    Same...I like his defense but he's a bonehead.

    Don't buy it.

    Smith isn't a Morey guy at all. The only way I see Smith coming here is alongside Dwight, since they are friends, in an attempt to appease him.

    Josh Smith use to work out at the Lifetime Fitness in Sugarland. He owns a unit at the Lofts on Post Oak (Galleria Area)

    Could be interesting. Smith doesn't take you over the top, but he's a nice piece to have.

    Also, Atlanta has a new GM, Danny Ferry, signed to a 6 year contract. Seems they could be looking to be aggressive in remaking the team (which has gone rather stale in the last few years).

    You guys don't know what Morey's next moves are. Stop pretending.

    Nobody says you stop making additions after you get Josh Smith. The Rocket can still have enough left (in terms of trade chips, talent and cap room) to add others (including Dwight even) if they don't overpay for Smith (who, like Dwight, has 1 year left and wants out, but is much less talented).

    I read somewhere that Josh Smith and Dwight Howard have been friends since high school days.

    I don't want Josh Smith. I don't think he's a franchise player. I either want a franchise player or I want to rebuild with draft picks.

    Are they using Josh Smith as leverage to keep the price down??

    I'd rather take a swing with a top-10 pick than Josh Smith. But I guess I can't complain if we trade Lowry for him(3rd coming in with a top-10 pick). I'm not sure that's much of a piece to contend though.
