Walker also embraces the role of a leader as he explained that he is one of the older guys in the roster. With that being noted, Walker hopes to generate energy and enthusiasm within the team.

“I’m just trying my best to get everyone a little bit better each and every day. Our camaraderie, our chemistry is building. It’s getting better each day. I am one of the older guys on this team, one of the guys who have been around a little bit longer than a lot of the other guys, so it’s fun. I’m just being myself, trying to bring energy, trying to bring enthusiasm,” Walker pointed.

Meanwhile, his All Star teammate Hayward finally spoke about the team’s issue with his former co-star Irving. According to Hayward, he is more than excited to welcome Walker and Enes Kanter into the team. As for Irving, the All Star forward wishes nothing but best of luck for his former teammate as he goes to Brooklyn.

With regards to his progress as a recovering player, Hayward is confident that he will be able to contribute more next season, NBC Sports reported.

“I wanted to just stay here, have a whole summer where I could train. Try to get myself feeling pretty good,” Hayward said.

Hayward also revealed what keeps him motivated to finally get through from his devastating injury and get better.

“More than anything, just building back some confidence; being able to do everything that I’m used to doing. Reps is what gives you confidence, being able to do things over and over and over and not worry about how my ankle is feeling or having to be cautious with it, has been really good for my confidence,” Hayward revealed.
