Miles Bridges celebrates a play with the Charlotte Hornets

Miles Bridges is coming off a breakout season with the Charlotte Hornets. Bridges averaged a solid 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game and combined well with fellow rising star LaMelo Ball.

Although Bridges was extended a qualifying offer by Charlotte on Tuesday, the forward wasn't given a max deal and will test the waters in free agency. Considering his push for a max contract, he might not find too many suitors may in light of recent events. The forward may feel hard done by given he turned down a four-year deal from the Hornets last offseason.

With a massive stain on his career, Bridges may have a difficult time finding a new landing spot. While rumors have indicated that the forward will be given a max contract regardless, he will bring with him a lot of baggage and bad press.

Depending on how the situation develops, the 24-year-old's future in the league does not look promising.
