Josh Smith to Charlotte Hornets 

Post#1 » by Shock Defeat » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:45 am

Josh Smith
for
Bismack Biyombo
Gerald Henderson

Detroit tries to get Ben Wallace redux. Henderson provides needed guard play.

Jordan tries to make a splash by adding a potent front court player to start a "big 3". They also get better defensively.

no f***ing way we trade Bismack for this. I don't even want Smith either, as Clifford likes stretch 4s and would probably make Smith one.

I would love it but Smith would probably just wreck what Charlotte has going for them right now. Smith needs to go somewhere like NY where he knows he will never be a #1 option and that it will never be his team as long as Melos around. He could contribute in a lot of ways if he could just understand that's Hes nothing more than a super role player, if that's even a term.

chemistry is one of Charlotte's strengths, Smith would destroy that.

If Smith could play McBob's role by being a stretch 4 with smart passing, Detroit wouldn't trade him.

They will trade him, because he can't.

Smith would be addition by subtraction for Detroit. The key is finding a team that considers him an addition by addition. I think he messes with what Charlotte has.

No from Charlotte. We are not helping you out of your mistakes and hurting the value of the pick you owe us.

JSmoove would be horrific in Charlotte.
I think the former hornets would be a better landing spot with Anderson spacing the floor.
