"The Warriors have little to gain from inking swingman Brandon Rush to an extension before Wednesday, but he's playing so well that they're at least considering the move.

Warriors general manager Larry Riley said he's had discussions with Rush's agent, Mark Bartelstein, about a one- or two-year extension. If they don't reach an agreement by Wednesday, Rush will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season - meaning the Warriors could match any other team's offer.

"I love it here, and I want to be here," Rush said before Friday's game against Indiana, the team that dealt him to the Warriors during training camp. "Whether we sign an extension or not, it won't make any difference at all in how I play.

"I'm going to keep playing like it's the last year of my contract. I'm going to keep playing as hard as I can."

Rush has been a nice complementary player for the Warriors since arriving last month in a trade for forward Lou Amundson. The 6-foot-6 fourth-year player has given the Warriors a consistent defensive presence against shooting guards or small forwards, and he's knocking down open three-pointers at a 51.3 percent clip."
