    Josh shooting more means Ariza shoot less, which about the same but a bit more exciting

    I voted yes just because we got him for peanuts, but I don't think this trade solves the major issues we have.

    When Smith shoots that 3, it's like that feeling of nervous breakdown and you get so pissed, but then when it goes in, you have what refreshing ice cold feeling like when cold gatorade goes down your throat and esophagus after a much needed/great workout/run/pickup game of basketball.

    It's an upgrade at PF over Jones and Harrell and Smith comes in day one as the best defensive PF on the roster that is healthy and one of the best overall defenders on the team.

    Same here. I think what will happen is that there will be more stupid threes being jacked up early in the shotclock. We will still be crap on D.

    The only benefit it to see if Smith and Lawson can get some chemistry going.

    I don't think anybody really understands what is going on this year. Everybody seems to have regressed in their specific roles and Lawson adds a black hole in the starting lineup on defense.

    Something tells me Smith would have regressed too. If Rivers wasn't using him in the lineup even with Blake down, you have to be concerned.

    JSMOOOVE

    Seriously makes all the difference in the world in our offense. When you are going to roll without a real offensive system, the next best thing is to have JSMOOOVE maximizing our chaos.

    He is simply ridiculous, can handle, pass, block shots, actually set picks, and just cause havoc. I was soooo disappointed that he left last summer, I really felt like we screwed it up by not making him a priority (of course until we got Lawson, but now we have BOTH). Love it, welcome home JSMOOVE

    It makes no sense why he fits so well, but he fits so well.

    Those passes!

    Doc doesn't know how to use Josh. Josh will miss a couple shots then get yanked. The shooting is not the only thing that Josh brings. Smoove absolutely putrid from the field agasint the bucks yet we all think he was 1b to Harden's 1A tonight.
