Craig Smith?

[ironcrotch]

from Craig Smith's twatta

"Portland here I come @MarcusCamby23 I'm on my way foooool!"

Definitely a banger that would help.

David Thorpe picked Craig Smith when asked to name the strongest player in the NBA.

Just a little factoid for you. And "Rhino" is one of the cooler nicknames in the league.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Ooh I like this move.

 

[THE HCP]

FINALLY! We have a player built like the HCP!

 

[PapaG]

That would be fantastic! The 'banger' that this community has been wanting for years, and he has an offensive game.

I'm down. I remember him playing at BC. He was a-ight. Kinda short for a PF, but he'd be a decent backup.

This beast wanted to kill Rudy last year



Should be an instant fan favorite

And like that.......... we are a fast breaking team that can lay wood on people if necessary!

His SIM score says the player he's most like statistically in his career is Ronnie Turiaf.

Strangely, I can dig it.

 

[RoyToy]

Yeah I like the signing.

Can give you solid 10-15 minutes and isn't a terrible scorer

Here's a little idea of his capabilities:

Decent depth move

 

[julius]

what position does he play?

Rhythm Guitar.

 

[THE HCP]

PF/C even though he's short.

 

[Draco]

Sweet! We have two Smiths, two Johnsons, and two Marcus'

Best part of this signing is Luke Babbit is no longer our backup PF!

Add in Elliot and you could have a nice garbage time lineup of Johnson-Smith-Williams-Smith-Johnson.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

15.5 PER presumably for vet. min. sounds good to me. He gives the team a dimension they don't have (without Oden playing, of course), which sounds great to me.

 

[Draco]

Smith averaged 10.1 PPG in only 19.7 minutes on 'sota in 08-09 while shooting 56% FG. He's regressed a little since then but still very efficient FG%.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

he was all the rage according to PER a few years ago but kinda fell off the map, stoked though, this is exactly what i wanted

A BIG THAT CAN SCORE DOWN LOW

 

[craigehlo]

Solid pickup. Pretty good FA signing day.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I like this signing quite a bit. He can definitely score inside and he's not a terrible rebounder ... defense is a little shaky, but for what they are likely to pay him I'm down.

 

[MickZagger]

I like this move. I've liked all the moves that we've made this offseason. Smith isn't special by any means, but take him for what he is. Brings toughness to the team. I wonder if KG would get down and bark like a dog to this years Blazer squad.

First positive post to come from you in my 3 years here!

 

[MickZagger]

A stiff, he is not.
