Marcus Smart previously has also said "No one cares about that" in reference to the in-season tournament during media day. Is the fact that there are no stakes taking away from this new event?

If I were Silver, I would be handing out fines for this stuff

These are regular season games. That is the floor. Even if you cared zero about the in-season tournament, you should care, because it still counts as a regular season game. And frankly, since there is real money attached to winning the IST, you should care a non-zero amount about it, even if it is a small amount.

So, now, it may be true that you don't actually care about regular season games. But come on, you cannot allow your players to say that shit out loud when you are charging $100 for nosebleed tickets and $5k for courtside. Come on. Enforce some discipline for the sake of the product.
