Cade Cunningham There was a great opportunity this season to move forward and to continue to experience new things that we hadn't been exposed to Fell short We were right there but we fell short I think that chip and that sting is going to sit for a while

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

Trae Young says he regrets not playing through injury in the 2021 ECF If what I know now I would have played through my sprained ankle My agents were telling me not to We were 2 games from the finals we had beaten the Suns twice that year You never know when that opportunity will come again

Sam Presti isn't worried about Chet Holmgren If you go back and look at some of the greatest players of the game they all have these moments where they run into defeat or struggle That's what makes them great players is that they're able to continue to move on from that and improve

Donovan Mitchell on if he wants the team to run it back next season I have no doubt that this group can get there You just use this as a learning lesson

Jalen Brunson A lot of great things happen you know when were down one and you miss a wide open layup -Josh Hart For me I wanted to set up an epic last possession We wouldnt have that OG tip in without that missed layup
