Hey man do you guyz think we can acquire JR Smith. From what i heard he is a lot like Kobe bryant interms of body and athelticsm He has out of the world jumping ability and speed agility quicknesss and a sick jump shot that can extend to 4-5 fee beyond three point line. Also has a great body to play great defence which he will definetly do under van gundy. He doesn't have the handles yet but dats comming. He has great desire to improve but he is inconsistent he has desire to be the best but isn't gettin ne love becuz he is in the dog house. What do you guys think??? I would offer Derek Anderson and one maybe two second round draft picks or a first round draft pick this year and maybe give em moochie or bowen or w/e, plus an up and comming line up of yao howard/swift mcgrady smith alston is sick he could also be another penetrator that goes to the hoop strong for us makin it even harder to double yao or mac
I like J.R. he's really athletic. NOK would want something good for him though. I think NOK would want Alston for him. He's a solid role player in a couple of years to me. I don't know why he isn't in the Slam Dunk Contest.
I no for a fact that NOK would not want alston because they already have someone up and comming in chris paul with speedy claxton backing him up when healthy. Right now the hornets would probably want a shooting guard because as of now they are starting kirk snyder who has his ups and downs and desmond mason the same thing. If they get derek anderson they could get more offence. Could start him instead of snyder and get like 15-20pts consistently in that offence becasuse of the way it is run or start inplace of desmond for better perimeter game. We could also fork over one or two second round picks or one first round draft pick so it makes up for them that they get a pick and more youth. They would want derek anderson for now becuz they haven't made playoffs for a long time and want to hold on to the sixth seed makin it and hoping to do some damage. Exactly the position derek anderson could be in. We get JR smith an atheletic sg who can shoot but very inconsistent night in night out. He can help us in our run to make playoffs and helpin out t-mac by drivin and nailing his shots takin pressure off of our stars.
JR would be a nice addition for the Rockets who need a spark to get them rolling again after all those injuries!
Wonder if they would take DA for J.R. Smith though. I don't see DA has too much value due to recent bad performance while I see good future for Smith.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dtpxcore:</div><div class="quote_post">I think NOK would want Alston for him. </div> Why on earth do you think the Hornets would want a PG? They've got the best young PG for many years, and Speedy Claxton has proven to be an excellent backup. The only way they'd even consider a PG would be if Speedy walks in the off-season.
yes please j.r. gotta leave the hornets, his talent is being wasted, if he do come to the rockets i hope van gundy willl change his work ethic he needs to work harder he has a lotta potential to be a star

How credible is that? Smith has the range, but his shot selection is horrible and he's still inconsistent. Byron Scott has blasted him repeatedly this season for his laziness; think we'd like someone like that after Stromile Swift? We get younger, blah blah blah, but Smith is a terrible defender. We just got Keith Bogans, how are we going to split the minutes between the two? Also, NOK is looking for a big man to body up in the first round of the playoffs. Derek Anderson doesn't mean crap to them.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">well, looks like the trade with NOK that went through was moochie for lampe</div> Where'd u get that from? I just checked out Hoopshype, Espn, and the Chronicle and nothings turned up. Anyway, JR Smith is definitely not the solution for us. He can only dunk, his shooting skills are weak, and he plays lackluster defense. Even though he's athletic, that really doesn't mean anything- just take a look at Swift. Neither really try and are lazy during games yet have all the athleticism and potential going for them. However, guys I do want us to acquire from the Hornets are Rasual Butler and Arvydas Macijauskas. Both are pretty deadly shooters, and although Arvydas' stats don't show it, from his Euro league play and from what I've read from Shape, he's money from three. Something we can definitely use.

Lampe was touted as a lottery pick in the 2003 draft before he dropped to the second round, and he is a young prospect with lots of potential. However, I don't think he's capable of contributing on the Rockets, and why the need for another power forward when Chuck Hayes is just begging for minutes with his play?
All i got to say is, JR SMITH is a beast when he plays good. I like him and would trade for him but, I don't think it will happen with Bogans here..which I have no problem with.
For some reasoni heard vice versa that JR smith has a good work ethic and works on his game a lot i am not sure if it was about his or outlaw though i am gonna go check. Reason i wanted him was cuz i thought he was a young player that works hard if he not a hard work i would still want him but a bit iffy becuz he is the prototypical shooting guard a luxury we have not enjoyed for years and i expect young talent to develop. but i am gonna try to find the site that said his work ethic good

The best way to formulate an opinion on a player's game is by actually watching him play. Even stuff like work ethic can be seen from that. Smith rarely hustles for loose balls in games, something that rookies are all expected to do. Smith didn't do it in his rookie year, and still isn't doing it. He's lazy, bottomline.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">He's lazy, bottomline.</div> He also lacks desire and is extremely immature. All the tools are there, just needs to be hungry and grow up a bit.
actually the game i saw him this year i saw him get 26pts and like 12rebounds so i was reli surprised when they didn't let him play but from his other games i can see why. but dat game it seems like he was jus hyped or somethin

There is no doubt about his talent. The kid has enough talent to become something really special, it's just about whether he wants it enough.
