However, he wasn't some "King of Memphis" and didn't need to put on airs, so unlike his previous time with the Cavaliers, there had been no conflicts between him and Faried.

And because of his experience with the Cavaliers, he could understand more why Faried acted the way he did and certainly knew the impact it would have on the team if not handled properly.

When Hansen found Faried, he was covered in sweat training in the gym.

This made Hansen see a lot of his former self in Faried.
