Josh Smith Trade Rumors: Dallas, Houston and Memphis interested?

[sep11ie]

Please don't make a move for him Morey. Pleeeeeaaaaase!

[KnicksorBust]

I'd think Houston would want this deal done w/o dealing Asik. They'll dangle Parsons/Patterson and Morris if they have to.

Literally nobody in the NBA averages the points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks of Smith. I don't know if that's enough. Patterson has looked good though.

They have to make salary match up people and the only three big contracts they have our Lin ,Harden and Asik . This will have to be a three team deal if Houston wants to hang on to Asik. The players y'all are naming are still on their rookie deals , a lot of players and a big contract would have to go to Atl to match the 13 mill of Smiths contract.

To Dallas so they can use that as a ploy to get Dwight

You don't have to match contracts if you're under the cap.

Who is under the cap ? I don't think ATL is under it yet , I just tried it in the Trade Machine

I know. I think it would b/c it's cost control for ATL and you'd have 2 or 3 young players w/ upside to keep while being able to go on a FA spend spree this summer. Patterson is good but he ain't Josh Smith. They'd deal him and run w/ the receipt.

HOU is under the cap. Way under. So the deal works (in craziest unrealistic term)

[nickdymez]

If he goes to Houston that will be NASTY

[LA4life24/8]

LA needs to find a way to get him, keeps dwight n LA, and with ron and clark serving as trong ppf candidates smith could serve as the sf and kobe could go back to sg and LA would play much better D... im dreaming i know but it is the lakers and.they have been known to get a steal n trades juss sayin

[astrosmaniac]

there's no way morey deals asik for him. asik is a great value as a defensive anchor at C. can you imagine this teams defense without him? it'd be horrendous. theres also the fact that smith is terribly inefficient

[MrfadeawayJB]

I think he will end up extending with Atlanta actually.

[KniCks4LiFe]

he's getting traded. Quote me.

[Diesel44]

Would the Hawks want Asik's contract?

If his numbers hold up Asik has a very affordable contract, but no I don't see Asik in any deal.

[*Silver&Black*]

This rumor is funny. They spit out 3 rumored teams, then literally said none of them have shown interest. WTF?

Also, the Hawks already have the Rockets 1st already I believe, so what can they give us? Ferry would want either draft picks or star players. Rebuild or win now. Gasol doesn't do that, nor anyone from the Rockets not named Harden.
