Devin Booker on the Suns failed Big 3 era featuring Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal This last couple years it was win a championship or bust We didnt even make the Play-In Definitely the toughest two years 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

Mitch Johnson We werent ready to win an NBA championship The better team won We did a lot of good things and we didnt finish the job That's what it is

Pelinka What did those teams Detroit San Antonio and OKC have to go through to build through the draft Multiple seasons of losses and that is just not part of our infrastructure here As much as some of us might want it to be that way its not the Lakers way

Kendrick Perkins A Donovan Mitchell led team has never been to a conference finalsWhen you're trying to make a deep run in the postseason the only thing that matters is that locker room You've gotta have that dawg mentality and you've gotta want it

De'Aaron Fox We lost Game 3 but that was the first time he Gregg Popovich walked into the locker room and was like Nah that's BS that's not how we play basketball and obviously he had some choice words for us

LeBron James I'm not looking at my year as a disappointment that's for damn sure I was put into positions I never played in my career before actually in my life I've never been a 3rd option in my life
