miami should try and get him at SF position

This is the right move. Philadelphia should do everything in their power to get this guy. He is young and would be a nice complement to Andre Igoudala, and even younger Lou Williams.

JSmith will work in any system. He will look for the highest bidder.

Smith will be going to the highest bidder and should have a few bidders- If would be nice to see him in a Lakers uniform
Sign and trade him for Lamar and whoever else they want (Rad, Walton)

Smith on the 76ers makes sense. Let's see if they can pull it off.

The Sixers need a guy who can be a potent force in the paint, but I don't think that Josh Smith is the right guy. He certainly grabs his share of rebounds and blocks, but he doesn't score too many points down low. But then again, Smith is probably the most promising front court FA still available. Brand is going to stay in LA because of Baron Davis. So there aren't many choices left for the Sixers.

Done deal! Smith will be a Sixer.

Smith has been progressing nicely-
a good investment

I would not touch childress.....
decent player, but probably best suited to be a back-up
- not worthy of any $

Josh Smith is a STUD!!! Any team in the league would benefit greatly by signing him. My only concern is that he plays like a PF with the size of a SF. He need to develop an outside game as soon as possible before defenses realize his limitations.

The Sixers should hold on to that cap money. Wait till next year when the Free Agent market is much deeper....and spend the money (plus what they'll have after this year's expiring contracts kick-in) on someone better then Josh Smith.

Does Smith make the Sixers a contender? Not really. They still don't have a PF inside game. Josh Smith is a really good player, don't get me wrong. He needs to develop a post-up game.

The Sixer's problem is they don't have an inside presence. They don't have a back-to-the-hoop inside guy to get the tough inside points. We have a team of jump shooter & dunkers who are inconsistent at best....They don't have a 3-pt threat on the roster....They need consistent shooting and an inside player to improve this squad...

One giant step at a time.

josh smith is the best thing for the sixers now,it will even be better for igoudala, because he can play the #2 spot where he art to be and josh can play the #3 spot where he is best at .both guys bring defence at there spot.sammy will have lot of help on the board at #5 spot, then put SPIGHT the #16 pick in the darf at #4 spot the sixers will lead the NBA in defence and rebound in their front line with miller at the#1 spot running the show , they can make a run at the EAST and the NBA champs.your back up will be 1 pg williams 2 sg green 3 sf young 4 pf evans and 5 c smith, corney and miller will round out the 12 man roster.

Now that Brand is probably staying in LA with Baron and the Clippers, Josh Smith is their best FA to go after

"Not worthy of any $$" ??? Huh you expect him to pay for free?
Dude, Childress was a highest scoring player in the East coming of the bench, last year. He's a terrific rebounder AND a good locker room kid. Actually his upside is much more than Smith's, who albeit more talented has an attitude problem. Such kids usually slack off after a big pay day.

In any case, I don't think ATL will let either of them go; 99% will match whatever offers would come their way

The Sixers would have benfitted more from Brand than Smith though

the #1 thing to do is take care of igoudala and williams contract fist ,then go after josh smith ,then make a trade for a shap shooter

"Not worthy of any $$" ??? Huh you expect him to pay for free? "

I did NOT say he was a dog..... I meant that he is not worth BIG FA money
his #'s are 11 pts 5 rbs 2 assts (and his playoff #'s were less)

He's a good BACK-UP.........
when you are trying to build a team- you don't look for back-up help FIRST
you get starters, then 'fill' the rest of your roster LATER

I like josh smith but he has to play the 4 1-andre miller 2- iggy 3- thaddeus young 4- josh smith 5- sammy

i wish my heaters tried 2 get him for real.
but he will work with iguadala & that young roster.

miami should try and get him at SF position
