    That's a great article. He seems like a humble guy given the amount of success(especially financially) he's had individually in the NBA. Sounds like he just wants to win though at this stage of his career.

    If you know Woj's history with Detroit management, this article has a deeper meaning. Very interesting to see him be critical of Dumars for once.

    I hope we can keep him for cheap. He's been great off the bench for us. I still want to see less of him bringing the ball up and initiating and more of him finishing in close. But on the balance he's been good.

    Lol now Murray owes woj a favor which will either be a trade the rockets/other teams are brewing or he wants insider info on what the league office is privately telling the teams

    I knew he worked out with Dream while he was on the Hawks, but I had no idea that Calvin helped him out too. I liked the read too. It would be great to see more progress from Smith.

    Part of the reason for that, is our lack of a consistent ball handler apart from James. I hope we can get another PG soon.

    Shouldnt he be a better free throw shooter if he worked out with Calvin Murphy? Lololol. Nah but that's awesome though, past few games he's played very well. Especially with Harden cooling off for a bit, great to see him stepping up!

    A 2 way street and Morey will be happy to oblige. And he should be.

    He better have a good game vs the Pistons tomorrow or else all the media pundits will be out spinning the same narrative against him.

    Just play under control, I hope he doesn't lose his head trying to prove anything.

    This is interesting. Not sure how it'd be possible, but I suppose it's good to hear.

    He's introverted as heck. Can you really blame him for taking the money that Detroit offered?

    He's like that quiet guy on the team that gets criticized because he barely talks. He just kind of take it all in and play ball.

    I know people are extremely pessimistic here about resigning Josh, but I took a positive out of this:
