Under MD I see Smith as Shawn Marion redux.

That is one bad contract. Unless you value Josh as a top tier player then Donnie should pass on him.

We have lee, and smith is better, bottom line. Next season they'll be. making some what of the same salary if lee gets what he doesn't deserve.

IDK. I think he'd be 2b on the pecking list and become what Odom should've been if Phil got a hold of him.

The Lakers just won the title with Ariza who played his role quite nicely. Why would the Lakers trade him for Smith? Ariza is most likely not going to be commanding a salary of 10M. This makes no sense....unless Phil likes more of a challenge and cool dunks.

Ariza is a nice role player. Josh Smith like him or not is a star. Kobe is entering his 13th season with a ton of mileage. gotta replenish the talent in LA in preparation for the day Kobe can't carry 5 anymore.

Josh Smith would be a huge, giant mistake. I mean guys like him and Kirilenko are unique talents that rely too much on athleticism. Any team that relies on Josh Smith to be the best or second best player might make it to the second round of the playoffs in a good year--which is exactly why they are shopping him. Atlanta thinks they need to get Joe Johnson a legit number two

Ariza 10 mill, he,s improved a lot but he's certainly no all star yet, that's not going to happen

Joe Johnson IS the legit number two. They need a true go to man and a defensive presence.

Let's see... a headcase whose game relies mostly on athleticism and has a hideous contract.

Been there. Done that. Don't want to go back.

Allanfan - Joe Johnson, as revealed in his dreadful sub-par playoffs, is barely a number three.

No to Josh Smith in any form.

ok why is Josh Smith's contract bad? I think dude is making about what he should...

question is....is david lee worth what Josh Smith is getting? everyone seems to think the Lee is worth more that what Josh is getting.

D'antoni would have Josh Smith going back door all day....get Josh Smith...get a point guard...get Curry in shape...get in the playoffs with Josh, Al, Curry, Gortat, Wilson, Gallo, Duhon, Hughes, and a drafted point guard...Go Knicks!!!!

TKF - can you give us the low down. I know your good for that ATL info.

Josh Smith man to man defense really imressed me over the last 2 yrs from the forward position, Thats not including his shot blocking ability.

D'Antoni would make him a 20+ scorer.

You guys are also wrong about Smith having to be *Pippen*. It would be the same senario if we were to resign David Lee. As long as we are able to unload Eddie Curry either in this trade or in the future. We would still be able to land 2 max free agents in 2010.

EnySpree - living in Atlanta and seeing Josh Smith on a regular basis some things become apparent.

He is immature

He has a problem with taking direction

He does not get along well with his team mates

He is not very fluent or comfortable with the press

The press is not comfortable with him

He does absolutely nothing of any positive impact in the Atlanta Metro area

His on-court demeanor makes Stephon Marbury look like Steve Nash

You don't want him around when a team is losing and needs to turn to a leader

He does not hit the open man
