Especially with the new TV deal. I saw it was worth 8 billion a year, which doubles the last one.

100%, Bridges is looking at Jerami Grant’s and Harrison Barnes’ contracts and wondering why he can’t get paid $20M a year when the cap is only going to continue to go up.

Bridges lack of a killer instinct or scorer's mentality might keep him from getting a huge deal. For example, there were times tonight he looked to shot or drive, but didn't for some reason. The game might not have been as close as it was if he had been more aggressive. Miles is a pretty decent shooter from deep.

"When he was in negotiations for his extensions a couple of weeks ago, I'm told the Hornets' baseline offer was four years, $60 million," said Brian Windhorst. "Which is $15 million per year. If you look at what Mikal Bridges, which we've compared him to during his career, got... which some people in the league feel is an overpay."

Mikal Bridges signed a four-year, $90 million extension with the Phoenix Suns.

Based on how Miles Bridges has played to start the season, he will be in line for a contract closer to what Mikal Bridges signed as opposed to Charlotte's extension offer.

Not surprised the Hornets lowballed him. That will bite them in the backside and cost them if they want to resign him this coming offseason.

In Mitch I Trust

Miles believed in himself and will get paid for it.

Oh man that’s bad… there’s a fine line between a lowball and a great deal, this was a flat out low ball.

With his bird rights we can essentially keep him for any amount of money but they might have been able to get him locked early on a 4x$20M which would have great deal in hindsight.

Yep. 70-80 million would have been a fantastic deal especially with his production.

Miles is going to be expensive and it's deserved, but it means that it'll be on him and LaMelo to bring a championship to Charlotte.
