But it was clear that after signing a max contract, Hollins was at a loss with Guy.
Before the last preseason game against the Mavericks, Hansen sought out Hollins.
"You're saying to let Rudy come off the bench?" Hollins was startled by Hansen's suggestion.
A max-contract player coming off the bench, Hansen, you sure have some nerve!
"Rudy's recklessness is because he feels untouchable."
Hollins didn't respond; he knew Hansen was right, but the management wouldn't let him do it.
"If we let Rudy continue like this, we're likely to miss the playoffs again this season, and then you, coach, might be implicated."
At this, Hollins instantly looked up.
Most people only care about things that affect their interests, from Tois to O'Neal, to Hollins, it's all the same.
"Besides, it's just this one preseason game, of course, we wouldn't say that." Hansen's implication was clear: he wanted to send Guy a warning.
Hollins stroked his chin and thought for a while, finally agreeing.
