He and Gasol were BPA for a long while. Some guys just tune Bill Simmons out. But he got it right on Smoove.Quote from: Bill SimmonsFact: For the past five years, he's been the best or second-best player for a team that went 228-166 and made the playoffs every year.Fact: Since 2008, Josh Smith has won more playoff series (three) than Chris Paul (two).Fact: In the last four seasons, Josh Smith averaged 17.0 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 3.9 assists and 3.2 stocks (steals + blocks) while shooting 47.5 percent and missing just 12 games total.Fact: In nine years, Josh Smith never missed more than 13 games in one season, and he's missed only 46 games total for his career. He's durable as hell.Fact: If you made a "Best Forwards in Basketball" list right now, LeBron and Durant would go first and second, obviously, followed by Carmelo Anthony, Paul George and Dirk Nowitzki. If Kevin Love is healthy, I'd have him sixth, followed by Blake Griffin seventh.8 You know who's eighth if you threw out salaries and just based this list on "What am I getting every night on both ends RIGHT NOW if I need a quality forward to play 36 minutes a night for me as my best or second-best player on a playoff team"? That's right, Josh Smith. You'd take him over Serge Ibaka, Anthony Davis and everyone else except mayyyyyyyybe David West.Who underrated?Both are PFs. I don't like them as a pair.

Best team no one is talking about... Golden State. Hibbert/ Millsap is kind of awesome. I noticed this in my analysis of how all the big bruising physical centers are out west or as I call it " Why Bosh/Smoove will own the east"

I noticed this in my analysis of how all the big bruising physical centers are out west or as I call it " Why Bosh/Smoove will own the east"As fwf said it's Hibbert/zbo. If it was Hibbert/Millsap (not sure where the love for that combo is ) it's a poor man's Duncan/ west
With pick 2.22, the Mile High City Nuggets selects.Rudy GayArgh, I don't know what I'm doing but it feels right, need someone who can defend and score in the wing department...
