They're having a lover's quarrel, leave them be.

In other news...

Smith wants Arenas, who weighs about 225 pounds, to lose 10 to 15 pounds this summer. And he wants Arenas to continue strengthening his injured knee. Smith called both of those goals a “non-issue” and something he has no worries about.

What Smith does worry about, however, is Arenas playing basketball too much.

“The thing I have to fight with him on a daily basis is the the guys who are basketball players, that love to play basketball, like to play basketball all the time, year-round. And he’s one of those guys,” Smith said. “He’s a gym rat. That’s counter-productive for him. He actually has to play little to no basketball up until September and then he can pick up a ball and start shooting. Guys who are that skilled get those things back.”

Awesome.

Thanks for the effort, Gilbert.

Good lord.

Even his post moves are exactly identical to Rashard's.

Pistons Interview Pat Ewing for Head Coaching Gig

The Detroit Pistons have expanded their head coaching search by interviewing Orlando Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing, according to league sources.

Ewing, 49, has long desired to be a head coach, and has decried what he viewed as pigeonholing him as a “big man” assistant, a role he has undertaken while an assistant coach in Houston with Yao Ming and in Orlando with Dwight Howard. Ewing has said that he does a lot more than just work with bigs and is ready to run a team. He badly wanted to get a shot with the Knicks, the team for whom he became a superstar after being taken first overall in the 1985 Draft.

“It’s disappointing that I haven’t moved to the next step to getting a head coaching job, but all I can do is keep working hard and keep on preparing myself for whenever that opportunity arises,” Ewing told the New York Daily News earlier this month. ”A lot of people try to pigeonhole me into just a big man’s coach and I’m just not a big man’s coach. I’m a coach.”

Good, hire his ass...dudes been holding Dwight back for years now. Keeps telling Dwight to focus more on his post moves instead of developing a mid-range jumper. Dwight is strong enough to dominate when he gets in the paint...if he is able to develop a consistent jumper he will destroy the NBA for years to come.

Weird. Ewing had a really nice midrange J in his arsenal.

Well, he really developed it when his knees began to give out, but still...why not have Dwight work on his touch?

Dwight has always been criticized for his lack of moves in the paint..he'd just overpower guys and dunk.

Which, in reality, is fine with me. Dwight has scored nearly 23+ PPG doing that alone.

He needs to develop a mid range game to bring his game to a whole new level.
