It's my personal opinion that Jennings was becoming somewhat of an "issue" with the team. Ever since he made his self-serving comments regarding the lack of leadership now in comparison to how he took over the leadership role the previous season after Smith was let go I was getting that feeling. Coincidentally BJ played like straight garbage every game except the first one after he decided to start a frenzy with the media over "leadership". I was thrilled when he got dealt to Orlando as part of that deal.
i don't think it was really much of a issue publicly to each other, but i do think
1.) It impacted RJ mentally, and i think thats just human nature. He coincidentally has been playing better since the trade
2.) It left a question on the entire teams mind, when RJ would have bad games. Though never spoken, it obviously made some impact
I don't think it's a coincidence, and I don't think it's because BJ is gone. It's because of Harris.
