    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Atlanta's Josh Smith will be a restricted free agent July 1, and has been frequently mentioned, along with the Los Angeles Clippers' Elton Brand, as a player who could be just what the Sixers need.

    "I think about [being restricted] a little bit, but then I leave it in God's hands," Smith said. "I'm just trying to play the season out. If I focus too much on it, I won't be performing at a high level. Let's see what happens in the offseason."</div>

    If Philly goes after him, where do they play him? Does Iggy get forced to play SG? If so, what does that do to Louis Williams playing time?

    Seems sort of redundant, with Iggy.

    First of all I really doubt we actually sign him, since he is a restricted free agent and I see no reason why Atlanta wouldn't match any offer he receives.

    With that being said, if somehow we do sign him, I wouldn't be surprised to see him play PF. Ed Stefanski has already said he wants to build this team like the Phoenix Suns, but with better defense, and Josh Smith fits that concept. He has the ability to run the floor and finish, block shots, and play solid defense.

    Andre Miller
    Andre Iguodala
    Thaddeus Young
    Josh Smith
    Samuel Dalembert

    I'm liking that line-up...

    I'd be devastated if Philly sign him. With the way Hawks owner **** things up, there is a chance.
