Looks like the Suns want Josh Smith for Marcin Gortat in a package?

I would not trade a lot to get Smith.....but I would make that trade if I was Phoenix. As long as you are committed to REALLY running then Josh Smith would be great. But IMO he is best suited to be the first guys off the bench. But there is no way in hell that he would except that role with his ego. Like many players he will have to be traded a few times before he figures our that he is not quite as good as he thinks.

To be clear I am not saying he is not good, just not as good as he thinks. He is getting 13 million this year, and he will want the same if not more in his next contract.
 
Nothing wrong with this thread. Good job BGD!
 
Interesting to see if the Lakers would take anything from Minnesota for Pau. I think he would work well with Love and Rubio. But I bet the Lakers want Love.

Williams, Pec and Roy's ending contract would get them close money wise. Pec would not be bad insurance if Howard bolted.
 
Great thread topic BGD. I have gone back and read some of your recent thread topics and posts and you might be the only squared away and halfway decent poster on here. It's nice to come across somebody who is as knowledgable about the game as myself. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, thank you...:smiley-oscar:
 
Best thread I've seen in over 10 years of posting!

Fantastic job!

Stupendous!
 
WTF is going on with the forum?

Anyway, hopefully the Blazers do something with Hickson and or Matthews
 
There's nothing inherently wrong with Matthews, but he's pretty average all things considered. I think he's better suited to coming off the bench as a sixth man.
 
Wes is great for us. But yes maybe a sixth man in future. Problem is what SG out there would we be able to get via trade??
 
Did you guys see this suggestion on Realgm?
Josh Smith for Meyers Leonard, JJ Hickson, Nolan Smith and a first-round pick

Everyone focuses on Josh Smith’s iffy shot-selection, but he can play some basketball too. He’s an Atlanta native who has spent the first nine years of his career playing for one of the most poorly run and nondescript franchises in the NBA. More than anything else, he needs a change of scenery.

Portland would be the ideal fit. It would force LaMarcus Aldridge to play at the 5, but with the NBA game becoming smaller and more perimeter-oriented, that’s a natural transition. Aldridge and Smith’s games mesh perfectly: Aldridge can stretch the floor and allow Smith to operate closer to the basket, while Smith’s passing ability would create easy shots for a big man who can finish from any part of the floor. A front-court with those two and Nic Batum is only the progression of Damian Lillard and a bench away from being an elite team.

I don't care for it personally. Never was a big fan of Josh Smith. It makes our team older and shorter. Pass.

If you're talking "big picture" then I agree that he's fairly average. But if we're talking about today...I think he's Top 10 at his position. There is a dearth of SG talent right now (especially if you take into account salary and age) which makes what should be "average" into "well above average".
Outside of Kobe, Wade, Ginobili and Harden there aren't any SGs who don't have gaping holes in their games - I think Wes is one of the guys with the fewest holes.
So who are you going to get that would be a better SG? Sad as it is, I don't think we can upgrade at the SG position.
 
Don't get me wrong I like Wes but I think he is a bit over rated by Blazer fans. I understand he is a fan favorite but a lot of Blazer fans act like they wouldn't give him up for anything.

You can take CP3 and Ginobili off that list - we all know that they aren't coming here. Then strike all the PGs names (also including CP3) and you're left with a list that includes TWO players who some MIGHT argue are better than Wes...three if you're from NYC.

We already have a sg that's better than Matthews right now. His name is batum.

So when making a choice; you can look at sg and sf positions. I would much rather have Matthews come off the bench because of his defense and scoring in streaks. He's a perfect 6th man.
 
Mayo or reddick off bench. Exactly the scoring we need. Let Wes play defense on first unit against other teams best player

I was just posting the list of unrestricted. Didn't say which are obtainable.

I agree with this - the better defender should play against the opposition's better players.
I'd love it if Wes could be our 6th man, but given the talent pool he's a starting SG.
