- Kevin Durant: “I’m not here to judge somebody or talk down on the life or how they feel their views. I just didn't like anything that went on. I felt like it was all unnecessary. I felt like we could have just kept playing basketball and kept quiet as an organization.” #nets
- Kyrie: "I told you guys that I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to be the first option or the second option or the main one. This is just a message for everybody at home: 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, they don't fu-king matter to me....The objective is to win" #Nets
- Spencer Dinwiddie: "We may not be the best trade package, but we're the best looking. And the #Nets needed some help in that department."
- Jacque Vaughn on Kyrie Irving: "There's a business side to this thing and there's a human side to this thing. I elected to touch on the human side and check on him as an individual. I'll leave the business side to Sean (Marks, GM) and that group." #Nets
- Steve Nash said KD is closer to playing than Ben Simmons. #nets
- KD on stars getting booed in returns to former cities: "Its rooted in love. They once loved you, cheered for you & bought your merchandise, had life altering experiences coming to games watching you play. When it gets ripped from them...they feel like a piece of them is gone too”
- Patty Mills: "The distractions can leave us and we can now focus on the task at hand." #Nets
- Dinwiddie on how he got hot: “If I hit two 3s in a row, I feel like Steph. So I hit a couple 3s, boy, I’m telling you, I felt like I was 6-3 and light-skinned. I wasn’t going to stop shooting after that.” #Nets
- KD on how to keep Ben Simmons confident: "Trust in him, pass him the ball, tell him be aggressive...(But) Im not here to babysit anybody. Ben knows that. If he’s got a time to be aggressive go be aggressive. Who gives a sh1t if you miss it? We like you being aggressive." #Nets
