Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski says he is hopeful to get an extension done prior to the Oct. 31 deadline as he becomes extension-eligible this summer. 

“I want to be here for the long term,” Podziemski said during Monday’s end-of-season interviews. “Hopefully we can get something done.”

Podziemski said he hasn’t discussed a new deal yet with Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy yet, but he is optimistic that Dunleavy and his agent, Bill Duffy, will be able to work something out over the next few months.

The 23-year-old guard is coming off his third season, averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists a game. He was one of only 18 players in the league who played in all 82 games this season.
