It’s telling that it took till the Brooklyn game for DFS to be so upset as to call everyone out to get up the same way for Cleveland. That would be every game with Smart. The players may not like him doing it...up until a guy like Marcus Morris comes in and punks Luka and he steps in with that fire. That’s when they will understand and appreciate him.
Basically the Jimmy Butler story. Couldn´t get along with teammates like Towns and Wiggins. Called them out because they played lazy and did not show the kind of work ethic he expects from himself and all of his teammates. Ends up in Miami. All guys are all in on winning and rally around him. From locker room cancer to undisputed and beloved leader within a few month.
Minnesota:Only playoff appearence since 2004 with him. More tanking without him.
Miami: Make the finals in his first full season.
