Paul flops even when he's talking to his teammates.

Impressive.

He's the most accurate example of a basketball terrorist. He plays ISISball instead of ISOball.

I can't believe people defended Josh Smith to the dying breath. This is why he was a cancer and why I laugh at people who impose textbook false equivalencies with Smith and somehow KCP.

Thank god I'm not running the Pistons. My thoughts as a "Monday Morning" GM looking at Danny Greens and DeMarre Carrols numbers this season and last.

LMFAO. Just seen a interview with Klay. Idk what the question was, he just tipped up a bottle of beer and drank it casually. I found it funny.

Yeah...we were heavily interested in both but they chose to sign elsewhere. We can thank the stars for that one. Plus, we wouldn't have gotten Tobias if we got Caroll, and I'd much rather have Tobias any day.

Who would you rather have James Harden or Russel Westbrook?

Hard choice, but I'd go with Westbrook.

I don't necessarily remember anybody "defending" him until the end. I recall saying he was a better fit at PF next to Drummond than Monroe and I still say if he played to his capabilities on both ends he was nearly an ideal fit.

Yeah...too bad Josh was a blockhead though. The man just loves his jumpers.

I have no idea why.

Same thing with Sheed, had post moves, launched jumpers all day.

They were also tall, so. Sheed did so many other things on the court/off the court, that Josh Smith didn't have any clue about.

Come on man. Sheed shot them at a .350 clip with us, Josh shot them at a .254 clip. Sheed had a way higher i.q on both ends. Not even close. Pistons with Smith were terrible, Smith is terrible, especially being a 1-3 option, yuck. He will always want to be a 1-3 option as long as he's on the courty.

Josh Smith still doesn't have a clue. Sheed can teach younger players, Smith can, but not good.

I think theres a clip of Josh Smith in this thread from a game he played in China and he looks awful in some of the clips.

Again? New Orleans actually has some decent talent and depth at guard now, especially with Holiday back, but damn. Goodwin getting waived again so soon isn't a good look for him. I still wouldn't mind the Pistons moving on from Hilliard or Gbinije to take a flyer on Archie but I really don't think that's very likely either.
