And as team officials hovered in the background, one player said he would retire if Smith ever did that to him while another looked straight ahead as if he was trying to dodge the question. While yet another former player on the Heat avoided the question entirely and uttered a "no comment" before chuckling. So while Smith (and lots of fans) might find his antics amusing, Shane Battier, Chris Bosh and Tim Hardaway Sr., now a scout with the Heat, all seemed to wrestle with Smith's antics in an attempt to come up with a painless explanation for why Smith was fined $50,000 on Wednesday. Smith, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, was punished by the league for untying Shawn Marion's laces on Sunday and apparently trying to do the same to the Pistons Greg Monroe two days later while lined up on the free throw line.
