We can't get Smith without giving a 1 or 2 1st round draft pick. In addition
Golden State is trying to create cap room so they won't take Brown and with
Donyell playing so well, they have no use for McCarthy.

I think Joe Smith fits our system to a tee. He can play SF or  PF, is very
quick, has a great elevation and a nice offensive game. With Smith in our
lineup opposing teams won't be able to guard Walker with small forwards.

I like Wallace too but I don't see Raptors trading him for anything less
than a player + 1st round pick  because the Raptors have already given their
pick in that trade. I haven't watched Wallace play lately but I would put
Smith ahead of Wallace, though not by much.
