Isaiah Thomas says he played through the injury that cost him a $200,000,000 supermax, nobody warned him it could end his career. One year later, he signed for $2M
“I get traded to Cleveland. I’m upset because at that point I put my career on the line for something, you could’ve just broke down to me and told me: if you do play, or if we do this, it could possibly be what it happened to be. None of that was stated.”
“It took me three years to really get back to who I am. It was a tough situation, a learning experience for myself. I got real love for Boston and everybody in that organization, I’m not blaming Boston, I’m not blaming those guys, people know what happened, it’s documented.”
“It sucks, because so much was on the line. If I got All-NBA that following year, I’m a super max guy, I’m eligible for the super max. So all of that is in play. That sucks… but you live and you learn. That hurt, because I put my career on the line. And then you trade me too.”
“That year… I always say that was the best year of my career and the worst year of my life at the same time. Let that sink in. I lost my sister, almost had a career-ending injury, lost out on some big bread.”
Morray shares INSANE story on J. Cole:
“J. Cole called and told me to come to his house so we can record… I pulled up with 4 of my N****s with Guns to his crib.”
Morray Adds, “Cole said man what the F*ck! Why are you at my house w/ Guns!?”
They ended up recording “My Life” at his studio house & not his actual crib as a result of the lapse in judgment.

Kevin Garnett says turning down a $122 million contract taught him the importance of knowing his worth.
Quentin "Q" Richardson : “How was it for you to turn down 102 million when you were dealing with your contract at 21?”
Kevin Garnett : “I actually turned down 122 million. And at that point, Nook had just signed for 105, so the scale was jumping.”
“One, always know your worth. Two, know the people that came before you and what they made to understand how the market is moving.”
“The problem was I never actually got to deny anything, my agent did it without telling me. So the first thing I did was fire him.”
“Being able to speak for myself was huge for me. I didn't want somebody else speaking for me.”
“I probably would’ve taken the 122, but then I started learning the business side of basketball and what was actually possible.”
“We started making a wishlist of incentives,private charters, flight time, vacation packages and we implemented them.”
“Out of ten things, I got eight of them just because I asked and had the leverage. I wanted to be the one to say I knew my worth and went for it.”

Jayson Tatum on Jaylen Brown getting traded:
"To be transparent, it's weird.... You understand throughout the course of your career that the NBA is a business and people change teams... but it doesn't make it any easier. It's still a human element of it.. But it's also a side you have to welcome our new teammates"
