Re: C's targeting Joe Smith? http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers..._road_bump.html <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Sixers still have their sights on re-signing forward Joe Smith, an unrestricted free agent. They could offer Smith ample playing time, but the Chicago Bulls, whom Smith visited last week, could assure him of a place in the postseason. Houston and Boston are among others that apparently have shown interest.</div> I like Joe Smith, he's a great rebounder, but he is not what we need. We need a real defensive presence at the 5 (if only Theo could stay healthy), an over-aged 4 isn't gonna help us.
Re: C's targeting Joe Smith? I bet we have shown a little interest, but I doubt danny would waste any real energy chasing after joe smith when there are just better options out there.
Re: C's targeting Joe Smith? Joe is a good plan B to play backup 4 and sometimes 5 depending on the other Center but I doubt he's a priority.best thing about adding him is he won't create and locker room problems as he's never done so before. He'll take the mins given to him, work hard and not gripe about it.
Re: C's targeting Joe Smith? I could see him logging some good minutes...but like everyone is saying, we don't really need him, this would also have to be a sign & trade and Philly would definately want someone like Gomes. I'd rather keep a younger, more versatile, and simply better forward in Ryan Gomes. Also, we don't need two #1 busts on our team at the same time...

Re: C's targeting Joe Smith? Mike Gorman was on FSN tonight, and he said "In fact, I KNOW that there is much more smoke to the Celtics' interest in Darko than there is with the Smith rumors."
