    I think that the Sixers are the only team that has enough cap room to absorb Smith's contract, and I can't see them using it on him.

    Damn, I bet he signs with a contender in the west on the cheap and makes them that much better... :sigh:

    Isn't Josh Smith and D12 best friends? I think they make a big push to get him

    They are tanking! :). I think they have first crack at him since they have one of the worst records

    Yeah, I think that's a likely spot for him.

    The guys love the city of Houston.... And I think he played AAU ball with Howard. He'll end up a Rocket!

    Well, if applying the one-chucklehead rule, is Smith not better than Claver? Or Leonard? Or Robinson? Or Crabbe?

    He is more talented than all of them, but he's not just one-chucklehead, he's like 30 chuckleheads

    I'd certainly think that Olshey and his crew are in full action mode this morning trying to gather info and make that call.

    I guess I hope that a contender DOES get him, and he shoots as much and as badly as he has been, and totally disrupts chemistry. (Provided, of course, that we aren't that contender.)

    Applying the "Subtraction by Addition" rule - no he is not.

    I would have been scared of his signing like 2 years ago, but Aldridge doesn't fear him any longer. Whatever Western Conference team that pulls a Dale Davis trade is asking for trouble.

    I really hope Houston doesn't get him. Hat would puss me off.

    If he clears waivers, he definitely will go to Houston
