Don't get me wrong, I don't want LMA gone, I'm saying that's what I think it would take to get him from Atlanta ... it would almost be considered a lateral move.

I know I said "if I was KP I would probably do it", I think I "misspoke"; If I was KP I'd give it a serious look.

(and yes I do believe that LMA will be the perfect high-post compliment to Oden's low post game, and I also think LMA has yet to fully tap his potential.)

Perfection

I like Smith's game a lot. He is a physical freak. More than anything, I worry about attitude issues, as he has butted heads with his coach pretty publicly. He can play the 3 and some time as a smaller 4. I'd love to seem him in a Blazer jersey at anything below the max, and would give up anything but Roy, LMA, or Oden to make it happen. I don't care a ton about our pick this year.

It doesn't really matter, the Atlanta GM said he will match any offer given to Smith.

Honestly, if guys like Kevin Martin, Devin Harris, Al Jefferson are demanding 9-10 million/year, Smith isn't really that overpriced if you compare him to those deals.

I read through this entire thread and nobody pointed out the essential point: Josh Smith's contract in a sign & trade immediately becomes a BYC1. It would nearly be impossible to complete a 2 team deal unless nearly 40 million in contracts were moved to absorb the BYC discrepancy.
