^^^ terrible fit if true

Rumors are coming out about Josh Smith to the Warriors?

Sleeper agent for the rest of the NBA.

Edit:

17 & 13 from Dwight this season.

Back to elite defense. Him and Paul Milsap will wreak havoc on that end

Something about a Howard and Shroeder led team concerns me.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed on a four-year, $100M contract extension, league sources tell @TheVertical.

probably my favorite player in the league right now. It was a good deal for both sides. He's def a special player

Interesting Dwight thread on Reddit

He's speaking tongue in cheek, but he raises a great point about Dwight's conditioning. As his physique has deteriorated, so has his play. I wonder how intertwined the 2 are.

It's true and maybe he already started letting himself go. I'm not too sure but I mean as you get older you tend to care less and maybe Dwight wasnt hitting the weights like he did and his diet. His physique is still crazy but Orlando Dwight was

If ever there was an nba player on roids, it was magic dwight. I still don't even know how he hurt himself. Remember him saying he got punched in the back by al Harrington

How? If focues on his skills, hes a perfect option behind Draymond Green. Only diff is he isn't the best 3 point shooter.

 

[picasso swerve]

Hes not, yet he shoots a lot of em.

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Rudy to Cavs? Cheese galore. get rid of Iman

"Isn't the best 3pt shooter" is putting it lightly

Dude could easily be a cancer to a team if things are not going right

They said the same thing about JR until Lebron domesticated him

Josh smith is a pretty bad player with a bad attitude

Josh smith is a pretty bad player with a bad attitude

He helped the clippers have the best bench in the league last year tho

 

[HIM]

Good for giannis. Went from having to eat old food restaurants threw away in the dumpster as a rookie to signing 100 mil

 

[polosanddunks]

I'll never hate on Josh Smith after that Rockets Game 6 comeback embarrasing the Clippers in the WCSF

 

[leavemeglazzies]

That is true but based off last season and his career as a player in the NBA. Individually, he's far and wide a top 15 player. It's crazy how he didn't make the All-Star team. Even though he was injured.

He really isn't. Top 15 scorer? Most definitely. Top 10 scorer too. But the reality is that the guy doesn't do jack **** other than put the ball through the hoop, hence the Cavs not even coming close to making the playoffs in the Eastern Conference in any of the seasons with him as their leader prior to LeBron's return.

I'd take that $150 bet that won't happen

I need the nba back. That weak *** NFL thread isn't my cup of tea. How many days till opening night?

 

[a-friend]

THat NFL thread is bad.

I post something in there and won't return for years, unless someone @'s me or something.

 

[JD617]

That thread moves way too fast. No way I'm reading all that.

One of the NFL guys made fun of the NBA thread, like that mess is any better.

 

 

[northoaklandfc]

Come on now. Yall usually revel in this dirt with pride.

NBA threads have a reputation for being cesspools across ST for a reason yall can't be serious right now.

 

[JD617]

Don't get me wrong, I've complained plenty of times about the NBA thread over the past few years, especially when seaman, Mamba, and the Laker brigade were filling it with daily garbage, but I don't think the NFL thread is a whole lot better to be honest.

I lurk in the CFB one sometimes, that one seems decent.

 

[HIM]

Idk, man. I went into the nfl thread one day and it was 4 pages of wrestling gifs/references

The thread itself isn't too bady but it tends to get a lttle too circle jerky for my liking. This thread is a POS but at least we all hate each other equally Funniest thing I saw in the NFL thread was Antidope posting emojis and someone going at his neck immediately afterwards

The MLB thread is still the GOAT thread imo. It moves at a nice pace and there is very little trolling. CFB is really good. I admittedly don't follow it close enough to prtake in the conversation so i mostly lurk. Idk how some of those guys can be up to date with the #87 ranked high school Left Tackle in the state of Iowa. Way too amny schools/players for me too keep up. I apprecite the posts doe. It's basically my cheat sheet for following the season :
