That's a question of whether you'd give up the sure thing in Smith for Oden's potential. That, of course, is debatable. No question.
Roberts is our 6th guard, Miller is essentially our fourth option to get SF min behind AFA Evans and Morrow, Thomas is all but the last guy on the roster. All of those guys are fairly replaceable; you don't turn down a move based on those guys. Smith is better than that, and he'd be the guy to weigh here.
Over dramaticized or not, the point I was making was that going for is as it stands right now, Jason Smith is better than G.O. Miller is up and coming and plays with energy, though by what Ive read on here he isn't having a great SL. And Roberts will probably be one of our best bargaining chips toward the trade deadline...From a business standpoint, doing all three of those things to acquire a 7'0 stained glass window is kind of lacking...
I wouldn't give up Smith he's too much of an energy guy to give up just based on potential

To add another player to this list...Houston waived their D-League center Tim Ohlbrecht, from Germany...Looking at the D-league stats on his bio from NBA.com, he posted 13.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.1 spg, 1.6 bpg, with a FT% of .811 in 26.6 mpg. If we're looking at potential, why not look at someone who's 6'11, 255 lbs and roll the dice on new potential?
Did Oden got to Germany for the secret bear stem cell injections to his knees like Kobe?
He's been goin through some deep "Yoga like" workouts that strengthens your legs, tendons and stuff. It's very underrated for athletes with bad leg, knees etc. it's sorta a miracle for with it can do, so I don't rule out of him becoming a 10-18 minute guy with his big frame.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
Absolutely. I know a little bit about yoga and I don't see why a lot of athletes don't do things like it. When you said that it reminded me of Mek doing that and one of his coaches (can't remember who) making fun of him for it. Dude's extremely healthy because of it.
Ok....Here's one more C , after looking at who is left according to NBA.com, we should at....Byron Mullins. 4 years in league. 7'0 275. Last year, in26.9 mpg, avged 10.6 ppg and 6.4 rpg , along with almost 1 bpg and 1 spg. Didn't receive a qualifying offer from Charlotte, and no news has been posted about anyone signing him....Looking at his career progression, with more minutes, his offense has improved, albeit with a lower FT %, but for someone to come in and play for 10-15 mins, why not?
On Byron Mullens. I watched a ton of him last year, I watch a lot of the Bobcats games. He is beyond useless. As PelicansFan said, he is a terrible rebounder, and a bad defender, and this past year, he had a terrible habit of doing nothing on the offensive end, but shooting 3's. And as for Oden. Rumor is that he will choose between the Spurs, and Heat, but, lets just say he were to choose us. There is no way in hell I would get rid of Jason Smith, who does all the dirty work, and is one of the best spot up bigs in the league, to take a chance on Oden. I think in that scenario, Lance Thomas would be the odd man out, as Jason Smith can play the 4, or 5.
That makes sense. On a side note, I think we signed Stiemsma to cap space, so do we still have our room exception? It would make the rumors that we're offering Oden close to $3 million makes sense, because the room exception is something like $2.7 million.
http://www.nola.com/pelicans/index.s...medium=twitterThomas , meanwhile, was waived by the Pelicans last Wednesday to clear salary cap space for the franchise to sign center Greg Stiemsma. If the Pelicans had not waived Thomas, he would have been guaranteed to earn $884,293 this upcoming season.
