Anthony Parker
Vince Carter

Grant Hill
Amare Stoudemire

Josh Smith apparently hasn't been putting up the same numbers after the arrival of Bibby. Given that, IMO his blocks and steals numbers make him extremely attractive. Personally I'd do it because you get 2nd round talent for 1 semi-all-star and mere starters. Murphy's also gonna give you better 3s on top of similar rebounding to Lee.

flashflood's analysis is spot on. The only downside I see to this trade is percentages, Smoove and Murphy both do not shoot well from the field and Smith is a 70% FT shooter. Smith is the perfect player to acquire if you need steals and blocks apart from maybe Camby.
