Q. Without injuries, how far you think y'all would have went like with that Wizards team? John Wall: I think we would have gotten to East Conference finals for sure. We would have made that step. And I think like I was getting to where I was, Bradley Beal was getting to where he was, somebody would have wanted to come play with us. We were missing one piece. Like Trevor Ariza was a great three-man. I think we just needed another like superstar because every team at that time was having three stars. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: I would say just like a mid-level superstar. Like somebody out there to get you 15 20 you know every night.
Jorge Sierra: Shai passed all these players in playoff scoring last night: Derrick White, Bill Cartwright, Boris Diaw, Derek Harper, Kiki Vandeweghe, Phil Chenier, Tobias Harris, Jeff Mullins, Dennis Rodman, Alvan Adams, Bob Love, Trevor Ariza, Zelmo Beaty. He's No. 216 all-time now.
How long did it take for all that to come together, like the team chemistry, all that? Trevor Ariza: It took a Pau Gasol trade. Once Pau got there, it seems like the Lakers just hit a stride and they just didn't look back."
Trevor Ariza on the best scorer he played with: "James Harden, for sure. He figured out how to score the basketball. He got it. He had it. The shithe was doing was just... it was crazy. Just being on the court, sometimes you kind of fall asleep just watching, bro, like damn, yeah, he really did that (...) It’s kind of like Luka right now."
David Hardisty: Trevor Ariza says the best scorer he ever played with was James Harden with the #Rockets. (Note: Ariza also played with Kobe Bryant 2007-2009) "The sh*t he was doing, it was crazy. Just being on the court, sometimes you'd kind of like fall asleep just watching bro. Like damn, he really did that?" Via @TidalLeague

I’m taking [Marcin] Gortat over Tristan Thompson,” Wall added. “Our bench was deeper than theirs. We had [Bojan Bogdanovic], Kelly Oubre, you know what I mean?”
