An interesting tidbit to add to that is that a few months ago after a particularly bad game, he said something like "I can't play like that, man. I didn't have any assists. I didn't shoot well. That's not who I am. I need to involve my teammates".
He's since proceeded to play the same way despite that comment.

@The_Jamal Marcus Smart is 14th in the NBA in RPM.
Really wish the Kings would have went after him hard in the offseason. He would have been a great addition and helped immensely with running the 2nd unit.

I seem to remember him/his agent expressing no interest in going to the Kings during the rumors, but I am not sure of that.
EDIT: searching the internets to confirm my memory and finding nada. all i'm finding is that the rumor was quickly squashed by the Kings themselves (which confirms your memory).

its regular season, for stats in regular season I do not pay much attention.. coaches do not use defansive specials on opponents players, game is not played with 100% and it is used by players to pump up stats..
I am waiting to see him when every posession counts, when defence is on 100%, and coaches pay more attention to exploit weaknesses of oposition..
I would love for Jokic to do this in PO, that would mean he really took it to another level, but I am just not convinced..

T-Mac was infamous for his utter and abject failure to elevate his teams in the postseason, but I don't know how fair it is to say that he "fell to pieces." McGrady is one of a small number of superstar players whose career playoff scoring average is at least three points better than his career regular season scoring average. Granted, his playoff FG% is lower but, for the most part, I feel like he never lived down that choke job against Detroit in '03.

I feel bad for Luke Walton. I’d want out if I was him. LeBron basically has the reputation as a coach killer and he just wants a figure head on the sideline. Spoelstra was fortunate that Pat Riley had his back because LeBron even tried to run him out of Miami. Luke doesn’t have that luxury. I’d expect a figure head on the Lakers sideline before seasons end. Who’s a recently retired LeBron flunkie that can take over? Well, I guess Ty Lue is available.
Hiring a coach before LeBron is pretty much like hiring a coach before the GM
