The rumor implies there was a feeling of "us" against "them" inside the lockeroom. If you're enjoying your job but you then perceive the guy next to you resents you in someway because of your standing on the team, how do you think you're going to interact with that coworker going forward?
If you feel your boss doesn't appreciate your hard work, do you continue to work hard for him? Especially if there is a guy "just like you" who stood up and is now a martyr?
Sounds like players vs. coaches and players vs. players.
This of course is all speculation based on a couple happenings during the season and an unverified source who could be just stirring the shit out of amusement or some sort of perceived personal gain or both.

Not sure if any of this actually happened, but it is a complex situation and dynamic relationship that is far too complex to over-simplify.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

It's easy to fire a guy if he's a meat head and nobody like him. It's not so easy when it's a locker room leader presenting points that make sense to other guys on the team.
He might have been representing a group of guys, speaking on their behalf as well. Leaders do that.

All the critisism on Casey pre-all star break didn't mean sh!t. We were a legit contender, easily a team on the rise and no one could discount our chemistry. All the critisism didn't matter because whatever Casey was doing, IT WAS WORKING.
hmmmm Ive been trying to figure it out and maybe thats what caused our turn-around. Im a fan of JJ but f*#% him if it's true. Show him the door if its true.

If this is true...and that's a big IF, than this is a greater testament to Casey's failure. Again, Phil Jackson and other great coaches have had to deal with players infinitely more loopy than James Johnson and not only did they nullify any negative effect they would have on the locker room, they found a way to pull the best out of them on the court as well. Apparently Casey can't do either. Epic Failure...if this really happened, then this convinces me more than ever that Casey needs to be fired and doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach of an NBA team. Part of the job is negotiating the tensions between the personalities that these volatile thoroughbreds have. It's an absolutely essential component of a great coach...so Casey doesn't have this either.

Unless you were involved in the convo and now you're just using another Screen name...youre still a loser if this is the case lol
