    Trade story add: Dwight obviously Rockets' dream target but sources say they'll pursue Atlanta's Josh Smith (and others) if ORL won't budge

    I'm not as big of a Josh Smith fan as others here, but he would still be an improvement on our team and arguably better than anyone on our roster.

    If you can't get Dwight, then go ahead and give me Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala and I'll call it one hell of a day.

    I hope it's Josh Smith and someone else. I'm not completely sold on Smith as it is.

    I'd rather get him then Dwight, Smith has mentioned that we would like playing here.

    I'm not too high on Josh Smith. I hope we don't give up too much for him.

    Why are we playing our hand like this? i'd rather wake up and see that we already did it instead of waking up and seeing that we MIGHT do something.

    I love Smith's game, but not as a centerpiece of an offense which is what he would basically be here.

    Josh Smith is talented but just adding him to our existing squad is a first or second round playoff exit at most. I'd much rather take a promising rookie and see what you've got there.

    Tomorrow should be fun, though. Morey is clearly going all-in.

    at least Josh smith might actually want to be here. And he'd cost so much less. Which means we could actually use some of those picks to build a team.

    so basically if Rockets cant get Dwight they'll look to other moves

    this is journalism at its best from Marc Stein -- he doesnt sit on info the way SOME people around here do when it comes to the Rockets

    Josh Smith would certainly increase the athleticism of the team.
