So like one of the bigger things from the famed Jazz Beat Writer Twitter spaces was that Rudy Gay 'mother****ed" the team.

There were videos of him and Quin getting heated on the sideline during the season, I'm guessing that he wanted a bigger role, was toxic about it, and that led to issues for everyone. We also lost three really good locker room/culture guys in Joe, Niang, and Favors and replaced them with 3 headaches in Gay, House, and Whiteside.

No idea. But What i know is that Him and Mike getting along quite well which is probablty part of the poor performance Mike did in second part of the season.

He reminded Quin of the player Quin recruited to Missouri that the University later dismissed after the player was choking coeds on campus and this was after Quin was warned not to touch the player with a ten foot pole. Quin of course denied that he was warned but the player's junior college president kept a recording. I guess Quin was a little touchy about the incident.
Yeah, but if it's just one ******* who cares? There has to be people on the team who sided with Gay if it was something that really affected the locker-room.

Most likely his good friend Mike Conley.
Didn't he openly told the media they play different defense without Rudy? That was against the Mavs when Rudy sat out. We lost the game but the first half was an eye opener. We played good switching D and we were leading. Then successive DNP for him. If he can tell the media this imagine what he told he locker room
He also said something strange about Gobert and what he makes per year, so whatever it was, it was clearly Anti-Gobert. It felt like Donovan ignored Rudy on passes more this year, maybe from the influence of Gay.

If you go back and look at his stats they weren't totally horrible. His defensive rating was good. In the beatdown in game 5 Quin not letting him off the bench was petty by Quin. It was intended to humiliate Rudy.

Was he even on the bench?
