While I don't necessarily disagree that Stevens may be too timid to handle difficult personalities like Boogie, Dwight, etc., I think having a smooth, harmonious locker room is more dependent on the leader among the players than the coaches. I believe role players/non-stars fall in line behind their superstar. Just see KG, Lebron, Kobe, Curry, Dame, etc. The list goes on. I mean even Butler reportedly ran Whiteside out of town. A team needs a strong leader in the locker room to survive guys like Howard, Cousins, Beasley, JR Smith, Lance, etc. People can argue Smart is that for us, but he's not that good on the court to earn everyone's respect off the court. Kyrie was just a bad leader for us. Our star vets Hayward, Horford, and Kemba are too laid back and are more lead-by-example types. I don't think they're the type who will keep those naughty boys in line by confronting them. Not sure if I got my meaning across?
