Y'all don't freak out when he uses Fayetteville in his starting lineup bio instead of State.

3/7/2017 10:09:25 PM

Is his new brand going to feature "the dunk" vs Duke?

3/29/2017 12:09:19 PM

^^nah man, he's proud to admit he's been a life-long state fan, which says a lot for someone his age

3/29/2017 12:21:20 PM

If he could have gone pro out of HS he would have. He figured if he is gonna have to play one year why not play for the team he grew up a fan of. Wish the season had gone a little better for him but it is what it is.

For fucks sake. And we knew this from his Alabama years and still hired him. Thanks Debbie.

"While NC State made two Sweet 16s under Gottfried, they did it as an 11-seed and an 8-seed, which tells you he wasn’t doing much with that talent in the regular season. "

Shots fired.

^^ i mean....nobody else would take the job. the way that search was going, we could've done a lot worse than Gott in the end.

5/12/2017 7:53:16 AM

^yep

shit's over, move on to the new coach

"Those numbers aren’t hard to believe when you see the effort level that Smith put in on defense. To be charitable, he wasn’t in Raleigh to lock anyone up. In this sequence, Smith strolls around the middle of the lane for a few seconds rather than go after the defensive board. This is the kind of play that will cause his NBA coaches to consider benching him, if not outright skewering him:"

that wasn't for lack of effort, he was just trying to fit into the culture here! I mean, any of these guys could decide to play ACC defense but that just wouldn't have been the program culture under Gottfried.

5/12/2017 9:28:54 AM

So where does everyone think he's going? Knicks?

6/21/2017 6:17:13 PM

Magic

But the Knicks would be unsurprising because they're so dysfunctional. I mean they're actively trying to trade one of the best young players in the league because Phil Jackson is an idiot.

6/21/2017 6:58:07 PM

Apparently he overslept and missed a big media thing today

State/Gott getting shit on every time Smith is in the convo

6/21/2017 11:41:53 PM

I'd say the hate is 98% Gott

6/22/2017 1:54:27 AM

^^like you shitting on him about some "apparently" stuff

[Edited on June 22, 2017 at 1:54 AM. Reason : .]

where's your link to him missing a "big media thing"

6/22/2017 9:56:46 AM

6/22/2017 10:13:26 AM

So he skipped the morning session and went to afternoon?

Jeff Goodman is a troll and annoying but I don't think we've caught him outright lying

6/22/2017 10:19:34 AM

teams routinely leak bullshit to the media to try and get guys to fall to them, in drafts of all sports

forgive me for not putting a lot of stock in a tweet citing tv hearsay

[Edited on June 22, 2017 at 10:21 AM. Reason : .]

6/22/2017 10:20:15 AM

Does Goodman work for the Knicks now?

Another easy explanation is that he could have also easily just been super late

6/22/2017 10:22:03 AM

No he didn't. That is good ol Jeff Goodman stirring up shit. Adam Zagoria tweeted pics of Dennis at the media meeting on-time.

[Edited on June 22, 2017 at 10:25 AM. Reason : I was too late in posting this but see above]

6/22/2017 10:23:52 AM

^^because goodman is a good reporter who only reports things he personally verifies and never reports on leaks that teams give him?

[Edited on June 22, 2017 at 10:24 AM. Reason : .]

6/22/2017 10:24:11 AM

Zagorias pics said Smith was on time??


Why would teams be leaking stuff about a MEDIA session?

Seems like the easy conclusion is he was late

Excited to watch him play in the NBA. Heard he had a 48" vertical in one of his workouts.

maybe because they want his draft position to fall

6/22/2017 10:55:04 AM

But teams weren't there?

Goodmam was?

Also i believe there was an ESPN exclusive session in the morning, that appears to be the one that was missed/claimed to be missed

6/22/2017 11:11:53 AM

6/22/2017 8:41:22 PM

Mark told Mark this is a package deal

6/22/2017 8:56:33 PM

He can start from day one. His team after Dirk retires. Needs some help though.

How were we ever as bad as we were with him on the team.

7/13/2017 10:36:44 PM

That team gave up.

7/13/2017 11:08:54 PM

DSJ is getting so much positive press. They spent 10 minutes last night reacting to a dunk he didn't even finish. (It was pretty amazing honestly).

7/14/2017 8:38:29 AM

^ agreed, then SC did a comparison of players doing good in the summer league and had 5/6 players on there and he wasn't one of them. Most had less impressive stats than DJS

He lead his team last night in points, rebounds, assists (& TO's)

7/14/2017 10:39:10 AM

dude's an absolute beast.

real shame last year was a such a shit show

7/14/2017 11:17:27 AM

real shame he played for a shit coach.

7/14/2017 11:25:29 AM

yeah i think we all agree on that

7/14/2017 11:53:13 AM

wait, is it acceptable to talk shit about Gottfried on TWW now?

7/14/2017 7:03:51 PM

I wonder what's gonna happen when he tries to do that shit against the likes of Draymond Green.

7/15/2017 4:44:24 AM

Glad he is finally getting the attention he deserves. You really have to get out of NC State. Russell was smart.

He'll get kicked in the nuts?

I LoL'd

7/15/2017 7:44:04 PM

^^^ ehh. He got plenty of attention here. It faded once we were so terrible this year. But he was far from being under the radar.

7/15/2017 9:43:33 PM

Once again the story is that you can't blame Dennis Smith because he is doing everything by himself but did you ever stop to wonder if that is why his teams are bad? I'm not saying, but its hard not to bring it up in a game against a pg who makes everyone around him so much better.

7/16/2017 9:04:46 PM

summer league is serious business

7/16/2017 10:14:48 PM

Dsj sucks. Hype train on this kid is so out of control because he gets highlight dunks
