The Spurs could use some healthy players right now. I'm sure Josh Smith would have no problem getting minutes, at least with so many players injured and getting rested.
He's good friend with Rondo and Howard, he might see oportonity to play with one of them and for a le, so probably he is agreed to gave up some money to be waive and go to Dallas or Houston...

I'd be on board for trying with the MLE.
Josh Smith has sucked for the last 2 years in Detroit, but his RAPM numbers pointed to him as elite in previous years. When his head is 57% screwed on, as it was in Atlanta, He is/was really good. He hasn't been that guy this year, as a Kobe system player with a worse shot that Kobe has, but he'd still probably be an upgrade on a roster spot from Daye.
Best case for Daye is that he has 1 good game out of 10, rides the bench and is happy.
Smith might partially recapture Atlanta form, and that guy could play in the Weird Diaw/big/Manu/Marco/Mills lineups as the second big. He has the passing skills to fit in.
I would be okay with the spurs taking a minimum contract chance on Smith. I agree with the notion that he's obviously cancer. But he's got some outs.
Detroit was stupid to even try to pair him with Monroe and Drummond. Then they made Jennings the point guard, when they coulda drafted Trey Burke. I also never cared much for either of his final atlanta coaches. I think Smith teams up with his buddy D12. But signing cheap with the clippers or mavericks would be more scary.
We can use him, we need some juice with the lackluster play of us this season after winning the le...
Yes I have and he's better than Ayres, Daye and Bonner. But again, he isn't a fit for this team but may be a nice add for a contender off the bench.Have any of you even watched Josh Smith play?
Wouldn't be the first head case the team signed. Dudes talented and knows how to play the right way, even though he usually doesn'tgreys...I'm pretty surprised Chinook is on board with this too.
Thankfully, he's not coming to the Spurs. He won't want to and I'm sure the Spurs have learned their lesson about role players that need to ball to be effective.
. What more do you want from a min guy?
God you're so cool.

I just read that the Kings are looking to get him as they tried to trade for him last season. I hope that happens. Not only will it keep him away from the scavenging s like the Mavs, Rockets, Cavs and Clips but it would be awesome to see the freakshow duo of Cousins and Smith wreaking havoc, getting in fights, racking up technicals, and losing...lol.
I know, another one of those "I'm bold named and you're grey named so you suck! I'm so cool, I'll start calling you greys, haha! That'll show them!" And then their mom calls him for breakfast as they live in their parents' basement.
EXACTLY. This guy gets it.
The Spurs system would be very good for his career, as long as he is willing. It would definitely revamp him.
I do agree This team needs some new blood, most of our current players just dont seem all that interested in the season right now. Be nice to just have something new to put out there to spark hopefully spark up the old team.
I've posted a lot in this thread but it's all for naught because we're not getting him. Let this thread die, tbh.
Typical ST when asked if a former all star can join the team...
"No thanks."
"Nope, he's not European and soft"
"No he's black and can get his own shot"
.... We have Jeff Ayres, Matt Bonner, Austin Daye, and a declining Diaw. Wtf you mean we don't need a backup PF? Josh Smith still plays defense and rebounds. Josh Smith is a guy we can play when the Big 3 is out, he won't be a starter in the playoffs so chill the out. We have the full MLE, and he's not a bad 3rd/4th big if Chip Engelland can work with him.
oh noes the parent's basement insult gawd how will I ever go on
Heh it does seem that most here think every Player in the NBA not on the Spurs roster are scrubs doesn't it.
People laughed at those of us who wanted Blatche as well. He would have been a great addition in retrospect.
I know, right? Cuz callin us "greys" is the mark of a badass. Riiiiggggggggggggghhhhhhhhtttt. We just aren't cool like you. We're ed, tbh.
No one is saying Smith is a scrub.
He certainly has the talent and potential but he doesn't seem like the type that can mature into a player that knows his role. Doubt that Pop would even put up with his bull .
LA or GS bound tbh..
No, you are just typically stupid...like you are today.
Anyway, Smith will sign with the Kings or Rockets. He's not coming here so none of this matters.
These idiots called Jeff Ayres an upgrade over Blair.... Because "he seems like a good defender"Heh it does seem that most here think every Player in the NBA not on the Spurs roster are scrubs doesn't it.
Calling me stupid is nothing coming from your wannabe badass. But yeah, this is all meaningless.
and when he does the greys will be like
Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I see the risks, I recognize him as a potential toxin, but I believe in the strength of the Spurs organization/system vis-à-vis taking a gamble like this and surviving it: either because we turn him around without much damage to ourselves or we dump him after he proves worthless without much damage to ourselves. I don't think this is necessarily true for every team that might want to take a go at him, like say, the Sacramento Kings. That would be an entertaining tire fire.
There's potential that for some teams signing Josh Smith will do to them what Evan Turner's addition supposedly did to the Pacers, I just don't think we're that sort of team. For us it seems high reward/negligible risk.
And yeah, this is also probably true anyway.
