We saw how KP handled it (at least publicly, but there is reason to believe he was professional about it privately…I mean, you saw DFS tweet to him right?). Time is the factor that we have to obey, but 1 bad apple can turn multiple apples bad too.
Again, all we can do is wait and see. Maybe he's excited about being around Cuban (no joke). Maybe, he's happy to be out of a leadership position, given that it went so poorly. Maybe, he's happy to be out of WAS, no matter what. Maybe he won't come off the bench for long, even.
One thing I'm confident about: in the worst case scenario, wherein Dinwiddie comes in and hates his role, isn't happy, whatever, I think that will be much less of a problem than the team has had trying to make it work with KP over the past couple of years. Starting, not starting, whatever, he's being brought here to help as a piece on Luka's team. He knows it, they know it, we know it. Those will be the expectations, and they come with considerably less pressure from all angles than KP had on his shoulders just two days ago. I think that's a positive change, for literally all involved parties.
Monta seemed to be a guy teetering on sourness, all it took was for Rondo to get in his ear and he soured too. DSJ turned sour after believing in the things he was hearing from his teammates that seemed to dislike Luka taking over.
