Rob Parker: "I respect that. I really do. Now, that’s not LeBron. Because when you get into bed with LeBron, it’s like all those young kids—just get rid of them. I’m talking about all the people. Get rid of them. That’s true. Trade them away. We don’t care. It doesn’t work like that. You don’t respect Steph for at least acknowledging that? He’s making $50 million from the team. They’ve done everything for him. I don’t know what else you could want."
Kelvin Washington: "You’re dealing with one organization in the Warriors that is homegrown. Steph is homegrown there. All I’ve ever known, all I ever want to be, all they’ve ever known. The new ownership came in, and they got Steph Curry, obviously Draymond, and Kerr’s been our guy. So, he’s homegrown in that sense. I want to do right by this organization. I want this organization to get it right. I want to be a part of it. I don’t want them scrambling because this organization is run by a bunch of smart, analytical people. This is why they won before KD and won a bunch with KD."
