Besides seeing him active and working on his game, it's nice to see him working with a guy like Durant. The purpose of the workout seem to be working with against contact and drawing fouls, which is what we need Joe to do more of. This will end up being a good summer for Joe. May lead to him improving his game a lot more and keeping it strong longer..

Love it! Great to see him working with a real superstar.

looks like he's trimming down to 09-10 form
someone needs to tell Smith to do the same ASAP.

It would hurt my heart to have Johnson come in at top form stay healthy all season and Smith comes in 2011 laxadaisical form!

Just wasting talent year by year

Yes, Maybe these two guy will become good friend and want to play together. There game are compatable and Joe would be a perfect number 2 to durant.

Maybe Joe & Teague for Westbrook & Serge

Than we could package Serge, Al & a first for D Howard. Nice core!!!!

Serge and Al combined for 18 wins last year. Dwight's contributed 14 last year.

We'd be a weaker version of the Miami Heat, no spacing, big names, giving away draft picks,
meanwhile other teams are stacking up depth as we just get older.

i don't know why that guy in the red tshirt and the guy in the white tshirt are guarding Joe and KD. Joe and KD should be going up against each other and defending each other, so that they can practice shooting over guys with length.

Durrant should be guarding Joe with the guy in the red tshirt pretending to play help defense as a point guard. or at least have the two coaches use brooms so simulate some NBA length or the reach of a 7 foot center.

i would love to see both guys get some post moves like Steve Smith and that little Pippen bank shot.

Al is probably somewhere flexing in the mirror while Josh is eating a twinkie or getting dominated by bums

^ Josh was in a summer league and failed in an up tempo setting.
Said he was staying in shape.
I guess he still thinks he's a halfcourt player.

Kind of got dunked "over", didnt get lift or quickness to get in position for blocks or outrun guys (hard to do at center or PF)

He still doesn't think he regressed...

Help a Brother Out!

Keep up the good work, Joe!
Now send that Monster Truck to pick up Josh and bring him in on the action.

LOL!

+1 why dont these guys work out together?
Probably not feasible, Maybe they have to pay for it and/or
Josh would have to do different drills. He is more James Worthy than a true ball handler.

But I'd like to see him be in an advanced setting slimming up!

Joe trains and is built like a tank but his game doesn't incorporate any of this because it's all finesse. He needs to get into some bully ball especially as he's getting older and make defenders pay with their bodies for defending him.
