Common denominator between all the dysfunction is Brad, Ainge, Smart and the J's.
•According to multiple team sources, there was some dysfunction in the locker room, with the relationship between Stevens and Walker characterized as tension-filled. Sources also suggest that
•Stevens was also perceived to be harder on Walker than on other top players
•This came in the wake of Gordon Hayward’s departure, after which sources said Hayward told Stevens he needed to establish a stronger voice with players if they were going to win.
•Several team sources felt Stevens was more aggressive with certain players this season, which included Walker who was criticized for his defensive mistakes
According to sources, several players expressed frustration with Stevens’ “college offense” and how the team’s best players would often get stuck in isolation
•At season’s end, multiple sources close to the players said several members of the locker room were welcoming a coaching change, noting Stevens did not appear to hold key players accountable, with complaints he was favoring Smart over others.

Guy loses the locker room than gets put in charge of team and hiring his replacement. Maybe he does just fine but it doesn't seem right thus far.

Some people just can’t manage egos. Stevens might be a good basketball mind, but coaching in the NBA isn’t just Xs and Os or a simple motion offense with the right rotations. That may work in college, definitely won’t work with today’s young players.
Certain franchises want to keep things internal so im
not surprised at them promoting Brad and giving him a chance at assembling a roster and building a team. Might be better suited for him. His persona was always labeled as soft and not holding players accountable. That won’t work in the NBA.
They might need to find a players coach for that team. I really think Billups is a good fit there.

Larsen never holds back. He also said if Conley comes back the luxury tax would be like 70 M's or something. They have nothing to replace Conley with if he leaves though so their hand is forced
