Josh Smith for Kevin Garnett trade rumor

A Josh Smith for Kevin Garnett trade rumor was reported by Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News:

With the Big Three’s window now shut, Ainge is trying to land Atlanta’s Josh Smith and other young studs, while offering up Kevin Garnett. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen can also be had, for young players and draft picks. Rajon Rondo might be leaving, too, with the Lakers and Utah seen as possible destinations.

I like Smith as a player and wouldn’t be particularly opposed to this move (I kind of like it, actually — if Rondo can make Chris Wilcox look like Blake Griffin East, imagine what he could do for Smith), but it would be difficult to see him watching ill-advised jumpers after four years of watching Garnett make the right decision just about every time down the floor.

Times, they are a-changing, either in a couple weeks or at the end of this season. /tear

    Did they pass stupid pills around to all the media??? Why would Atlanta do this deal? Better yet, why would the Cs? KG is playing his best ball and is leading the team to their improvement in the W/L column. God, this is just so f’in dumb. Can 3/15 get here soon enough? Go Cs…

    This is a stupid trade. The reporter should be fired and fined.

    Garnett is a teacher. If Danny has half a brain left, he does not let Garnett go. But this is the guy who perpetrated The Trade, so I wouldn’t be shocked at anything. Horrified, but not shocked

    This is the guy the Cs should try and get – Kenneth Faried -

    I doubt Denver would move him but he led the NCAA in rebounding last year and is going to be a really good player for years. But that’s my dream; that the Cs get a young stud rebounder who can also defend, shoot and run with RR. Go Cs…

      Or get Donte Greene from SAC -

      http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3432/donte-greene

      Underused, runs the floor, can rebound and defend and can shoot the 3 really well. Go Cs…these are the type of players we need to get or attract.

    We just need a rebounder. A rebounder who isn’t an offensive liability. We could have used that idiot David west.

    We should get Javele McGee. He can be a phenomenal player. All star potential. He just needs the right mentor and the right players around him.
