Charlotte Hornets restricted free agent Miles Bridges remains another Cleveland target, which cleveland.com reported Thursday. However, a source maintains the Cavs don’t have enough money and the organization would need to make a series of cost-cutting moves to ink him because he is not eligible for a sign-and-trade. It makes Bridges joining the Cavs highly improbable, so it may be better to focus on targets with a clearer pathway. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / June 30, 2023

Miles Bridges: JVG deserves better -via Twitter @MilesBridges / June 30, 2023

With Brandon Miller’s arrival, Gordon Hayward still here and, barring something unforeseen, Miles Bridges in the mix again (we’ll expand on that in the next section below) Charlotte is pretty stocked at the wing position. And that doesn’t even take into account Cody Martin, who appeared in only seven games in 2022-23, and Bryce McGowens. So, there’s really no room for Oubre. Meaning unless the Hornets thin out a suddenly overcrowded position, a return is unlikely. He’ll probably have to wait through the first few waves of free agency before finding a new home. -via Charlotte Observer / June 30, 2023
