According to Brian Windhorst from ESPN, Bridges will stay with the Hornets and will not be shipped to any other team, the player's agent told.

Due to his unique status, Bridges has the right to approve or deny a trade. His agent, Rich Paul, informed the renowned journalist that his client would not approve any trades.

Bridges plays on a qualifying offer he received after getting into legal trouble due to domestic violence last season. If he gets traded, he loses Bird Rights, which the Hornets retained after the player was suspended.

Bridges is one of the key pieces on the Hornets roster, averaging 21.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks were previously interested in acquiring the player.
