Orlando general manager Otis Smith wants the relationship between Stan Van Gundy and Gilbert Arenas to improve next season.
"There's some growth there that needs to happen as it relates to him," Smith said of Arenas. "Their relationship is going to have to get a little bit better. The relationships in the locker room with one another is going to have to continue to get better."
Arenas averaged a little more than 16 minutes per game in five playoff games.
"In Game 4 and Game 5, he realized that I'm useful so he used me," Arenas said. "Before the playoffs, I was just sitting in corners. I wasn't a part of the offense. The offensive is built for Dwight (Howard) and shooters, and I'm more of a creator myself."
