Damian Lillard says hes not interested in rebuilding That's not what I'm interested in That's what the frustrating part of it is Talking about what's gonna happen next season And us 'building' That's not what I'm here to do especially at this stage of my career

Sam Presti If there is one thing I'm a little frustrated about besides not winning the final quarter of the season is I think we lost out on a lot of team development

Charania LeBron James and the Lakers just simply didnt see eye to eye on what it meant to try compete for a championship Sources close to LeBron tell me that his priorities are clear with his next home he wants to compete for championships he wants to play meaningful basketball

Buha I spoke with several Lakers people this weekend more often than not there was an acknowledgment that we might have taken a slight step back this season but this is about the longer-term vision here with building this core from the ground up around Luka and Austin

Sam Presti In this job as a leader what you want to do is build teams that you wish you could have been a part of and I feel that way about this era of the Thunder

Draymond says he was surprised at the Reaves contract I didn't expect the Lakers to go so high On a team where you had Austin Luka and LeBron the team didn't fare as well as one would hope I thought Lakers would stand pat and negotiate it down Austin had some struggles in the playoffs

Rich Paul On LeBron James not wanting to be a third option on the Lakers behind Luka and Austin When the coach asks you to do something and play a certain way he doesn't know how to buck Obviously I'm not the third option But if this is what I'm being asked to do then I'm going to do that
