    causation. Josh playing PF means Monroe or Drummond was not on the court.

    I think "loser" every time Dwight sets a pick.

    He's right, stop being a homer. signing Josh Smith was one of Morey's worst decisions

    He's right going by simple statistics. Convince me on how he's be a detriment to the team and I can agree with you.

    Some many factors you're obviously glossing over except the "simple" narrative that he's actually made the team worse.

    I'll give it another to games but if a $2 mil writeoff is one of Morey's worst decisions the dude is doing okay.

    Some idiot was making fun of Stan Van Gundy earlier this season:

    Serious question:

    How well would the Lakers do with Stan Van Gundy as their head coach?

    Not that he would have taken the Lakers job-- SVG was choosing between having full control in DET with a potential franchise talent in Drummond and an offer from GSW. Lakers can't really compete.

    J Smith was playing a role similar to the Drummond/Monroe... just didn't work. Wasn't a Stan Van Gundy type of player/guy.

    With the Lakers, it all boils down to the coach's ability to control or contain blek member or not. Not sure if SVG will be able to do that. They'll definitely butt heads. kirby ruins everything.

    Let's just admit: Josh Smith is a bad player.

    If a bottom feeder goes on a run like this by trading just a player, he must have really sucked everything out of a team.
