    I'm all for people being confident in their abilities, but maybe if you didn't suck as a PG....

    Isn't Smith really an SG in a PG sized body?

    Why not make him backup SG and see if he can't recapture some of what made him an all-American at Duke?

    Nolan Smith is not thread worthy.

    Smith's highest upside would be a Jason terry type combo guard. He needs confidence

    He just needs to improve his shooting, dribbling, and passing.


    And his defense.

    Smith is lucky to even be on the team right now. Reading between the lines of what Olsey(sp?) said after the Maynor trade, I would imagine that Olsey wanted to cut Smith to create the roster spot.

    I would bet there are still some indiviuals in the orgionazation who still believe in Smith (after all, they are the ones who drafted him). Olsey knows that the choice between Smith & Price will not make a difference. Neither one would be on the team next year anyhow...

    You're right. But I'm talking about a comment he made about the fact the Blazers traded for a player.

    So...#failonyou!

    I'm a patient man. I'll wait to see how Nolan does backing up Matthews. Then I'll call for his head. ;)

    Because he sucks at SG as much as he does at PG? I don't understand this idea that Smith is a good basketball player at SG. He's fucking terrible. At everything.

    I wish the best for Nolan, he's a good kid. I hope he makes it really good with his next team.

    I can't believe Nolan is getting dissed like this. I mean, the guy has had a huge impact on the basketball culture here.

    He's already inspired nicknames like "The Towel", "Tank Smith", "Plan C", and "The Human Trap Drill".

    What a legend.

    That's what he is going to say when he's trying to magic up a second contract.

    Where/when did he say he was surprised? I hate inaccurate thread titles.
