Re: Would anyone have preferred Josh Smith?
I'm liking Brand's ability and attitude so far this season. I don't believe Josh Smith is a headcase, but I also don't believe he'll be better than Brand in the next 3-4 years, if ever. Smith has energy and athleticism, but he has nowhere near the polish Brand has, either offensively or defensively.

Wow...I have to disagree with most of the posts on here. Since last year, I have been begging for JSmoove to come here. Granted he is not the skilled player EB is now but a much better fit for this team down the road.
The evidence is starting to show even though it is early. Can't run a half court still. Why? B/c teams are clamping down on Brand knowing that Iggy and everyone else is not consistent enough to hit shots from the outside.
This team is what it is and Ed went in the wrong direction getting Brand even though I don't blame him. Understand this, with Brand and Iggy tied up in $$$ we will not contend with this team unless Iggy and other young players miraculously play better or above their heads. I have said this last year and I still believe it.
