    Yeah, but it's one thing to play with an attitude and quite another to have one. I mean I've seen Josh Smith quit during games ....Oh, he's loaded with talent and an analogy could be made using Randolph, but it's an unnecessary risk for us at this point. And he's going to eat up salary cap for future moves. I understand the potential upside, but can't reconcile it with the other.

    I'd be for it if Scola is involved.

    That seems like something they definitely wouldn't be interested in, though.

    This kind of reminds me of the Carmelo saga, except Josh isn't as good as Carmelo. Maybe he's using us as a bargaining chip like 'Melo did. I'd still like to see him in a Rockets uniform though.

    They are saying on the REALGM forums that he's going to Orlando for Jameer and Ryan anderson + others...

    If true what a bad trade for the Hawks and a meh trade for Orlando.

    The rumor now is it is a 3 team deal.

    Dallas: Marvin Williams
    Orlando: Josh Smith, Hinrich
    Atl: Beaubois, Nelson, Haywood, Daniel Orton, Ryan Anderson

    Any team, starting Chuck Hayes as Center
    does not have a championship starting lineup. Y:p

    As long as they don't trade Kmart it's all good.

    having that kevin martin on this team would not be so bad at all if we had smith on this team. i am not a fan of matin's game, but i can see him and j smith playing great together. martin's game could be deadly next to smith's defense. :eek:

    Haywood's contract is atrocious.

    I recall Calvin Murphy stating he works with Josh Smith over the summer a couple of years ago.;)

    A pretty bad point at that. There's a difference between having an edge and having a bad attitude. A bad attitude could just cripple the team as far as mentality and wins. More importantly, the team would be hurt financially, and I don't think it would be worth it.
