Among the things that were accurate and not hyperbole? Bridges did draw interest from the LA Clippers, who needed to make some moves — particularly after Paul George bolted to Philadelphia — since they’re opening up their new arena this season. They were a real option. “Yeah, the Clippers are a great organization,” Bridges said. “They wanted me, the (Cleveland) Cavaliers wanted me. But at the same time I was just trying to see what was the best fit for me, and what would make me and my family happy.”

More on this storyline
Bridges is back in his preferred destination, the place he’s called home since the Hornets acquired his rights in the 2018 NBA Draft, and eager to get going. “I just feel like this is a new start,” Bridges told The Observer on Wednesday in his first extended interview since re-signing in July. “With coach (Charles) Lee and the new coaching staff coming in, new management, I just feel like we are stepping in the right direction. And I just feel like I wanted to be a big part of that. “And plus, I already have chemistry. I have been here for seven years and I’m comfortable here. So that played a big part, too.” -via Charlotte Observer / September 27, 2024
