Wow.....


I'm believing Kleinman more than this article.

Kleinman said the entire NBA landscape has changed when Durant suffered his injury.

Kemba actually works hard.


what gives you the impression that DSJ doesn't? just because he doesn't post every workout on IG?

Yeah Rick Carlisle always talked about how he’s a hard worker. I’ve seen him say that a bunch of times. Dude is a gym rat.

Plus here’s DSJ talking about his gym routine last year.
Smith said he’s going to work on “being a better player, being a better leader, teammate, being the best Dennis Smith I can be.” He added that his unusual late night practice sessions — where he was busy honing his skills and trying to get a leg up on the competition — are simply a part of his DNA dating back to his high school days in Fayetteville, N.C.

“Sometimes I (practiced) after a game, sometimes I just go until about 2-3 in the morning just putting work in,” Smith said. “It’s just something that I do.

“I did it when I was in college (at North Carolina State), I did it when I was in high school whenever they let me get into the gym back at home. It’s something that got me here (to the NBA) since I’ve been doing this since high school.

Honestly I was surprised when the camera cut to LeBron before the Knicks/Pelicans game eating popcorn and Twizzlers.

Obviously they have cheat days but it surprised me someone like LeBron eating that. :lol:

I wouldn’t trade Knox straight up for Beal. Knox can be better and I believe in him.

There’s def some stuff to believe in, but you’re setting a real high bar for him.

Beal last year, his age 25 season, where he led the league in MPG (36.9) and played all 82 games:

25.6 PPG 5.0 RPG 5.5 APG 1.5 SPG 0.7 BPG
48% FG 35% 3PT 81% FT 54% EFG 58% TS

Let’s hope you’re right

Not to mention his defense is decent.

As opposed to Knox's complete negative on defense.

IT's simply a super homeristic view to say you wouldn't trade Knox for Beal. Literally anyone else in the league would do this trade and not thing twice.

Hate to be the one to say it but white players do not typically attract free agents. Dallas should target international players.

And just wait until Janis demands a trade in 2-3 years.

I'm so happy free agency is pretty much over! Now we can all stop neglecting everyone in our lives until Training Camp.
