Re: smoke and trades

["Michael J. King Sr." <kingpin@primenet.com>]

I prefer the Warriors deal though, Joe Smith is a scoring forward who can
play both at both the 3 and 4 positions pretty well. If he can bring his
game to his rookie year level he will be a steal. I see the following five
player deal making sense:

Billups + Jones + Thomas <-> Smith + Delk

The deal helps us in getting rid of some players aquired in the knicks trade
and also helps the warriors who get some pretty atheletic players in
addition to Billups. - MIshra
