Mavs can see Josh Smith filling Wright role DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks never had any interest in Josh Smith when he was a jumper-happy forward seeking a starting job and a high salary. But they ’d love to have Smith as a bargain-priced bench player, in particular as a replacement for traded backup big man Brandan Wright. ESPN.com’s Marc Stein reports that the Mavs, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers are among the teams that will have interest in Smith when he clears waivers Wednesday. The Detroit Pistons released Smith on Monday less than halfway into his four-year, $54 million deal. The Mavs can offer Smith only the veteran’s minimum if he wants to reunite with their new point guard Rajon Rondo, Smith's teammate and roommate at high school basketball powerhouse Oak Hill Academy. The Mavs can’t offer Smith a starting role, but they can give him an opportunity to be an impact player for a contender. The springy, 6-foot-9 Smith has seen only extremely limited spot duty at center during his 11-year NBA career. However, Wright had hardly played center before arriving in Dallas and thrived at the position in the Mavs’ pick-and-roll-intensive offense, averaging 8.8 points on a league-high field goal percentage (74.8) in 18.7 minutes per game. A team source told ESPNDallas.com that the Mavs believe Smith could succeed in Wright’s old role plus get some minutes at power forward. With the Pistons, Smith was one of the least efficient offensive forwards in the NBA, shooting an awful 41.3 percent from the floor during his Detroit tenure. However, at 29, Smith is still an excellent athlete capable of replicating Wright’s strengths as an above-the-rim finisher and weakside shot-blocker against second units. Smith’s field goal percentage and efficiency ratings would soar if, like Wright, a large portion of his shots came off lob passes on pick-and-rolls or penetration from the Mavs’ arsenal of paint attackers. It’s also reasonable to anticipate that Smith would average at least 25 minutes per game off the Mavs’ bench, seeing spot duty at power forward and a lot of time at center with Nowitzki on the floor, a pairing that greatly benefited Wright. Other teams will be able to offer Smith more money and a starting job. The Mavs can give him a chance to change his reputation and redefine his game while playing for a contender. ESPN Dallas談論到今天被waive的Josh Smith 小牛本來對他完全沒興趣但是在Wright走了之後小牛需要一個替補的角色 Smith的得分能力比賴打強許多而且小牛不需要他投外線除了身高不夠賴打能做的Smith應該都做得到(擋拆、巴火鍋等等) 小牛簽下Smith的優勢 1. Rondo與Smith是高中隊友也是好麻吉 2. 能來有競爭冠軍能力的球隊小牛的劣勢 1. 只有老將底薪 2. 只有替補可打其實光看上面真的很難想像Smith想來論條件有更好的球隊(希望不要資敵QQ ex:火箭) 而且其實Smith的高度還是不太夠能不能打Wright那套也難說就隨緣看看之後的發展吧 http://tinyurl.com/q72y9g9 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 163.21.9.6 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Mavericks/M.1419296954.A.F00.html
