2013-14 Former Pistons Staff Member

We used to beg Josh not to shoot threes. Literally, guys would offer him cash not to shoot. Everyone but Drummond, who couldn’t say **** because of his free throws. Josh took over three attempts a game at 26 percent! Brandon was pissed all those misses were messing up his stats. Chauncey would beg him not shoot threes but Josh wouldn’t listen and I think that’s partially how Chauncey knew it was finally time to retire besides him being done three years ago.

So about J Smoove...there's no one who seriously wants this dude on our roster riiiight?

It is a bunch of supposedly redacted scouting reports

If legit, some of them are hilarious but it seems too good to be true

You know, the thought crossed my mind. But damn if it isn't realistic. Scary, actually.

Please don't take this to be a reliable news source.

Yes it's a gag article, but the fact that we even have to second guess... :lol:

Pretty well done, I was almost starting to think it was real until the "Game of Thrones" comment.

The comment about Chauncy sounds true though.

Satire but with some basis in facts/reality. I love it.

If SVG can't make Josh stop take long rang jumpers, no one can.

Stan had this problem before with Hedo Turkoglu.

But, Hedo usually would miss all night long, but in the 4th, he rarely missed.

i get what your saying, but that video ,other than the first 3 reaction, is more leading to that conclusion. If SVG was really that unhappy about it, wouldn't he just sub him out. and if the answer is no, then wouldn't that imply that Smith won't be pulled for jacking three's?
