Cameron Johnson on trade to Nets: 'That deal was on the table since Kevin Durant requested a trade back in June'

Brady Hawk: Free throw attempts per game so far this season: #1: Damian Lillard, #2: Trae Young, #3: Giannis Antetokounmpo, #4: Joel Embiid, #5 Kevin Durant, #6 Luka Doncic, #7: BAM ADEBAYO This was always the bigger leap for Bam Adebayo’s offensive production than getting up 3’s consistently -via Twitter @BradyHawk305 / November 9, 2023

Darnell Mayberry: Kevin Durant on Alex Caruso: “He’s a phenomenal player. I don’t even want to call him a role player. But just a guy that you can plug with any lineup and he’s going to make the right reads, the right plays on the defensive and offensive side.” -via Twitter @DarnellMayberry / November 9, 2023

Cameron Johnson on Ben Simmons: Then you add Ben into the mix like he, he looks apart right now. He’s probably one of the fastest players in the league up and down the court and there’s so much potential that you can, there’s so much money to be made playing off of that. Like we’re just tapping into it now, like our offensive system and defensive system like he, he’s a huge part of it, but we all got to learn how to play together because he’s it’s not too often you to play with a guy like Ben for sure. You know what I mean is a different play style so he can open up a lot of opportunities. A lot of avenues, a lot of scoring potential for a lot of different guys. We just got to learn how to make that as efficient as possible and we will oh and two, but two really close games, two games that we should have won and big, big, big learning opportunities because it’s going to be like that all season, we’re going to have close games all season. We’re gonna have to learn how to win them. You know what I mean? So, you know, it’s 82 games season. A lot to go. Nobody’s ever won a championship the first week of the season. I don’t know. So we’ll lock back in and get it figured out. -via YouTube / November 10, 2023

Cameron Johnson: We had a lot of guys missing so there was a huge chunk of the season where Mikal was relied on a ton to do a lot of things you know be an engine of the team, so it was a great opportunity for him to take everything that he’s ever worked on and just put it into practice. So we finally get everybody back we play one game against Brooklyn with our starting lineup, the first time since early November that we played it before the trade, so obviously you give Mikal all that freedom leading up to that. He’s a guy that’s always in the gym, always working, always advancing, always looking for ways to get better, he was on the ground and he’s a film guy too so he’s taking everything that he’s working on and he’s learning from it and he’s getting better so you put him in Brooklyn where he has a chance to really fully show what he what he can do and he was just ready for that opportunity, plain and simple. People ask me this all the time like ‘what happened there?’ I’m like he didn’t change, it wasn’t like he magically just acquired some skill like he had been working on this the whole time, like this is the player that he has been working to become this whole time, he gets the opportunity and ‘Boom!’, he was prepared for it. And I’d say the same thing for myself. -via YouTube / November 10, 2023
