Draymond on Looney: "His game & what it is now, doesn't resemble his game at all from what it was. The hand he was dealt - before he ever played an NBA game, he had 2 major hip surgeries...to become the player he's become, it's insane and most people don’t acknowledge it & don’t give him credit."

Marc Spears on Al Horford: "He's taking his time. There's 3-4 teams. I know there's been a lot of speculation about Golden State, but you know, we'll wait to see if that that 3pt shot gets to Chase. He's taking his time and seeing what else is out there."

Klay to young hoopers: "That's why it's easy for me to come out here & play with y'all. I was in your position, I was hungry. I'm still hungry. I'm not a 1st option guy & that's fine bc I know I can still impact winning & at the end of the day all that really matters is winning. I promise you that."

Kidd on Flagg's fit with the roster: "He fits, you know, there's not going to be any pressure on him. He has future Hall of Famers around him that will protect him and also teach him how to be great. He's a worker, loves to be in the gym. He's not scared."
Kidd on Flagg going to a team w/future HOFers: "Being a young player coming into our league, you couldn't ask for a better situation [w/AD, Kai & Klay as mentors for] how to be a pro & have a routine, how to be prepared for practice or big games, understanding making mistakes & how to correct them."

Dray: "Doubt is what [his, Steph, & Klay's] journey was built on. We all were in a sense overlooked. You didn't see it coming, doubted all of us - he's too small, he can't dribble well enough, I can't shoot. Our foundation is actually built on covering each other's weaknesses, it's what bonded us."

[Ben Golliver] Cooper Flagg, 18, on why he reclassified to graduate high school in three years and position himself as the youngest No. 1 NBA Draft pick since LeBron James: “A quote my mom likes to say a lot: ‘If you’re the best player in the gym, then you need to find a new gym.’”

[Townsend] In the end, I’m told, Sweeney viewed the Spurs job as taking on more responsibility, another step to becoming a head coach. Kidd is an established coach with a Finals & 2 conf. finals...he loves Dallas. Sweeney had a glass ceiling. It’s more about that than the associate head coach title.

[Highlights] Shoutout postseason folk hero TJ McConnell for being a true hooper. All postseason, but esp. in the Finals, he put up insane shot making through tons of contact & against defenders 2x his size, completely unbothered & went all out on every hustle play as the smallest guy on the court.

[Cranjis] AD's top stat this year, among the 175 Summary & Quick View stats at BBI, is how versatile he was offensively when it came to his play type distribution. On ball, off ball. Big man attacks, wing attacks, guard attacks. He's such a hard player to guard, and this is part of that.
