Rob Pelinka It's a gift a 25 year old that is top 3 player in the universe I can't think of a more amazing starting point to build a roster for the next decade I know he has the drive to win

Rob Pelinka on LeBron We probably haven't seen a player that has honored the game to the extent that he's honored the game He's given so much to his teammates to this organization The thing we want to do more than anything else is to honor him back

JJ Redick when asked how close the Lakers are to competiting for titles - That's what we gotta figure out this offseason Proceeds to praise his players on how they handled the season individually and collectively

Masai Ujiri Youve got Wembanyama Luka Shai Anthony Edwards and Nikola Jokic all for the next 7-15 years Okay now you have to convince me that I have to beat all those guys You gotta come with something in your pocket okay and in his pocket he had Cooper Flagg

Masai Ujiri on fans' feelings moving on from the Luka trade and building around Cooper Flagg In Africa we say when kings go kings come And a king went and we have a little prince here that we're gonna turn into a king

JJ Redick on Bronny Were gonna have all hands on deck He's improved a lot we trust him The shooting I believe in because of how well he shot it in the G league There was a stretch where he didnt shoot it well Hes improved defensively in terms of his body positioning both on and off ball

Zach Lowe No one who has watched the Nuggets for the years they haven't won the title can make a case that it's Jokic's fault like at all But if he gets a second one the names he's next to are like the holy pantheon of NBA players Bill Simmons He has to be with Bird and Magic at that point
