IMO, I don't think that was the case. Maybe it was an either or....either you get Bridges or you get all those picks. Especially, since Sarver was in control round one. However, Bridges being part of the deal was always out there from day one. That was reported all over the place. If you are the Nets and trading KD? I want your best player not named Booker. To me that is entirely reasonable.
If you are the Nets your goal in trading any valuable asset is to get a young core piece in return.
The Suns could have said no, we are not trading Bridges. It's not like Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, expirings, 4 draft picks and a swap was garbage.
