No. Josh Smith doesn't fit on this team. He's better off on a team where he can free roam on offense and defense. He would be terrible in our offense.

You are wrong. No one is denying he gets steals and blocks. You're arguing he's going to surely improve just because he's 25. That's not a sure thing. The stats you posted show he's not declining, but also not improving. He's at a plateau, AKA peaked. He's got nothing more to build around offensively and defensively he's all athleticism, so that'll peak earlier than later.
ummmmmmmmm, do we really need another power forward with Scola on the roster? Josh Smith is NOT suited to play SF.
HOU: Melo (extend & trade) + Hinrich DEN: Hill + Donte Greene + Battier + both NY picks *Denver gets under the tax, reduce payroll by $13.3M, not including waived non-guaranteed contracts. WAS: Jeffries + Miller *Washington open up $3.248M more cap space SAC: Brooks + JR Smith Sign Magnum Rolle Hinrich, Lowry, Smith Martin, Lee, (Budinger) Melo, Budinger, (Rolle) Scola, Hayes, 2Pat Yao, Ericka, Rolle - Nuggets hold two non-guaranteed contracts in Ely & Forbes. - Those NY picks become more valuable with Parker staying in SA and Melo not heading to the Knicks in free agency. - If the Kings are really interested in Brooks. He's trade sweetener for the Nuggets to dump JR Smith.
Sorry, Houston Trades: Brooks, Battier, Jeffries, Hill, Taylor, NY Picks Houston Receives: Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, Maurice Williams
