(Did Carey already post this?)

These are all paraphrases.

Triano: 5 guys had career years, not counting Jackson or Chriss
Triano (when asked about coaching next season): Today should be about the players. He is who he is, and we've already seen what kind of work he is going to do. He will keep investing in young guys.

McD: When they decided to start rebuilding the "right" way, they targeted a 3 year window. Longer than that, and losing sets in.
McD: We have the ability to create a lot of cap space easily if needed for one, or more likely multiple players. Will see who is available.
McD: Going forward, players will be evaluated more on merit than they have been.
McD: Has a target list of coaches, but has not started coaching interviews yet.

Bender is a bit homesick for Croatia after 7 months away.
Bender (asked who he wants to beat in a 3pt shooting contest, like the ones they have after practice): Obviously, he can't match the shooters on the team, but he likes to challenge Tyson.

Chriss: I like playing with Bender. I get to be around the ball and get rebounds, he gets his 3pt shots. We work well together.

Booker: The league has been beating him up since he got here, and he feels the pain of losing just like the fans.
Booker: Area of improvement over the summer - His body. He wants to be healthy to not miss any more games.
(Apparently Chandler is good in the team 3pt contests, because Booker likes to challenge him, too.)

Jackson: Wants to get stronger and work on his handles
Jackson can't sleep on the plane because he's afraid of heights

Every single person on the team should be saying that.

Bender should have said he's going to ask his doc about low T

Who would you consider a mediocre vet?

Carmelo. Avery Bradley. Thad Young. KCP. Monroe. Wes Matthews. Ilyasova. Wilson Chandler. All free agents this summer.

This was mean but it made me laugh despite myself. Somehow picturing Popeye Jones saying it made it 14% funnier.
