This version of Mikal Bridges looks nothing like the one Brooklyn traded away, but his revamped role could be the key to New York ascending in the East.

Mikal Bridges returns to Brooklyn on Tuesday for the first time since being traded. He played two seasons with the Nets.

Mikal Bridges was traded to the Knicks this past offseason, and he looked like a good fit for this team. However, his inconsistent scoring and okay defense have left fans questioning if trading for him was the right move.
