    I kind of like the Rockets for Josh Smith. Gives them a kind of a bad-ass team with many head-cases but that could potentialy have a lot of talent

    It's a bit odd that Josh Smith could be their 'missing piece'. They certainly played better last season with him than this season without him.

    In that trade, former Duck Maarty Luenen managed to get his name in something associated with the NBA. I'm guessing it's been a while....

    For some reason I really want Josh Smith and JR Smith on the same team.

    It's like trading Bubonic Plague back and forth. Hot potato that nobody wants.
    He's a serious cancer to every team he's on. Doc is genius to make this move.

    Hmmm... with Ish Smith as the point guard.

    Smith, Smith, & Smith!

    The question is why did he sign him in the first place when it was so obvious he was a bad fit.

    They could probably trade for Jason Smith and sign Greg Smith to really round out that roster.

    To be fair it was for the league minimum. And the NBA picks up the tab for half of that salary so relatively peanuts.

    According to an article I read Kaman is on the short list to be traded for draft picks

    Traded to the Clippers?

    In general it makes total sense; if you're not going to worry as much about Meyers's future because he didn't re-sign with you and made a silly bet on himself, you don't need to keep his trainer around either.

    Yeah I heard we were offered a high 3rd round pick for him.

    I suspect the Blazers are resting Kaman to keep him healthy for the trade deadline, or for an outside chance at the playoffs.

    That would be perfect. And can Matt Barnes also be on the team? And can Derek Fisher be coach?
