I never thought about it but you are RIGHT! Temper tantrums, the desire to play the perimeter despite obvious skills in driving, the obligatory taunts when up by 20... good point. I may need to investigate. While here I want to thank the Knicks fan for the "1 star" vote. The only thing better than making fun of that pathetic squad is knowing that its pissing you off. I just hope you come back and keep sharin' the love. That's what its all about. Damn Bobby… I never thought about it but you are RIGHT!

Smith on the same team, because they are the same player. I haven't seen them both at the same place at the same time. It's like Michelle Tanner from "Full House." They just supplant each other when the other one has a dirty diaper or throwing a temper-tantrum. I think there should be an NBA rule that you can’t have Josh Smith and J.R.

I think the Nuggies should consider it and I might go as far as to suggest that it is the ONLY way this team can improve in some fashion via trade. His contract is a nice, digestable number and he's shown it on the floor (for a team that wants a scorer). The only other commodity that really attracts is Steven Hunter's expiring contract and that won't bring anything on it's own. Do I think they would actually do it? No... it's too "risky" by NBA standards, but I think this team is not setup for long-term success with newly-draft Ty Lawson and Melo being the only true rays of hope looking beyond two years. Besides, I really love Josh Smith and think he just got lost in the shuffle. Atlanta was blessed to get Joe Johnson and he's taken that spot over, but the rise of Horford (I can't imagine the Hawks would be stupid enough to trade him) also pushed Smith back out of the paint... and that's where you need him, and that's where the Nuggets would want him. Melo and Chauncey can drive but not like Josh. J-Smooth is Kenyon with offense. I think he would be perfect. Thanks for the note Travis!

Though I'm not sure the Nuggets would want to give up Smitty, in hopes that they can coax the "new and improved" Smitty out permanently once hes out of jail. He really improved last year, and while I fully understand trading him while his value is highest, I just don't know if we'd actually be better talent-wise without him in Denver. Interesting….
