We always overrate what we see on a TV and whether guys are getting along like they should and whether they're happy.

But I think if you go through, other than Jalen Brunson, if you just go Nick by Nick and you were able to put four drinks in them and after three hours, you were like, hey, I got to ask you.

Are you happy?

How many of them would say yes?

I think Alvarado would say he's happy.

I think Alvarado's loving life.

But how many of them would be like, no, no, I love my role.

I love the amount of shots I'm getting.

I really love playing for Mike Brown.

How many people would actually say that if you drug them and ask them for an answer?

Well, I think we should preface this by noting that there are a lot of guys on this team where

no matter what team they've played for in the past, this still would have been an issue.

That's true.

You know, OG was not like...

loving his role as a Toronto Raptor early.

So Cat, similarly, they were up and down things.

So there's going to be some carryover in that regard.

But I think you're right.

I think there are, under the surface, divisions in the team.

I don't know what they are, but you hear whispers about it all the time.
