CJ McCollum on Jonathan Kuminga He has championship DNA coming from the Warriors The athleticism is off the charts Hes got a mid-range He knows how to post up screen and defensively he can guard 1-5 He was in a not so great situation and now he's found a happy home

Bontemps Let's call a spade a spade The Pacers made that trade because they're cheap Ivica Zubac is a good player but they made that trade amp gave up a premium to get him because he's on a very good contract so they could probably stay under the luxury tax which they haven't paid in 20 years

MPJ on why Cam Thomas didn't last in the NBA For Cam I think it was a mixture of him being frustrated with a lot of things and also his personality He doesn't really socialize He'll say like two words all day all practice He doesn't really talk to anybody

Desmond Bane on Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr being at his game tonightIts special Those are guys that I spent 5 years with Its a friendship thatll last forever Im thankful that they pulled up to support
