They played him out of position at SF and his numbers took a dive. It's hard to say he'd rebound to previous form if given full time minutes at PF again. He used to jack up ill advised 3 pointers in Atlanta, too.
Clips doing digging as well. It would be a risk but then again, sometimes it's 'go big or go home.' Dave from BlazersEdge says there is always room for one 'crazy' guy if you have veteran leadership. Rodman, Captain Jack....there have been a number of teams that won titles with a guy on their roster with a screw loose. It all depends on if you have the coach and the leadership to get him in line and get production from obvious talent.
Yeah I would love him to make some easy shots in the first half. It usually coaches him to take ill advised shots all game
Dude. The number one reason Detroit sucked was because of Smith. He's been in the league 10 years and can't shoot. He's obviously past his prime. Do you really think Houston would benefit by ANOTHER God-awful FT shooter on their team? I wouldn't want him anywhere near our team. You yourself thought the Pistons had the talent to be good last year. Turns out they didn't because their "#1" option sucks.
And this forum would erupt when teams send Smith to the line. I mean they went bat shit crazy when T-rob was missing against Milwaukee
He is the same player Crash was when he played for us, I can't say I wouldn't be stoked to have that coming in off the bench
Vet minimum. I don't care if he has sucked. If he would sign for the vet minimum I would do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yup. Give him a bench energy role with him getting a lot of cuts to the basket (absolutely no ISO) and if it doesn't work out, oh well... Cut him.
But why would he settle for that when there's half a dozen other teams that will offer him a starting role? BNM
He considers himself a starter. He would destroy our team. Let Houston, Dallas, and LAC be desperate. We have the second best record in the NBA and are getting great production from our PFs.
We already have TRob to do that and he has chemistry with our team, knows his role, and knows the system.
Okay I know this is entirely hypothetical, but use realism here. Josh Smith won't come to Portland, even if Portland wanted him. He can't play SF and barely plays PF. Those are his only 2 positions, so Aldridge and Batum would only give him a max of like 10-15 minutes per game. Houston, Miami, and Sacramento will let him start. Houston has the most money to throw at him. It should be a pretty easy decision for him. Houston is the #1 front runner, then Sacramento and Miami
Nobody said we would be his first choice. He's probably going to Houston. But we can offer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
