Josh Smith to Kings "deal is imminent, source says"

[KempSonics]

No one is reporting that a trade is imminent.

[UK2K]

Smith is literally 100 times better for Cousins than Jason Thompson or any PF we have, he's super athletic and can finish above the rim and actually catch and finish Cousins passes. Smith also has averaged 3-4 apg most his career and can actually pass the ball at a decent level.

The defence as well him and Cousins both average over 1 block and 1 steal per game, they can cause havoc in passing lanes and Smith will block shots as a PF.

Smith also takes 3x as many shots as Thompson does.

[Rake2204]

The Gay Smith Cousins trio that could emerge from this deal would be interesting to say the least.

He obviously won't take as many shots with the Kings.......

[hawksdogsbraves]

I wouldn't want Josh Smith on my team under pretty much any circumstances.

That being said, I don't hate it for the Kings. What do they have to lose? If they can get Josh under control, (ie only taking like 10 shots per game) then they could make that front court work.

That is what the Pistons thought. Smith is a serial offender when it comes to taking bad shot and disrupting the flow of the offense.

I am going to hold my complaint until 10 games into the season.

That is what the Pistons thought. Smith is a serial offender when it comes to taking bad shot and disrupting the flow of the offense.

He was the most talented player on the Pistons he's the 3rd most talented on the Kings, he won't be "the man" in Sacramento.

Man watch this video please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1YXc4k2CPY

That's some confirmation.

could be a good trade if the kings trade Gay for Rondo

Rajon Rondo / Darren Collison
Nik Stauskas
Ben McLemore
Josh Smith
Demarcus Cousins

I honestly think Rondo would be the best thing for those low-iq knucklehead chuckers.

Now this would be a very interesting team.

I still don't think they make the playoffs though, a Stauskas/McLemore combo at the 2/3 is ridiculously, hilariously, horrible.

I'd guess Boston would include Green as part of the deal and he'd probably start at the 3

Stauskas could be the next great white hope. McLemore sucks though, Shawn Marion is a free agent, he could be a decent stop gap.

I would cvm if we get Rondo + Green

I agree. (nice quick edit, btw). If Kings land Jsmoove, they HAVE to try to get Rondo, preferably by giving up Gay and whatever else the Celts want. Rondo is the only guy who can keep it all in check w/ that potential roster.

The only untouchables should be Stauskas and Cousins (and JSmoove obviously). I say try to get Greg Monroe involved in a 3-team trade to send him to Celts.

Kings get - Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith, Jeff Green
Celts get - Greg Monroe, Derrick Williams, Kings 2016 1st rnd pick
Pistons get - Rudy Gay, Jason Thompson, $7m trade exception, Kings 2017 1st rnd pick

Kings roster would look like...:

Cousins
JSmoove
Jeff Green
McLemore
Rondo
-------
Landry
REvans
Acy
TOutlaw
Stauskas
McCallum Jr
DCollison

Still need a backup C, but I like that roster...kinda.
