We need a shot blocker who can challenge every shot from the paint, not someone who can fly off the weak side and get highlight packs. I cant really comment on Smith's man defense.
Josh smith on the block
- Thread starter Fishsticks
- Start date
Josh Smith would be great in a 2nd or 3rd-option role, like Lamar Odom on steroids. Just rebound, dunk, block people, taunt the fans, etc. He's more athletic than anyone the Jazz have currently (okay, except maybe Ronnie Price on a good day).
Evans
the Hawks shouldn't have signed Joe Johnson to that stupid contract.
Yeah, I thought of that, but I'd wait til Evans logs at least 10 minutes of playing time.

I'd say in more of a 3rd or 4th option role. If he's your 2nd option, good luck winning it all.
While thinking of his salary situation I might hesitate a bit, but for the people on here who think he wouldn't fit on the team or wouldn't be an upgrade over AK:
Smith is definitely the kind of player who can make big plays. Him on the floor with Jefferson and Williams would be pretty devastating.
3rd option at best, 4th option ideally if the team doesnt suck.
So add this to D.Will, CJ Miles and Al Jeff...

Id rather have Saps rebounds and jumper.

I love it
I love it that everytime another team is looking to deal a player, theres always some Jackass that steps up and pleads how the Jazz should give their left basketball to aquire this guy when it makes no sense at all. If it was a position that we were needing to fill, then I could understand it.
If Bill Russle was looking at coming out of retirement at 137 years old, you can bet that someone would be on here calculating figures finding every possible way to make it work. What a JOKE.

That's an average for his career. And how effective has he been with 14 shots per game? Exactly! That's why he's on the trading block. The year he was on my FBT he was jacking up 20-25 shots per game and shooting 30% - 35%.
Thus far this year he's averaging 40% FG. And this is at the PF position. For his career he's at 46% at the 4 spot. When you play a position that close to the basket, 46% is pathetic.
As a reference, Mansap is shooting 63% thus far this year and for his career is at 53%.
Even better work on your part, hack. No way we trade for Smith. He's flashy but low on substance.

Smith is ok... But Lebron is better. Maybe we should try trading for him?

Not if he's going to make a habit of getting 0 rebounds per game. No sir.
Not to mention Woodson has been having issues with Smith's personality ever since he has been in Atlanta. It's not even like Atlanta runs a structured offense.

Woodson doesn't have any issues with it now though.
