Eric Gordon: "I was supposed to sign a max deal with LA, like, right then and there. And then that’s when we had the lockout. Once we got back from that, they were promising me, 'You’re going to be here for five years,' this and that. The trade was done; it was supposed to be Bledsoe, Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu. And then, once they backed out of it, David Stern probably went to the GM, and they just threw me in there, and the rest was history. I was a little confused, and I was younger too. When I got to New Orleans, I wanted to do well, but I had already gotten injured. And people down there thought I just didn’t give a damn or anything while I was down there."

Reflecting on the progress BWB has made in producing NBA-level talent, Ujiri said: "The talent has come a long way. There are many more opportunities now. "You think about the camps - BWB, the FIBA camps, Giants of Africa camps, the SEED [Academy] camps. All these players are doing basketball camps. Al-Farouq Aminu just had one, Pascal Siakam just had one, Luc Mbah a Moute has his, Luol Deng has his. There are so many of them going on [across] the continent... Bismack Biyombo just had his in the Congo, Serge Ibaka - all these guys are coming and giving back.”
