Poor Mavs fans with DSJ jerseys...

Interesting line in there about him saying the 40 minutes he got last night for NY was "probably the most I've ever played". He's mentioned his minutes a lot recently. It's clear he did not like splitting minutes with JJB. He wants to play 40 minutes and dominate the ball and jack up 25 shots per game and he's salty we didn't let him do that. I'm so so glad we were able to sell high on him to land KP. Sheesh.

No doubt! He could have still won NY fans over without his childish attempt to trash the Mavs. I'm so glad he is gone after hearing and reading all of his quotes. So incredibly immature... even for a 20 year old.

Yes and now you can go back to the scouting reports, claiming he choosed a small college over a bigger one so he can dominate the ball and jack up shots...

sefant77 · 02-06-2019, 03:28 PM

There wont be time for that because Irving signs in july and they ship his ass out because Frank is a better fit.

SMC0007 · 02-06-2019, 03:34 PM

All his talk about how bad he wishes he could play us. He could score 25pts and shoot a piss poor % with 5 TO's in a double digit loss and think he showed the Mavs why we shouldn't have traded him.

I hope Luka embarrasses his ass when they meet. Too bad DSJ isn't playing in the USA vs World game.

Next season no one in Dallas will care about him anymore...

God that dude...

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-06-2019, 04:18 PM

He said "the reasons are out there" for why he went AWOL, but does anyone actually know what the reasons are?

Berman from the NYP flew out to Dallas to annoy KP if he demanded the trade blabla but of course he didnt ask the same question to DSJ

The reasons are probably that he got butthurt that the Mavs had trade talks about him.

sefant77 · 02-06-2019, 04:32 PM

And i have to give here huge respect to the FO...and to Rick. How they played it when he went awol...not calling him out, biting their tongue (specially Rick) because his trade value was pretty much trashed and then they turned it around into KP

sefant77 · 02-08-2019, 09:39 PM

Drummond and reggie Jackson are some of the most braindead player in the league, so probably they fouled a lot...

sefant77 · 02-08-2019, 10:23 PM

Just saw, Reggie Jackson (season 40 FG%) was 8-14 with zero FT for 20 points, 6 assist, 1 TO.

Guess DSJ stopped caring about defense like in college

Knicks are tanking.....I don’t think they care about anything at this point. Other than Zion lol.

sefant77 · 02-13-2019, 08:50 PM

Knicks (lost 17 in a row) getting trashed by the Sixers. Knox dunks on Simmons and DSJ has nothing better to do than to run to Simmons (still laying) to taunt him

Every day im more glad he is gone

How Dennis Smith Gets to the Next Level

Fizdale to Smith: "You need to get in a lot better condition."

Smith: "I can be in a lot better shape for sure."

Basically he's acknowledging that he never worked hard enough in Dallas.

Should make Mavs fans appreciate the trade more every day.

Def call BS on that one. Look at the videos of him training this past summer. He was doing some hard core push up drills that would make Rocky proud.

Making shit up just to feel better about the trade is pointless and silly. Smith might be out of shape do to time off the team, but he certainly hasn't remotely looked out of shape for the season.

So his current (new) coach's assessment of his level of conditioning is BS?

Is Smith lying when he agrees?

Conditioning should be the easiest thing for a young 19, 20, 21-year old player to maintain. What's obvious is that he was coasting on raw athletic ability, and not doing enough to improve his conditioning or his skills.

Because if he wasn't working on his conditioning, you can bet that he wasn't working on the long ball either.

Starting to hope that the Nix get Kyrie (or Walker) so Smith can dribble off to Charlotte or wherever.

Murphy3 · 02-20-2019, 01:05 PM

I don't really care what he does...don't dislike DSJ..he's just a mediocre draft pick that helped land KP.. I guess I'm thankful that he did what he did..otherwise the Mavs wouldn't be in this position. So no hard feelings at all.

sefant77 · 02-20-2019, 01:58 PM

Yeah, every time he opens his mouth he digs himself a little deeper.

Murphy3 · 02-20-2019, 04:56 PM

But really..where would the Mavs be if he hadn't opened his mouth to begin with? They'd probably be looking at a #7-#10 pick in a not so deep draft (a pick that they'd convey to Atlanta) with free agents probably not having nearly as much interest. So thank you DSJ...

Agree. Thank you DSJ. Good riddance.

Slangers gotta slang.

@247Sports: NC State has been charged with four NCAA violations, some of which are related to the recruitment of former NBA lottery pick Dennis Smith Jr. Two of the penalties are Level I violations, the most serious of NCAA violations: https://247sports.com/college/north-...-Jr-133568889/

I think his dad is a complete idiot and gives him terrible advice.

Is there a single NBA player that you don’t judge on a personal level with insults? Incredibly tiresome

Welcome to sports fandom. If you can't take it, please click here.

sefant77 · 07-10-2019, 06:44 PM

No, i do it just with the idiots.

First the NCAA stuff, then Rick told that he thinks that someone in his inner circle told DSJ to stay away from the team. Yeah it sounds like his dad wants the biggest money grabs possible. Him and Luka were friends but probably it was his dad in his ear that he wont get that huge payday after his rookie deal if he plays offguard in Lukas shadow and that he should force a trade.

NeedlesKane · 08-02-2019, 09:55 PM

I gotta say that I have more respect for Dennis Smith, Jr. after the recently published article. I like how he still keeps in touch with his old teammates and has no hard feelings at all about the trade. I think that this shows that given the right circumstances he wouldn't mind wearing a Mavs uniform again. Not at all. Right now is not the right time imho, but maybe sometime in the future we'll entertain the idea. Even if we don't, I feel like he's handling everything the best way that he can.

And on this episode of MTV’s True Life I was a millionaire and now I’m bankrupt.. I watched an IG video of Eddie Jackson (NFL) making it rain at the strip club. Amazing that these kids get paid millions and they literally throw it away. Hope they invested some of it!

What a douche. That lil guy is going to be broke in 10 years. His next contract will be an eye opener.

Overreaction. Millionaires go to strip clubs, and billionaires groom sex slaves. DSJ is no more a douche than the long line of young NBA players with money before him.

Because others are douches, doesnt make him less of one. He has been on track to be one since he was drafted.

We need to remember that plenty of nice sweet white collar guys on Wall Street have blown their millions on cocaine, hookers, trophy wives etc. Only difference is they have very little innate talent vs. NBA players.

EricaLubarsky · 09-02-2021, 05:58 PM

DSJ got a non-guaranteed camp invite from Blazers.

He's improving, but is stuck in that limbo between being a prospect and being an NBA player and with four years under his belt, he no longer qualifies for a two-way deal.

We'll see if he can turn that training camp spot into a vet min deal or if this is his last stop in the league.

BPo001 · 09-02-2021, 07:12 PM

I hope it works out for him. It’s crazy how far he has fallen off since we traded him.
