How is it actually trying to guard him? Well, New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum has an answer.  “It’s very tough,” McCollum said plainly during the Warriors’ final summer league game. McCollum also mentioned how the Warriors’ system, Curry’s ability to create his own shot and stretch to the defense all the way to halfcourt, and his stamina are what make him special.  Additionally, McCollum shared what opposing teams’ defensive gameplans are when playing Curry and the Warriors. “You have to throw different bodies at him; this isn’t a guy you can just guard with one person,” he said. “He’s a galaxy, he’s a planet, he’s a solar system. Everything revolves around him.” -via NBC Sports / July 17, 2022

In the theory of “a stopped clock is right twice a day” I present my prediction for @spotrac on what Mikal Bridges extension would look like (written at the end of August): pic.twitter.com/qBKYr56F2G – 3:19 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Mikal Bridges reportedly extends for 4/$90. We’ll have to see if that includes incentives. Close to the 4/$84 with no incentives agreed to in the mock offseason between @DanFeldmanNBA and me. Solid deal for both sides, this is absolute top of the market for a 3/D wing extension – 3:04 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
With Mikal Bridges now locked in for below market-value, Phoenix really has no good reason not to max out Ayton. Even if they don’t think he’s worth it, on balance, they’d be getting their two big deals this offseason done at roughly the right combined price. – 3:02 PM

$90M for Mikal Bridges is tremendous value. Someone was gonna throw huge $$ at him next summer if the Suns had let this go to RFA. Very good news they got this done – 2:59 PM

#Suns practice today was all about Mikal Bridges talking rookie extension and more.

“I want to be here.”
Mikal Bridges addresses rookie extension as he too is up for one like Deandre Ayton.
Said he’ll come to the facility thinking about GM GM James Jones and team owner Robert Sarver, but he thinks more about family, his team.
Oct. 18 is the deadline. #Suns pic.twitter.com/zmYrCPwvD6 – 3:58 PM

Five takeaways from #Suns demolition of Blazers in final preseason game.
1. Devin Booker got it going after slow start in preseason debut.
2. JaVale McGee already fan favorite.
3. 10-man rotation seems set.
4. Communication.
