Myles Turner on why he chose the bucks For me it was ultimately about just staying competitive I saw a chance to remain competitive here

Bleacher Report Jake Fischer Were being told there is some type of split faction in MIL right now among the major stakeholders for the Bucks the Celtics to our understanding are not willing to offer the same level of multiple years of draft capital that the Miami Heat are

Giannis mentioned that Jabari Parker was such an incredibly talented player that his goal was to at least outwork him making it a point to always practice more than Jabari He said Jabari was the biggest motivator of his career

ALLCITY Marc Stein Its pretty well known at this point that Giannis wants to stay in the East The Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics are the two teams that have extreme confidence that Giannis will do an extension if hes traded there

Brad Stevens on why he traded Jaylen Brown The path looked a little bit more challenging to me with 70 of our cap and such a high usage into two players and the reality in this era and in this day and age in the NBA you have to do a great job in building depth

SNY Mike Brown says that Jalen Brunson is him for New York basketball He comes and he probably takes a pay cut that I wouldn't have taken every time they would have thrown that number in front of me would have said no and I feel like I'm a good guy

Giannis on LeBronIf there was a scenario for that to happen I'd be very very excited He's one of the best players to ever play this game if not the best I'd be able to learn so much from himI hope if he thinks that the Miami Heat's a good decision for him I would love for him to be here
