    This is just mean. Someone changed his Wikipedia profile image to this:

    Otis Smith is garbage, but SVG should have no problem finding a job. I think he'd be a good fit for the Kings or the Bobcats.

    I'd rather see Stan take a year off and join Jeff in the broadcast booth :p

    Otis Smith is awful.

    Traded Shard for other mega-priced no-talents in a bid to keep Dwight. Another example of a franchise throwing money at their problems and coming up with:

    jack
    squat

    yea otis sucks...the worst contract i have ever witnessed is rashard lewis. Even in his prime he wasn't a max contract as in he wasn't even a tease, you knew he was at best a 2nd/3rd option who is fairly one dimensional and even not particularly special

    About time they got both them out of there! They were going nowhere with both of them.

    Why would Hollinger tweet this:

    Portland fans??

    Hollinger watches a lot of Hawks and Blazers. Goes to home games for each team quite a lot. Also likes Stan, obviously.

    Otis Smith felt he could not continue on without SVG as coach.

    Interesting. SVG could do well with the Portland team.

    A franchise tag would have solved this problem. It's pure fantasy, I know, but I'd love to see Diva Dwight traded to Utah just to spite him.

    Don't forget Spoelstra. Cause once the Heat lose out again for a 'ship, he and Bosh are out.

    And why should Howard be forced to play for a crap team? I'm iffy about the Van Gundy firing, but Smith was basically CD level for a GM.

    smart move if they think there is a small chance of him staying in Orlando..

    managers and coaches can be replaced easily nowadays, great centers; not so.
