Podcast appearances and mentions of Mikal Bridges

Everyone thought a deal would center around Deandre Ayton, but the Brooklyn Nets have stated they're not interested.

The NBA Draft is upon us and the #Sixers continue to be in the news. The question is, will they trade Tyrese Maxey? The Phillies are still a team with newfound life, but their bullpen continues to come up short. Can they turn it around in time for the 2nd half of the season? Quick Takes w/Dan Green: We still look at the Mikal Bridges trade and shake our heads to wonder what the Sixers were thinking. What are some of the trades you wish you had back? The 2 Minute Warning w/Al Griffin: The fans of Philly are always known for their ceremonious boos. Has it reached its peak yet and become a tad bit overboard? The Final Judgement w/Tony Cutillo: The WWE has been the cream of the crop for years, but now is starting to leak oil. With the recent settlement disclosure and misconduct findings of Vince McMahon, could this be the downfall? Sir Charles took to the media with some comments about KD and they weren't perceived too well. Does Kevin Durant Need a "Real" Ring for his legacy? Was it KD or Steph?

How does Mikal Bridges feel about that Game 7 loss? We find out, thanks to the JJ Redick podcast, the Old Man and the Three. Then we talk contracts. Two of the first decisions to be made by the Phoenix Suns this summer is whether they should commit to extensions for Devin Booker and Cameron Johnson. Both players are already under contract for next season, but become eligible for extensions on July 1 beyond those contracts. Booker can get up to $211 million over four years, and Cameron Johnson could get Bridges' money at $90 million over four years. Should the Suns do it?

If you're an NBA fan, then you know exactly who we're talking about when the words "The Glove" are uttered. That's right, on the pod today is NBA Hall of Famer and one of the greatest defensive players to step on the court, Mr. Gary Payton. He discusses his career in full detail - from making the jump from a draft disappointment to an elite player, his journey to try and win that elusive ring, his presence on and off the court and what made him such a special talent. He also breaks down his partnership with Hennessy and their "Unfinished Business" campaign to help small businesses as part of the NBA 75th Anniversary. Now, you would think that's enough, but there's even more great conversation to cover as NBA correspondent Mikal Bridges joins the program as well. He starts everything off by addressing the Suns devastating playoff exit to the Mavs and tries to make sense of what went wrong. Then, after the Payton interview, he returns for the OM3 draft, which focuses on the "Top 5 dishes served at chain restaurants". It's a can't miss double shot on the OM3.

The Phoenix Suns season didn't end the way they wanted but it did see Mikal Bridges get the respect he deserved being named to the NBA's first team all defense.

THE SUNS WIN IT IN 6! Chris Paul's brilliance. Devin Booker's return. Deandre Ayton's dominance. Mikal Bridges' growth. Cam Johnson's Thursdays. What a game! Led by Chris Paul's perfect game (14/14FG), the Suns offense fired on all cylinders tonight as they put on a masterclass in efficiency against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker's return may not have been excellent, but he hit the big shot when it mattered and his return alone instills plenty of hope as the Suns look towards round 2. **The Suns will play the Mavericks in Round 2 on Monday, 5/2 at 9pm CST** Make sure to subscribe on all podcast platforms!

James Ham, 1320 Kings Insider, The Kings Beat We saw star players bounce back and play like stars last night. Ja Morant leads the Grizzles to a 3-2 lead over the T-Wolves and Mikal Bridges helps the Suns bounce back on both sides of the floor to go up on Phoenix. The NFL Draft is tomorrow but that doesn't mean much for the 49ers and the Raiders. Plus, Heat send the Hawks home and 2 more potential elimination games tonight. 

Wolf and Luke discuss how the Suns looked like themselves last night and Mikal Bridges playing lockdown defense. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Stroup is joined by Raphielle Johnson, Steve Alexander, Aaron Robinson and Jared Johnson to break down some of the best and most surprising fantasy performers in the playoffs, including Jordan Poole, Desmond Bane, Deandre Ayton and Jalen Brunson. Also on this episode: We break down what we've seen from Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke and the Grizzlies, and our expectations for Jonas Valanciunas in New Orleans moving forward.(01:30) Raphielle's playoff observations(09:39) Ja Morant is amazing(16:23) Mikal Bridges big night(23:32) Jalen Brunson's contractual future(25:48) Jonas Valanciunas future value

On Wed.'s ep. of No Dunks, the guys discuss Ja Morant's last-second layup to give the Grizzlies a 3-2 series lead, Brandon Clarke's offensive rebounding, Mikal Bridges leading the Suns over the Pelicans, the Heat holding off the Hawks to reach the East semifinals, ATL's offseason outlook, tonight's two Game 5s, Iron Man, and more.

The Memphis Grizzlies were down big in the fourth quarter but Ja Morant was able to get going after a slow start to get past Karl Anthony-Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are going home, thanks to Victor Oladipo, who was starting in place of Jimmy Butler, and the Miami Heat defense. John Karalis and Tony East discuss those games and the Phoenix Suns win, powered by Mikal Bridges monster game.
