Adam Silver on LeBron’s free agency decision:
“I would like him to make his announcement already, so he can finish the schedule. Because as you might imagine, the teams are calling us, the networks are calling us, and everybody wants to lock in the schedule. But it will influence how we set the schedule, how we set opening week, Christmas Day, etc.”

"I wore 34 because my mom was born in 1963 and my dad was born in 1964 so I took the three and four... if you add three and four it equals seven... I feel like 34 holds so much weight and it has so much history. Out of respect to the organization that drafted me... I decided to leave that number there and try to start a new chapter."

Kevin Garnett says the Jaylen Brown trade is similar to that Karl-Anthony Towns trade:
“It’s like Minnesota kicking themselves over the KAT trade. I think Boston gonna look back on this. It’s like when KD left Golden State and then he turned around like what the fu*k, like this one of the moments where you don’t break a great thing up. This is a great thing. They just had to you know and then two, man. Keep it real man those two have been tested through the think time and time. So this is just relationship it ain’t always going to be great. You know what I’m saying? But it would have to be something detrimental for me to break that up.”
