Jusuf Nurkic: "We never had any problems in the locker room. Whoever came in through trades had to fit into that system. Until Carmelo (laughs). He kind of stepped outside the system because he was always late, he missed almost every meeting. The coach was traumatized by that and didn’t want anyone to be late, and he didn’t have many rules, but he stuck to that one. Carmelo wasn’t like he didn’t want to come (laughs), he was like: nobody told me. If practice was at 10, he would show up at 10:45 because nobody told him it started then. He’s not a bad person at all. Far from it. He just had that flexibility, and the coach couldn’t really say anything, which made it even funnier. Later we would joke: where is Carmelo? There were no problems at all.
