He is a stretch 4 like Shawn Marion. He doesn't have great skill on offense, so he uses his athletic ability to go by slower 4s. He won't spread the floor because he can't shoot.

to act like he wouldn't believe a huge leap over Aminu at the 3 is comical.

Smith is obviously the better player. Never have said otherwise. But the main complaint you've had with Aminu is that he can't shoot. Well neither can Smith. To me, it doesn't make much sense to spend an extra $10-12million per year for a guy that doesn't fix what seems to be your main complaint.

Do you watch the game or just look at the box scores afterwards?

Both. Though I wasn't able to watch tonight.

I've said it many times and I'll say it again- even with injuries and with rivers/aminu playing so much, offense aint this team's problem.

You cray. Isn't that how the kids say it?

If we got the real JSmoove for $10-12 million a year, I'd learn how to do a back flip then do them.

Shawn Marion is a SF. He only plays PF when his teams play small ball. You probably think Amare and Al Horford or really center's.

And how can guys who can't shoot like Marion and Smith be "stretch" anything? "Stretch" implies that the player spreads the floor with his shooting. You crapped all over your own point.
