Walker Kessler on JJ Redicks discussions with him about expanding his game to the 3-point line in addition to being a lob threat Coach JJ is obviously hyper-intelligent I think for a big to be able to stretch the floor or even have the threat of it makes scouting really difficult for teams

KOC On Lakers adding Kessler There's a reason why he costed that much He's an elite interior defender elite lob guy elite interior finisher elite screener and he started hitting spot up threes last year There's a chance we look back at this deal as an underpay depending on how he performs

Kon Knueppel Im not super athletic so being able to play off two feet now they have to be ready for a shot fake or a pivot It kind of evens the playing field It evens out the athleticism

KD on international players Its about time They been coming into the league since the 80sreal argument should be who are they influenced by Americans Its cool getting MVPs and stuff but who did you watch They tryna play like us Shai is he international Whered he go to high school

Marcus Smart on playing with Kevin Durant I get to be on the other side of him taking the shots and not taking the shots over mehis ability to make shots it doesn't matter who's there And it also doesn't help that he's close to seven foot and I'm close to six foot

Jokic talks about which defenders give him the most trouble

Rafael and Ime have talked about wanting to get your minutes down at points this season-Kevin Durant Why I'm better on the court The team is better when I'm on the court That's what I'm supposed to be training for is to play the long haul 48 minutes a night If the game needs me to be out
