Alright, let’s talk about Mikal Bridges’ contract. I got curious about this the other day, just seeing him play and hearing chatter online. You know how it goes, one thought leads to another, and suddenly I’m wondering what kind of deal this guy actually has.
So, I decided to do a little digging myself. Wasn’t too hard, just needed to sit down and actually look for the specifics. Fired up my computer, started poking around the usual spots you’d check for sports stuff. You gotta sift through a lot of opinions and game recaps first, which is always part of the fun, I guess.
Finding the Details
After clicking around for a bit, checking some reliable sports news sites and those places that track contracts, I started piecing it together. It wasn’t immediate, had to cross-reference a couple of sources to make sure the numbers lined up. You know, make sure I wasn’t looking at some old info or just speculation.
Here’s what I found out about the deal he signed, which was actually when he was still with the Phoenix Suns before the big trade:
- Length: It’s a 4-year deal.
- Total Value: The whole thing is worth $90 million.
- Structure: It kicked in starting with the 2022-2023 season.
- Fully Guaranteed: Seems like the whole amount is guaranteed, which is huge for player security.
My Takeaways
Man, that’s a solid contract. Securing $90 million over four years, fully guaranteed? Good on him and his agent. That happened before he even got traded to the Brooklyn Nets, so Phoenix clearly valued him highly, and that value definitely carried over in the trade discussions.
It’s interesting because when you see a player perform consistently like Bridges often does, you kind of expect them to be on a big deal, but seeing the actual numbers laid out gives you perspective. He locked that deal in based on his performance and potential back then, and now he’s a cornerstone piece for the Nets carrying that contract.
Anyway, that was my little journey into figuring out Mikal Bridges’ contract situation. Just took a bit of searching and reading through the noise to get the clear picture. Always interesting to see the business side behind the game.
