Phil Jackson has interventions with Shumpert and JR Smith about their troubles. Then after he's rid of them he trashes both and shares their private conversations.

I also said that because of his unacceptable behavior, he had two strikes against him with this team. He didn't really respond. He's a very sensitive guy, with his big doe eyes. He looked like he was going to tear up. But he finally responded that he was going through some issues with his gal."
"I asked Fish what players were the biggest distractions. He said that although J.R. never talked back to him, he always walked around under a dark cloud. Derek was worried that negative energy was contagious.
He spills the beans on his coach's thoughts, his players, and that one of them was near tears. I really think Phil wrote those tell all books after Lakers/Bulls runs and thought he'd never work again. He must have been laughing when job offers still came in.
