I would not play for the Wizards right now even for $5 million a year

Honestly, would you play for the Wizards if it was 5 million a year? ... I would not. In five years' time, I would love to play for the Wizards, but right now I'm declining.

I would play for the Suns for $1 million to help their salary cap

I already said that I would play for the Sons for $1 [million]. Cause they need, they need cheap rosters. Yeah. 1 million. 1 million.

Brian Cashman would have been fired if his name wasn't Brian Cashman

If Brian Cashman's name wasn't Brian Cashman, he would've been fired already. Right. Brian Cashman's a powerful name. ... I I'm like convinced that like if you're, if you're a Stein runner, you hire Brian Cashman. He's like, well, yeah, he's the cash man. That's what we do here.

The Indiana Pacers won the trade deadline by adding Ivica Zubac while maintaining a path to a top-four pick

I look at the Pacers, you know, like you add a top five center in [Zubac]... you clean up some of your cap stuff, you bring in a top center who's gonna make you a little different... and then you have a chance at the top four pick here... I like what they did because they were doing something long-term while also making sure that they're tanking.

The Milwaukee Bucks should not play Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season

I don't even think Milwaukee would want Giannis to come back and play... They should want to do whatever they can with this pick 'cause they don't have many of 'em. And Giannis probably shouldn't even wanna play and risk health and risk this contract extension that he can get before next fall. So the tanking is gonna get egregious.

The Clippers made a smart pivot trading James Harden for Darius Garland

I like what the Clippers did... I don't think Darius Garland is this bad. He's a two-time all star. He's 26 years old... when he was right, he was terrific. And Harden... fourth trade request in six years. So the Clippers very quickly on the fly... you'll look at the Garland thing and go, man, they were able to land a player like that for Harden.
