 million left to spend after acquiring Josh Green.
That factors in their ability to re-sign Miles Bridges after.
Reggie Jackson’s $5.25 million could go into their remaining cap space or the room – 2:59 PM

Adding Josh Green does not impact the Miles Bridges situation. Even if Charlotte re-signed Bridges, they have a $30-40 million buffer to the luxury tax. More than enough space to absorb Green’s $12.6M salary and retain Miles. – 2:56 PM
