I get a little nervous when people talk about sending a message Sometimes it implies that you may not be fair to that individual player We want to portray a positive image in terms of our players in this league - Adam Silver on Ja Morant

Cedric Coward on Ja Morant If you want to say all the negative connotations about him you're dead wrong and you need to keep your thoughts to yourself Ja is one of the best people I've ever met One of the best people to be around

Adam Silver on new ASG format The players have embraced it I think the guys get it It's helpful just to mix things up once in a while I do get a kick that some of the players that haven't taken it as seriously in the past are saying I really love the east vs west format I was like alright

Bill Simmons on Adam Silver This is the most important decision of his career

Jaylen Brown we give the benefit to those who you know who necessarily are trying to manipulate the game into their advantage And I just don't think that's basketball Like let's just play basketball

Reggie Miller on SGAs Foul baiting Are there questionable calls Absolutely But Hes attacking the defense every night Jaylen Brown been calling this out and he just shot 21 free throws last night

JJ Redick We talk about this as a staff like our losses are louder than other teams Because we're the Lakers and because of the way we lose I make mistakes
