Josh Smith Benched

You may be right, Josh, but we seem to somehow keep hearing all about these fights. SOMEbody's making it public.

Parson,
If something happens in front of players and assistant coaches,someone's going to talk.

I think Smith has tuned out Woodson as the only pro-coaching voice that he's ever heard. I thought he did that a long time ago though. Regardless of what Woodson tries I don't think he'll ever be the guy to reach Josh Smith.

I've always been a big Josh Smith fan, but his behavior has worn thin on me. He's probably at a low in trade value right now, but for his best interest he probably needs a new environment. One away from the trappings of his youth, one with a vocal team leader to help keep him in check, and one with a coach that might reach him. The thing is to get him into a situation like that he must practically be given away. I'm no longer opposed to moving him, but I'm not at the give him away point yet.

Or maybe he can still reach him? We'll see over the course of more than 1 game. If it does work then I wonder what took so long to have a confrontation. Wasn't the 0 rebound performance in LA just cause?
