    I agree that weed is relatively harmless, but I do have buddies who smoke every night and can't sleep without it. They could quit cold turkey without any major physiological side affects, but there is some sort of dependency after awhile.

    I smoke on occasion and think it's a harmless drug. All for medical and I think it's silly to lock up people for recreational use. But there is a dependency if you smoke often enough

    It's a purely mental one that comes with anything you get "addicted" to, such as gambling or TV marathons.

    how many centers we got already? last I checked, 3.... don't think that's our weakness. Unless you can get a rebounding and shot blocking machine.

    I agree with this, actually.

    But he's just not a shiny new toy for Clutchfans. We've already seen his flaws and limitations, so there aren't hot threads about him.

    I think he'd be perfect in this system and we know he can shoot the 3 respectably when he has confidence.

    Very streaky 3 point shooter, I'd prefer he take them only when wide open. Primarily I think he could be a great rim defender (for his price), and he could be a good roll man for lobs and finishes at the basket.

    I'm actually surprised we haven't heard more rumors about him floating around over the last few months, as we've learned 3 things about the team:
    1. Dwight really was the linchpin to all of our chemistry issues last year (Ty Lawson didn't help)
    2. This team is a home court contender
    3. This team has a major problem with rim protection

    It's weird, his contract with the Sichaun Blue Whales was over about a month ago. I'd expect him to get a minimum contract offer near or after the trade deadline.

    Didn't know that. I guess we'll hear something soon, if we're going to hear anything.

    Meanwhile, here are some intriguing articles on Smith.

    Larry Sanders, Josh Smith, Michael Beasley, Emeka Okafor are not walking through that door. :)

    He is connecting on 29% on 3pters attempting 7 or 8 3pt shots per game. In the Chinese league!

    His team might not make the playoffs...
