Well, there you have it, answered your own question: Reynolds and Napear, Napear in particular, are the mouthpieces for the Maloofs. They're not going to say anything that the Maloofs don't want them to say.
I agree, and I can understand since they are employed by the Maloofs. Kinda like we wouldn't slam our boss if there was a chance that our boss would later find out what we said. Although it's probably better if they don't offer any opinions, just say something like, "I understand your feelings, but I really can't comment on this right now". I think that's the best answers....
I met Jerry Reynolds a couple of years ago, and while he may not be a great basketball announcer, he's one of the nicest and classiest guys I've ever met, and has a great sense of humor as well.
