More on this storyline
Lucas Kaplan: Whew, from Kevin Ollie himself: “It’s not all on JV. We all have a part in this. And I know he took a lot of bullets up here for a lot of people, and the respect I have for him is always overflowing, but it definitely has an effect with the players. At the end of the day, life’s gonna throw some punches. If you really want this thing, and you want to get contracts, and you want to play in this league, life is gonna hit you, and it’s like, ‘what am I gonna hit back? What’s the grit I’m gonna have when I turn the page?’ This is the life that we chose. I played 13 years for 12 different teams. So I’m experienced in all this: coaching changes, being traded, 10-day contracts, being an assistant coach at UConn and becoming a head coach and understanding how you can make a change and how you can make a commitment in chaos. I’m used to this. I’m built for this.” -via Twitter @erikslater_ / February 20, 2024
Tim Bontemps: Kevin Ollie, when asked what he can do to bring out some of the energy and effort plays Sean Marks said was lacking, said he has a list of 17 “energy generating behaviors” that was gone over “extensively” today. Said the Nets can’t be last in loose balls and have 5 charges drawn. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / February 20, 2024
CJ Holmes: Ollie: “I want hunters. If you hunt, you’re going to play. If you don’t hunt, you won’t play.” -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / February 20, 2024
