Sun Jul 13 2014 | 08:38 | Dallas acquires Greg Smith from Chicago |
The Mavericks have acquired Greg Smith from the Bulls. |
Details have yet to be released on the deal, but it's essentially just a salary dumping move for Chicago to make room for Pau Gasol. Smith played 11 games for the Rockets last season before being waived in April. The Bulls then picked him up just before the season ended, and now he will be moved to Dallas. Smith boasts career averages of 5.3 points, and 2.5 rebounds per game, so he's not an option from a fantasy perspective. |

Greg Smith is likely to be traded to the Mavericks. |
It's just a salary dump with Smith's deal at around $1 million for next season. The Bulls traded for him late in the year after the Rockets gave up on him. Smith had knee trouble for much of the season and maybe a full offseason can help him out. |

The Rockets kept him out of the lineup on Wednesday and he's been bothered by knee injuries for much of the season. Terrence Jones has been the main option at center behind Dwight Howard on top of his duties at power forward, but Smith's return shouldn't hurt his overall output much. |
