    A big man rotation is usually 3 players.

    Smith, Howard, & DMo makes having C backups in Dorsey & Black passable.

    The only other players worth using the BAE on is O'Neal & Blatche.

    lol

    Josh Smith? Wow and waived means they eat his contract? Damn.

    Dmo is better than Smith but Dreagic would be great too.

    Thanks for replying.

    It's ok to not want him, but smith has shown some skills in the nba. He wasn't terrible for his entire tenure in Atlanta. He had some rough times, but smith has shown some valuable skills in the league.

    As for your analogy, it's not unheard of for players to be bad fits in one place, and go to better situations and improve.

    It could blow up. But it's disengenious to act as if that's written in stone. It's a low risk signing. If it doesn't work out, cut your losses and move on.

    We don't eat his contract

    Detroit still pays him...we pay him roughly 2 mill a year

    Fans just like the guy and want to acquire him.

    Do you really not understand what went down?

    Just understand this: whatever team picks up JSmoove can walk away easily in a NewYorkMinute if the man is not worth the minimum to them. Is Bobby The Whatever right? Gimme a break. And gimme an inexpensive, motivated talent like Smith for absolutely nothing more than a disposable member of the 15-man roster.

    Bobby, relax...sometimes the level of talent around you can help elevate your game. This has been seen time and time again. If you believe that Howard and Harden can make players better around them...then you have to give a chance to a guy that is essentially a bargain deal and is clearly better than the two back up bigs in Dorsey and Black...who imho should be used exclusively for spot duty/or blow out situations...

    lol

    2 million a year we pay? A steal. One of the best defensive PF around. West would hate us a lot.

    I'd put Okafor ahead of O'Neal. Even if hurt (as JO'N is almost destined to be, even in Cubans' Midas-like hands).

    Expect Canaan and DMo to be included in the Dragic trade though...

    Howard/Wright/Black
    Smith/TJones
    Ariza/Brewer
    Harden/Jet/Shved
    Dragic/Bev/Shved

    If I'm morey, if the Suns are demanding dmo or no deal, I don't deal. If give up the pellies pick before I would dmo. Capela...I'd hate to give up Canaan but I'd do it. Jones....Pap smear.

    That's as far as I go.

    DMo has been so much less effective playing alongside DHo. This lineup would give us a solid post threat for our 2nd unit.

    Me likey :)

    Does Dorsey get simply waived to open a roster spot or is there a taker for his contract?
