Suns’ Miles Bridges disaster shows why the Pistons never traded for him

PistonPowered's Swoosh Shrestha argues that the Phoenix Suns' acquisition of forward Miles Bridges demonstrates why the Detroit Pistons made the correct decision in never trading for him. Despite career averages of 16 points and six rebounds per game, Bridges has struggled to make a positive impact in Phoenix, with the Suns' defensive rating plummeting from ninth last season to 29th following the trade.

The writer notes that Phoenix surrendered an unprotected future first-round draft pick and two role players for Bridges. Shrestha asserts that Detroit benefited from avoiding a costly trade, opting instead for veterans Tobias Harris and John Collins to provide two-way effort at power forward.
