    What would your reaction be if Morey offered a max to Smith to steal him away from Atlanta?

    Yes I know, but I doubt Atlanta would be happy to let him go. It'd have to be a max deal.

    I don't think we will try to steal him with a money offer. I predict Rockets are working a trade for Josh Smith right now with all of our four prospects.

    .... and I do not see us signing him for the MAX. Harden, yes. Smith, no.

    I feel like Jones can develop into being as good, Smith isn't in the same talent stratosphere as Harden and I already feel Harden is slightly iffy for max.

    So no I don't really want him for max.

    I think you underrate Smith's defense. He is one of the FEW PF's that can affect a game offensively and defensively.

    Imagine playing pick and roll offense against Asik, Smith, Parsons (yes, I am considering Lin, but usually it's the bigs that gets exposed on a PNR)

    Giving Josh Smith a 4 year contract from age 27-30 would be a serious opportunity.

    Depends on how Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas, Royce White, and Marcus Morris develop.

    Would be difficult to get him as Atlanta will offer more.

    Josh Smith and max don't even belong in the same sentence.

    He would be a massive upgrade for us at the PF position. J-Smoove is one of the better defenders in the league. He could compliment Asik like a sock and a shoe. Our frount court defense will probably be on par with OKC in Perkins and Ibaka. Paint proctiion would be A+++.

    He can put up points as well. Would be a good option next to Lin and Harden with the pick n roll. Plus he can run up and down the court too which is what we are looking to do.
