    Looks like he signed with Houston. The West is downright scary after Dallas and Houston add two All-Stars. Not much separates 1-8 (once OKC regains it) and a case could be made for each winning it all.

    Really? Why not start him at the 4? It's his best position and the weak spot in their starting line up.

    Has Smith ever been an All Star?

    Two different strategies between teams like the Spurs and the a Blazers and the one Moreys is using in Houston. I can't ever remember that strategy ever working.

    I'm in aww in how patient this Blazer organization has been. Let's see if their plan and strategy works.

    if he would come on a cheap contract and is committed to change n growth, ok. but the first sign of bullshit he's cut.
    is he effectively un-coachable these days? could a guy like pop fix him?

    I stand corrected. Could have sworn he made an All Star team once.

    never mind, seems he's a lock for the Rockets.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12076582/josh-smith-join-houston-rockets

    Though the Rockets have not announced the move, Smith told FOX26 Sports that he is looking forward to playing with one of his closest friends and former AAU teammate Dwight Howard.

    "It's an exciting time for me," Smith told FOX26 Sports. "Being able to be reunited with a good friend and one of the best teammates I ever played with, I think we can definitely do something special.

    ah well, i wish him and them the worst - can't wait for the drama!
