Tell him somethin' Jooooe

After completing his buyout with the Thunder and clearing waivers, Joe Smith is a Cavalier again. His re-addition basically means Danny Ferry traded Damon Jones for Mo Williams last summer. *Cough cough GM of the Year cough cough*

A lot of Cleveland blogs are applauding the move but still being cautiously optimistic. Fuck that.

Five reasons Boston should be pissing its pants:

1. Smith brings defense, rebounding, shooting and leadership to our frontcourt

2. The addition helps fill the hole left by Ben Wallace's injury

3. Now we can legitimately go 12 deep

4. He's a veteran who's hungry for a ring (like P.J. Brown last summer)

5. Joe Smith > Mikki Moore


Five reasons the Lakers should be pissing their pants:

1. Joe Smith won't forget to box out Lamar Odom

2. We now have five frontcourt regulars who are 6-foot-9 or taller

3. Smith gives us two bigs with 20-foot range

4. We're as deep as the Lakers without everybody healthy

5. The way the rest of the schedule sets up, L.A. will likely start in Cleveland if the two teams reach the Finals


Five reasons Orlando should be pissing its pants:

1. We've added another big man while the Magic continue to play only one

2. Six extra fouls to use on Dwight Howard

3. Smith has veteran savvy the Magic can barely match with their whole roster

4. He's another spot-up guy to respond to Orlando's inevitable stretches of hot shooting

5. Despite Wallace's injury, we won't fall back toward the Magic in the standings


Five reasons the Clippers should be pissing their pants:

1. You're the Clippers

2. You're the Clippers

3. You're the Clippers

4. You're the Clippers

5. You're the Clippers
