On game day morning at breakfast, Hansen and his Breakfast Club members finished training and sat there chatting.
Smith was the most enthusiastic at the table, clearly in a very good mood.
This was directly related to his current situation. He had successfully fought his way back into the rotation, and management had also given up on the idea of trading him.
The primary reason for this was, of course, his noticeable recovery in condition due to high-intensity training.
On the other hand, a secondary reason was related to the current Cavaliers' play style.
Iso-play, like the triangle offense, is essentially a superstar isolation tactic, where role players just need to create space and defend.
As long as JR is in form, his outside shooting alone is something Murray can't match.
Plus, with his physical qualities, if his attitude is right, his defense is much stronger than Korver's.
