Marcus Smart - Interview

Warriors News Question: Hi Marcus nice to have you here. How are you doing?
Marcus Smart Answer: Thanks for having me. I am doing well. 

Q: How do you feel with your new team now and how is life here so far?
A: I have had a very warm welcome here. I am very happy about the relationship with my teammates, the coaching staff and the GM so far. It is great to live here. Orlando is a very nice place to live, too. Last weekend I could be on the Super Bowl, that was played very near to my new house. That was a great experience.

Q: You started very well in the first two games for the Warriors. Than your stats flatten out a little bit. Do you have a reason for this?
A: Oh, that’s a hard question. I was surprised about the good start, because everything was new. New teammates to find on the floor, new coach, new system, ... But I felt like I fit in here very well from day one. Maybe it was because I was so excited about the new experience here. But I will work hard to give the team my best every single game.





Q: What is the atmosphere in the team, with all the trades this season and all the rumors about trades that could happen?
A: We try to leave this outside of the doors, but sometimes we talk about it. Sure the team has transferred during the season, but we see the way the management is going. We know Nene and Hibbert can be moved every day. They both know this and I think they are ok with it. Barnes was hurt a little bit after the rumors in the last days. All season long he was told, that he will not be moved.

Q: But GM MaiLo told the press a trade for him will not happen.
A: Yes, and he was very thankful about this.

Q: Who is the leader of the team? It was Mayo, before his trade.
A: I am the leader on the floor, because I have the ball most of time. But the mental leader is Barnes, it is his team! 

Q: Do you think a Warrior will be at the All-Star Game?
A: It will be hard for Barnes, Hibbert or me to make it to the game. All the other nominated players are very good. But make this game is not my priority and I think this is true for Barnes and Hibbert, too. Barnes would deserve to get there!

Q: We thank you for your time Marcus and wish you good luck for the rest of the season!
A: Thank you!
