Yeah I would love for my beloved Lakers to get Josh Smith.this would be a major piece to getting back on top.Smith is young athletic. Can play inside out.run floor n rebound n get a few blocks from time to time ..really good perimeter defender. And can play multiple positions ..something we really need. Hopefully Jim asshole buss doesn't screw this nice marriage up for Kobe the great
