Josh Smith

[texasholdem]

Wiretap says he might be available for a trade because they signed Horford to an extension and they want to shed salary

Josh Smith + Mike Bibby ($17,264,767)
for Aaron Brooks + Jordan Hill + Patrick Patterson + Shane Battier + first rounder? ($13,863,992)

yeah Smith is really a power forward but i can see a closing lineup of Bud, Smith, Scola, Lowry and Martin/Lee

hawks
f: williams, battier, evans
f: powell, hill, patterson
c: horford, pachulia, thomas, collins
g: brooks, teague

I'd do it if Battier and Jefferies were swapped.

Josh Smith cannot play the 3 anymore.
Furthermore a lineup with Josh Smith and Kyle Lowry would have no spacing whatsoever. You can get away with a center and one guy who can't know down open jumpers. Two guys plus a center and PF without three point range would be terrible.

[KiDdFrESh]

That may be true but I'd take his shotblocking, rebounding, and ability to run the floor and finish at the rim.

2. "iguodala" - no
3. former kings - no
4. former grizzlies - no
5. former knicks - no

no to josh smith

[zapatasblood]

No I don't think so and Bibby is old while Brooks is young and still growing. Also Josh can not play SF so I would rather have Marvin Williams for the SF spot. Not sure of how good of a defender he is though.

[College Boy]

I remember when they were calling Marvin Williams the next Michael Jordan.... ahh, sports pundits.

[bigbreakfast]

ugh... heck no! he would be a terrible fit for this team... its doubtful he picks up the houston offense and he has ability to space the floor at 3 and he costs wayyy too much for what he brings to the table...

having watched wayy mre hawks games than I care for I can tell you he's probably one of the most overrated (and overpaid) players in the league
