So Joe Smith is apparently STILL a possibility for the Celtics, because the Tyson Chandler trade was rescinded when Chandler failed his physical.
So Smith and Wilcox are back with OKC. And according to Chris Sheridan, Smith doesn't want to stay there for long.
A source who has been in the know for years tells me that Joe Smith is keeping his fingers crossed that the Thunder do not find another trade for him now that he's back in Oklahoma City.
Smith, the source said, would like to do a buyout and then sign with the Boston Celtics as this season's version of P.J. Brown.
The trade deadline is 3pm today, so let's see if OKC pulls something else by then. If not, then we'll just have to wait and see. I don't know why they'd buy him out, but they might. The Celtics, from Danny to the players, hope the team makes a move… but nothing is brewing so far.
