Brandon Jennings on 76ers giving Paul George $212 million: They better win the championship this year

Brandon Jennings: “I feel like even with my Achilles, like you just said, the first 30 days, boom, boom, boom. But that Achilles injury made me become more selfish. I stopped thinking about other people first and I started putting myself first. There’d be days where you’ve been forgotten about and people start acting weird. And the most mentally challenging thing is it’d be your friends and family members around you, the ones that low-key be happy that you’re hurt and you’re not progressing.” -via YouTube / June 26, 2024

Brandon Jennings: “Shai got robbed though for sure. He got robbed; he got snubbed, and it’s going to be hard for him to try to get it next year because they’re pumping in Anthony Edwards and all these other young players. His chance, if he was going to get his chance, was this year.” -via YouTube / May 10, 2024

Anunoby, Martin, George, Kevin Porter Jr., James Harden, Nicolas Batum, LeBron James, Naji Marshall, Derrick Jones Jr., and Klay Thompson all have a trade bonus in their contracts. The bonus is calculated based on a percentage of remaining salary owed at the time of the trade. In the unlikely scenario George is traded during the season, the bonus is voided because it exceeds the maximum salary allowed. -via ESPN / July 11, 2024

What I appreciated about Doc (Rivers) and Sam (Cassell) is that they were always able to see past all of that. They didn’t knock me for what happened in the Bubble. They didn’t knock me for my situation in Charlotte. While I was with Charlotte, in 2022, the police found weed in my car and gave me a citation. They were asking me all these questions about the league. Man, I told his ass Jokić was the hardest player to guard. I’m over there talking about basketball. -via The Players’ Tribune / July 10, 2024

Montrezl Harrell: That’s why a lot of people, I think, don’t like me. At the end of the day, everybody’s out here in between these lines because we’re trying to, one, feed our family, but, two do some shit for the team, for the organization, for the city. Real talk. I came back to the Bubble for this, after having to bury my grandma in the ground, bro. The person who raised me, the reason I play this game. I was so fucked up mentally, more than I even knew. Alright, with that in mind…. I told P right then and there, in front of coaches and everybody, “I will knock you the fuck out, bro. You’re trippin’. You was wrong, bro. You’re WRONG.” -via The Players’ Tribune / July 10, 2024
