Jaxson Hayes on coaches' decision to play him limited minutes: "They told me just to stay ready...It's the coaches' decision, so I respect that always."

Austin Reaves:

"Obviously this wasn't our expectation at all but honestly, as a group, we just didn't play well enough to beat them."

The players were clearly tired again. JJ is a full of s*** and is an a******. I would fire him and find a center. Knecht should have been playing. T wolves had too much size in gobert and Randle. Gobert was looking like Shaq owning the paint smh… Randle outplayed Lebron. Reaves isn’t as good in the playoffs when the league actually starts to play defense

Austin Reaves' expectations for the offseason with LeBron James and Luka Doncic: "Just continuing to grow together."

Rui Hachimura:

"We couldn't get rebounds. We need somebody to get rebounds. I need to be one of them."

Rui Hachimura playing center: "It's tough. Unfortunately, I'm not a 5. I'm 6'8, 240 pounds.

Dorian Finney-Smith said the starting lineup has generally been good, but the Wolves' size took advantage of their small-ball unit tonight.

DFS on his 1st season in LA: "Being here has been amazing. Make it to the 3 seed … Luka coming in in February was a big surprise, happy to be back with my dog. Just mad right now though that our season ended.”

Dorian Finney-Smith says he has not thought about his player option yet as he was focused on the playoffs and getting to the second round.

Jarred Vanderbilt:

"They beat us to all the dirty work."

Jarred Vanderbilt says he is excited to have a healthy offseason for the first time in a couple years so he can put the time in to work on his game.

Jarred Vanderbilt: "As a team, considering everything that happened this year, we did a good job."

Markieff Morris: “Gobert played the game of his life”

LeBron James said that, since his first NBA Finals appearance in 2007, "Every season that I didn’t win the Finals is a disappointment. It’s the same offseason ... disappointment and (not being fulfilled). Nothing changes for me."

man doesnt understand if he shoot 35% on 3-4 attempts, he'd be one of the best role players in the league

LeBron James, who has a player option for next season, says, "hell, I got a lot to think about, too" when asked about the Lakers roster for next season.

LeBron James thinks JJ Redick handled his first season very well knowing how challenging it is to be a first-time coach on the Lakers.

"I thought JJ and his coaching staff were great throughout the whole season."

LeBron on where playing alongside Bronny rank with everything he’s accomplished: “No. 1. For sure.”

Extended thoughts from LeBron on JJ Redick:

"I think whatever happens, JJ will continue to grow.

Thought he had a hell of a rookie campaign ... it’s a hell of a lot harder being a rookie head coach coaching the Lakers. A whole other ballgame.

I thought he handled it extremely well. Thought he learned every single day, held us accountable, pushed us.

I thought JJ and his coaching staff were great throughout the whole season.

That’s one thing for sure - we have a great, up and coming coach that will be great for many years.”
