Who is it distracting, though? I haven't seen many players complain about it. Monty lashed out at the media for constantly pounding on it. Again, the "distraction" is to fans and "media."

Distraction isn't the best word for it, but it likely disrupts the Hornets' game planning, all the in and out, the different roles for the same players on different nights, different emphasis on defense when Gordon is in over Rivers. Other teams have to deal with the Hornets fluctuations too, but it likely affects the worse team more since they need more to go smoothly their way to win.

Monty has been publicly frustrated.

Distraction seems like one of those media words that now means something close to nothing in some cases.
