In all honesty, I like the deal I got better, from what I've seen out of Smith and Gibson.

Now two years ago, Smith was scoring 17ppg for me.

However, I think Collins is the better player. Even better then the packaged deal.

I would have voted both, but he could have gotten younger and Cap, maybe if he'd waited till the end of the season. Collins is a decent expiring.

Collins is good. I'm not going to get much younger than Gibson and Smith is fine, but he's a backup. I'm trying to acquire assets or players that have some value. I think Gibson will have a very good tc and I love Smith backing up Pietrus at shooting guard for me. I'll miss Collins rebounding and all, but I want Beasley to play. Gibson can play power forward also anyway. Both teams got what they wanted, but the Clips dont' give up a lot of pt for getting a player that will probably be an option.

i think that taj is just waiting to blow up, and if/when he does is gonna be well worth it. collins is one heck of a scorer but really lacks it on the defensive end. i think the jazz made a strong move to get beasley a starting role while picking up some good depth and the clipps pick up one heck of a scoring big. i like it for both

[Memphis]

they both got what they needed
