I can't believe you have people on here trying to sing Billy King's praises when this is the second confirmation that we've gotten about how guys were late and not doing what they were supposed to do
I am shocked that a team full of rookies castoffs has beens and never weres operates diffently than a team full of veterans who understand their bodies and what it takes to get themselves ready for a season
And I'm sure you can dig up similar quotes from him saying the same thing with every regime change
How about he lead a team to over achieve for once in his career
Or a team full of young players supposedly desperate to stay in the NBA?
One could also make the argument that veterans wouldn't necessarily seek to get there early all of the time because they know they're too good to be benched.
The narrative can be spun multiple ways. NBA players are still professional. The fact that a professional organization couldn't keep professional players accountable does not reflect well on those in charge. Either whip the malcontents into shape or kick them off. The worst thing you can do is let people get away with putting in minimum effort and still rewarding them.
