He really can play anywhere from the 2 to the 4. But I would agree it is academic, he's not going anywhere. As for the Gil infromation, I agree with wiz-skins it's not that big of a deal we knew he was going to opt out but I would definitely say we are the leaders to sign him.

First it was said that he’ll opt out on the 30th, then the 20th, but it ended up happening on the 6th. Some crazy things can still happen; we should all be kinda careful what we wish for… Also, I wouldn’t know about Sheed because I heard (won’t say from where or whom) that he’ll be retiring some time soon – that team (in my opinion) is pretty much revolved around him, so maybe this could be their reason for the “changes” set to take place… Wiz-skins –

Altought I may not see it as very neccessary. I wonder how much value this package would have -- sign and trade Arenas w/Blatche and the 1st Rounder. Again just a thought. That just isnt going to happen. I just dont want this to be another Juwan Howard situation that could potentially end up killing us in the long-run. Josh Smith is going to want about 10 mil a season, the ONLY way we get him is if we cant sign Arenas which also means that we werent able to sign Jamison.

I didn't say he "isn't good." Josh Smith is a nice player, but he is not some kind of star. He's not worth chasing, and he sure isn't anywhere near the player Jamison is. It's not even close. It's academic, anyway. Josh Smith is part of Atlanta's young core; they aren't going to let him go. Btw, the rebounding rate you quote above is BELOW AVERAGE for an NBA 4. The same stats show him at less than 60% from the line, and I notice you leave out turnovers. I don't mean to knock him. As I said, he is a nice player. Just not a star.

Tom you think Josh Smith isn't good? lol This guy could guard either of our forwards effectively and still put up points, boards and blocks, check the records. He's also gotten consideration for defensive player of the year, but thats mostly due to Blocks.
