This past offseason, Miles Bridges ultimately re-signed with the Charlotte Hornets on a three-year, $75 million contract as an unrestricted free agent but he also received interest from the LA Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers.

"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."

Despite entertaining offers from rival teams in free agency, Bridges has interest in remaining with the Hornets for his entire career.

"Yeah, for sure," Bridges said. "Not too many people can say that they stayed with one team their whole career. Kemba (Walker) almost did it here. But I want to be one of those players. I want to be a franchise cornerstone for Charlotte until I retire."
