Poll: Where will Josh Smith land?

Postby Troubadour on Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:23 pm

Where do you think he'll land? What package will it take to get him?

Here's one idea:
Boston
Josh Smith

Atlanta
Eric Bledsoe
Lamar Odom

LA Clippers
Kevin Garnett

HOU sends: Asik + Delfino + Morris (perhaps patterson instead?)

Why? start preparing for the D12 sweepstakes by bringing his bff Smith into the fold. lin/harden/smith/howard in 13/14.

ATL sends: Smith + Zaza

Why? Pair up Horford, who would move to his natural pf position, with Asik.

Minnesota's apparently willing to part with several picks for established talent.

i doubt its for a FA to be pf like smith. kirilenko/love/pekovic got that locked up. the 1st two get paid very well and the latter is about to get paid well.

Wow, that actually makes a ton of sense. I voted for Brooklyn, but this offer would take the cake.

I voted Phoenix. Why? Because its utterly ridiculous. Somehow, any Josh Smith trade needs to meet that criteria.

In hindsight, a Milwaukee trade might have better balanced the absurd factor with a greater chance of actually occurring. Something using a '14 protected pick would be a nice way to shield against him (and Monta) leaving them with nothing, and overpaying for a rental.

I, personally, would do this in a heartbeat. I fear that HOU fans would not.

Here's one idea:
Boston
Josh Smith

Atlanta
Eric Bledsoe
Lamar Odom

LA Clippers
Kevin Garnett

Hawks don't need Bledsoe and don't want Odom. Besides, now that Garnett's a Center, we'd want him, instead.

Cut out the Clippers.

Garnett's not waiving his no trade clause for a trade to Atlanta. Odom was put in for the expiring. Deandre Jordan can go to Atlanta instead.

The only way a 2 way deal between Boston/Atlanta works is Pierce for Smith + Morrow.
