    Is there any way we can get them both? Read on Rotoworld that they are good friends and Sacramento might be making a play for Smith, wouldn't cost much either according to the post.

    only 2 of the starters would space the floor
    smith makes 13.5M
    rondo around 12M

    simth doesnt fit with this team. rondo isnt a perfect fit but he'll still be all star like player. would've been swell if we got him for lin

    So one of the worst players in the NBA and a PG that would struggle to beat Dwight Howard in a FT contest.....do we really want either?

    Josh Smith may have spotty shot selection but he is far from one of the worst players in the NBA

    With Dwight, Josh Smith, and Rondo, we would be the worst free throw shooting team in history.

    Smith and Gay are going to kill each other.
    Horrible trade for the Kings.

    I disagree. He has probably the lowest BBIQ of any player in the NBA in the last decade and he's a cancer in the locker room. You can't have someone who shoots 3's about as well as Manute Bol who thinks he's Ray Allen who is a killer to team chemistry. There are tons of less talented players in the league, but none as terrible for a team as Josh Smith.

    Could be fun ... DH12 and Smith waiting for Rondo to miss the second free throw and one of them throws it down with a putback ... :grin:

    Seriously

    I know people think Smith isn't efficient, not a shooter, I get that. I don't know where people get off with saying things like "He's going to be out the league before the end of his contract" and "One of the worst player in the league". Really? A super athletic 28 year old, 6'9 PF who has a career average of 15.5 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal, and is one of the best defensive players in the league. This guy's career FG% is 46, that's not even that terrible. Josh Smith is an above average nba player.

    In all respect, this just a bunch of dumb opinionated statements. Josh Smith is an above average nba player. "Thinks he's ray allen" "The worst player for a team in the nba", pure BS opinions bro.

    Josh Smith would be a terrible here, sure he is an elite defender but he is by no means a stretch 4.

    Josh Smith among PF's this season (he had a bad season)

    3rd in steals

    4th in blocks

    10th in points

    4th in assist

    16th in rebounds (while being next to Drummond and Monroe who are rebounding monsters)

    But yes, by all means, a total garbage players, who thinks he's ray allen, and will be out of the league in a couple of years.

    This concerns me. Jennings May be our target, we could probably get him with just the tpe if Stan wants to rid the team of smith and Jennings. Bonus here is that he expires in time for durant and I believe that he is the end goal and harden is working on it.
