Entering his 15th season, DeMar DeRozan doesn’t take Opening Night lightly. “It’s amazing, man, just to think about the longevity, to be able to play this game so long. To still be going, to still love the game, to still have motivation, the passion, everything about it,” he said following Tuesday’s practice at the Advocate Center. “I don’t look at it like I feel old. It’s more so it’s a blessing to still be playing.”

Mike Brown: Nah, I can’t either. When you say Golden State Warriors, immediately what comes to mind are the three guys that are there still. Obviously, Steve Kerr comes to mind, but you think of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green right away. If you’re a huge basketball enthusiast, your intentions are pure, and you appreciate the game at the highest level, one of the things you think has to happen is those three guys have got to ride off into the sunset together.

Mike Brown: This is a huge debate, and everyone tries to throw Kobe Bryant in there. I’m one of the few that coached both during regular-season and playoff games. The one thing that stands out about all three guys (including LeBron James and Michael Jordan) is their competitive spirit, which is off the charts. Not only those three guys but if I lumped all the great players I’ve been fortunate to be around, you start throwing in Stephen Curry and Draymond (Green). Competitive spirit is one thing they all have. Читать дальше...

“If I’m being quite frank, I knew I would be traded eventually,” Smart said. “Just figured it would be the next season, just based off my contract and with the new CBA. We already knew that. But it was just the way it happened. I was told everything was good after asking multiple times. Like, ‘I’m hearing (rumors), what’s going on?’ And they’re like, ‘No, you’re good, you’re good, you’re good.’ And then when I do hear about the trade, it’s from Shams (Charania) on Twitter before I hear from the team.”

On Lacob and Golden State potentially retiring his jersey, Durant said: “He should. Look at the résumé. That would warrant me to get a jersey retirement, right? Do I want to be honored by a franchise I put work in for? Of course, I would love that. I had some great moments there. I built some solid relationships there. Yeah, man. Hell yeah, that would be sweet. I love that organization, man. I love my time there, seriously. Me leaving, people shouldn’t doubt that, because I left there.

Chris Finch: “We need him to run. We need him to roll more. We need him to value being in the dunker. These are things that are going to get him opportunities early in his career before you allow him to play with the ball and that kind of stuff, but you can see he has some real natural feel with the ball in his hands. You don’t always know how it’s going to end up, but he’s fearless, and we like that. He reminds us a little bit of Vando (Jarred Vanderbilt) when Vando was here. Also a ball-hawk... Читать дальше...
