Pistons and houstons records since the josh smith move

Beas should be one of the best nikkas in the league. I think even KD mentioned that Beas was way better than him as a shorty, but like you said nikka only motivated to poppin E pills and smoking dope.

Nah, the problem for Beasley was that he was a physically dominant PF in College and when he got to the league reality set in and he had to play SF to be on the floor and he couldn't defend 3s to save his life.

He was never going to be very good in the NBA, too small to play the 4, not quick enough for the 3.

Beas is lazy, but i dont think Josh's problem is laziness. He just is a bonehead. He floats on the perimeter like he is Steve Kerr. Get your 6 ft 10 built like a tank ass down in the post. He just is hellbent on thinking he should be a long distance specialist. He has also lost a touch of his athleticism due to being in his 11th season and his game wont age well as he continues on that path

To be fair he had mike Woodson and larry drew enabling him to do that.. We were so bad they didn't even think about benching a young josh smith when that's what he needed. The downfall truly came after that 05 dunk contest when he said he wanted to be known as more than a dunker i was sitting there like

Youngest ever to 1000 blocks and in his prime was a top 3 posterizer and you wanna get away from that? Well heres the result

He could have been working on his defense and shyt like that in college,b ut like you said he was so dominant that the nikka never even tried to improve. I can tell that Beas was always the best nikka on the court growing up, so he never thought to improve on his flaws. I have no sympathy for that nikka. He should have went the MELO route, now he over in Smoggy ass China playing for Yao ming's team ( i wonder how much money that nikka got)

Bogut put him on timeout last night something awful

It's amazing that one player could be that toxic to a team.

I'll never deny the importance of team chemistry in basketball again brehs

How can someone who actually has shown both great athleticism and BBIQ be so damn bad?

This nikka was putting up numbers like 15pts, 8 rebs, 3 blks, 3 stls, 6 asts just 3 years ago. Ever since then, he been a bum.

This nikka and Beasley are the most players ever

They come from the derrick coleman school of giving no fukks once they make the league

There's no reason why Josh Smith shouldn't be a perennial all-star at this stage of his career (if we're talking solely based on talent).

I point to players like him when arguing how playing college ball benefits young players.

Eh, he's undersized for the 4 spot truthfully, he's talented but he's still a tweener.

Maybe if he played like Paul Millsap he could fully utilize his talent but he doesn't have that mindset, Paul will try to body whoever is guarding him while Josh seems to shy away from contact.

Let's talk about the fact that the Rockets gave up promising 23y/o rookie Tarik Black for the opportunity to pay 29 year old Josh Smith 4x the money.

Fell Off?? Dwight is the definition of an "era" player. The lack of big's is the reason he is even a footnote. he is the reason Houston wont win shyt.

Imagine a healthy/skilled Bynum with Harden
