I'm just so impressed with the balls of SVG.

Sounds weird, but w/e.

a very good first step towards making the pistons better. Couldnt get points off getting fouled, played mediocre defense, and would be best suited as a 6th man but his ego is far too large for that. Now if a team like the mavericks were to obtain him and some how get him into a role like that he could be somewhat useful playing 12 or so minutes a game.

He'd be great on a team like the Mavs or maybe the Rockets.

I kinda like Josh Smith. He's a goofy, nice guy. But he's awful.

My dream scenario would be the Lakers signing him. Him and Kobe would be hilarious.

EDIT: I forgot about the Rondo connection in Dallas.

Stretching a guy for 5 years making that much? That's a killer. Sorry, Pistons fans.

I want the Kings 4v5 thing to happen with Smith even more now. Not that I think it's gonna work, it would just be hilarious.

While thats the more fun way to look at it, their thinking is probably that they'll be paying the MLE to keep their incoming, very high, draft pick instead.

Jesus, has anyone seen the Kings' D-League team play (Reno Big Horns)?

It's comical--they play this run and gun, full court press style that you played before you really knew what you were doing in under 10s basketball. They're averaging 141 points per game, whilst keeping their opponents to a meager 140.

And this is what their owner wants to bring to the NBA. Holy shiitttt. Just watch:



(the Lakers D-League team won this game 175-152, IN REGULATION). Loool.

theres an interview here with one of the assistant coaches http://upsidemotor.com/2014/12/16/interview-reno-bighorns-assistant-coach-scott-schroeder-talks-the-system/

quite interesting for insane reasons

Jesus, was Smith's value really that bad they couldn't even swing him for a second rounder?

his value was negative, so they had to give up something to get rid of him

So we all like a Kobe and MJ comparison. Who you got in the GOAT sucking-for-a-season stakes:

* Wizards MJ
* This year's Kobe

I'm a huge MJ homer so I'm obv going with Kobe. There's really nothing positive to say about his play other than it's keeping the Lakers in play for that top 5 pick. I love how the common cry is "do you see who he has to play with?! Who else is going to get it done!?"

FYI: the Lakers are 22.3 points/100 poss better with Kobe on the bench this year. This is up there with the worst all-time seasons from an NBA player.

i would think kobe's season is historic in terms of suck. he's a blackhole on both ends of the floor.

MJ was always measured in his aggression and shot taking. kobe's 'confidence' is intentional tanking at this point.

You can argue about Kobe's play all day long but the fact is the Lakers are a lottery team with him on and off the court.

I think Kobe has this. He has been so bad on defense the past few years that he now grades as a below average defender for his entire career according to advanced stats I've seen lately.

Wizards MJ was still a fairly solid player with decent FG% that fit into his lesser role.

Kobe's FG% is far worse than Iversons even. Is he only doing turnaround fade aways or something? Even though Iverson was known for his impeccable shot selection he wasn't a terrible shooter. I guess you could argue he was considering a percentage of his more questionable shots.

see, this is all a clever ploy by kobe and the LAL office. all the talk about how they dont want to tank and shit? kobe is just secretly tanking (by shooting 35%) and no one even realizes it! everyone just says kobe is being kobe.

TP is back with a vengeance.

That's what I get for finally picking the Clipps to make the WCFs.

On the other hand, Hawks are doing well as predicted.
