"I think it left a lot of people just like, 'What the hell is going on here?'" Marcus Smart said. “I don’t think you’ll ever get a straight answer about what’s really going on because there’s only so much they can say and that they know,” Smart said. “You can ask, but I don’t think it’s going to change anything, help anything."

“His name got slandered & slaughtered and it was ‘He’ll probably never coach again.’ And a couple months later he’s possibly going to be the coach of one of our biggest rivals. It’s tough. It makes no sense.”

Smart added, “his name got slandered & slaughtered and it was ‘He’ll probably never coach again.’ And a couple months later he’s possibly going to be the coach of one of our biggest rivals. It’s tough. It makes no sense.
"Obviously, they suspended him for breaking a team rule," continued Smart. "And it’s like, ‘OK, now obviously it looks like more than a suspension'. But [now] he’s able to still coach. So what exactly was the team rule and how big was it to the point they felt they needed to suspend him and then all of a sudden say, ‘You’re gone’ and allow him to go coach somewhere else?"
Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski have been reporting that a deal to bring Udoka to Brooklyn is imminent. It's a decision that has left many who follow the sport outraged, calling the Nets a "disgrace" and "soulless."
