Today, after the Lakers training, Smart was interviewed.

When talking about becoming a quarterback (organizer) on the defensive end of the Lakers, Smart said: "It will be difficult at the beginning because it is a new team and you have to re-learn different tactical systems. Different teams have different concepts, different terminology and different tactics. Then of course there is the issue of team chemistry. But once you slowly get into the state, start to understand the system, understand your teammates, their habits, and the styles of play they like and don't like, the chemical reaction will slowly get better and everything will gradually flow smoothly."
