Here's to hoping your other 3,035 posts were more well thought out than this one.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

Very well thought out and very worthy of a whole new thread. Before it gets locked I would just like to say you are a idiot.

You guys have to admit he has been pretty bad. Dinwiddie has looked better than him for the most part and he hasn't really been stretching the floor or anything.

Where Smith was concerned the money was already spent. Getting rid of him was just cutting losses.

Jackson is on a tryout and isn't signed beyond the end of the current season. So far, I'd say he's losing money every game.

However, thanks so much for your concern! There are some mean-spirited folks on these boards, but I can tell you're of a different stripe.

Lesson learned twice: never discard skill for athleticism.
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

Statistically, Smith as a Piston > Reggie as a Piston.

So I'm directly responding to this post in case your lack of intellect reflects your ability to remember writing this stupid post. The notification may joggle your memory.

First of all, they don't play the same position. Smith is a Power Forward. Jackson is a Point Guard. They are not the same player based on position.

Second, as much as I don't like RJ, he actually looks like he cares a lot more than Smith. Smith would walk to set screens. RJ looks to find guys like Dre for alley oops and other shots. Smith didn't do that. The only similarity they have is that they can't shoot. RJ doesn't get the minutes Smith did, and SVG sits him if he does something stupid.

Third, I really hope you're not this ignorant in the real world. If you are, I assume you don't have a good relationship with your boss, your parents, and any other important person in your life. Your join date says 2004 and your sig says you love Vanilla Ice. I'm again gonna assume that you are from the mid-late 70s, projecting your age to be around 35-40. If that is true, and you go around trolling basketball forums, I seriously suggest restructuring your lifestyle, because based off of this post your lack of intellect hasn't taken you far in life. It's a good thing retirement is only 20 or so years way for you eh?

Some mod decisions are hard.

This one? Not so much.
