ATLANTA -- According to a league source, the Oklahoma City Thunder and forward Joe Smith reached a buyout agreement tonight. He will be waived by the midnight deadline and start in the waiver system Monday and should clear waivers by Wednesday morning.

Smith and the Cavs have been in talks and they are his first choice. If all goes according to plan, indications are Smith will sign with the team once he becomes a free agent and could be in uniform for Wednesday's game against the Bucks at The Q.

I don't understand all the hype around this guy.

He's a decent player but he's not going to radically change any team he goes to at this point in his career.

He's about a thousand times better than JJ Hickson, Gregory. That's all I know.

there's no hype. he's a veteran athletic big who can give at least spot minutes on the big rotation.

Still doesn't solve CLE's problem of having an undersized front court.

Basically all players who get bought out and are picked up after the trade deadline aren't going to have a "radical" impact.

Doesn't mean he wouldn't be a solid addition to an already elite team.

Beggars can't be choosers, Gregory.
