I'm not a big Josh Smith guy. I really don't get it. Better than nothing I guess, but I'd rather take an old Gasol over him for a few years.
Over the next few years Love will become a quality defender. Not elite by any means, but good enough to not be a liability. Asik is and will be our primary post defender. If we want a situational weakside shotblocker that's a plus as an ISO defender, we can find one for our bench. The more rare commodity is a 6'10" PF that can run the court, shoot the 3, has a good post game, and rebounds at an elite level. What we really need is for a) Lin, Harden, and Parsons to improve individually as wing defenders (which they will), and b) to add a plus wing defender to our bench.
