Mavs can see Josh Smith filling Wright role


DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks never had any interest in Josh Smith when he
was a jumper-happy forward seeking a starting job and a high salary. But they
’d love to have Smith as a bargain-priced bench player, in particular as a
replacement for traded backup big man Brandan Wright.

ESPN.com’s Marc Stein reports that the Mavs, Houston Rockets, Sacramento
Kings, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers are among the teams that will have
interest in Smith when he clears waivers Wednesday. The Detroit Pistons
released Smith on Monday less than halfway into his four-year, $54 million
deal.

The Mavs can offer Smith only the veteran’s minimum if he wants to reunite
with their new point guard Rajon Rondo, Smith's teammate and roommate at high
school basketball powerhouse Oak Hill Academy. The Mavs can’t offer Smith a
starting role, but they can give him an opportunity to be an impact player
for a contender.

The springy, 6-foot-9 Smith has seen only extremely limited spot duty at
center during his 11-year NBA career. However, Wright had hardly played
center before arriving in Dallas and thrived at the position in the Mavs’
 pick-and-roll-intensive offense, averaging 8.8 points on a league-high field
goal percentage (74.8) in 18.7 minutes per game.

A team source told ESPNDallas.com that the Mavs believe Smith could succeed
in Wright’s old role plus get some minutes at power forward.

With the Pistons, Smith was one of the least efficient offensive forwards in
the NBA, shooting an awful 41.3 percent from the floor during his Detroit
tenure. However, at 29, Smith is still an excellent athlete capable of
replicating Wright’s strengths as an above-the-rim finisher and weakside
shot-blocker against second units.

Smith’s field goal percentage and efficiency ratings would soar if, like
Wright, a large portion of his shots came off lob passes on pick-and-rolls or
penetration from the Mavs’ arsenal of paint attackers. It’s also reasonable
to anticipate that Smith would average at least 25 minutes per game off the
Mavs’ bench, seeing spot duty at power forward and a lot of time at center
with Nowitzki on the floor, a pairing that greatly benefited Wright.

Other teams will be able to offer Smith more money and a starting job. The
Mavs can give him a chance to change his reputation and redefine his game
while playing for a contender.


ESPN Dallas談論到今天被waive的Josh Smith
小牛本來對他完全沒興趣
但是在Wright走了之後  小牛需要一個替補的角色
Smith的得分能力比賴打強許多  而且小牛不需要他投外線
除了身高不夠  賴打能做的Smith應該都做得到(擋拆、巴火鍋等等)

小牛簽下Smith的優勢

1. Rondo與Smith是高中隊友  也是好麻吉
2. 能來有競爭冠軍能力的球隊

小牛的劣勢

1. 只有老將底薪
2. 只有替補可打

其實光看上面真的很難想像Smith想來  論條件有更好的球隊(希望不要資敵QQ ex:火箭)
而且其實Smith的高度還是不太夠  能不能打Wright那套也難說
就隨緣看看之後的發展吧
