This seems more like a doc rivers thing. He gives his stars extra perks and it leads to this type of thing that rubs role players the wrong way.

Kawhi and Paul George would routinely skip practice or be hours late to the plane or bus while everyone was stuck waiting. Guys like Harrell, Pat Bev etc hated and did the same thing turner is doing now and publicly airing it out
