Bucks acquire F Patterson from Nuggets for F Smith
<br>
<br>
August 10, 2006
<br>
MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - Mercurial swingman Ruben Patterson will be changing uniforms once again.
<br>
<br>
The Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday acquired Patterson from the Denver Nuggets for forward Joe Smith, a pair of players who can become free agents next summer.
<br>
<br>
Patterson, 31, split last season with the Portland Trail Blazers and Nuggets, who acquired him in a four-team trade on February 23. The athletic 6-5 swingman averaged 12.1 points and 3.4 rebounds in 71 games between the clubs last season.
<br>
<br>
<br>
"Adding Ruben gives us added strength at the small forward position," Bucks general manager Lenny Harris said. "He's a tough, defensive-minded player who has shown an ability to score, and he also gives us added playoff experience."
<br>
<br>
Nicknamed "Captain Chaos" for his frenetic style of play, Patterson has had a history of off-court problems, including a felony domestic assault charge against his wife in 2002. He also was suspended for the first five games of the 2001-2002 season after a charge of attempted rape.
<br>
<br>
Last season, Patterson unleashed an expletive-filled tirade toward Portland coach Nate McMillan during a loss at New York in November and was sent home midway through a road trip.
<br>
<br>
"We know that Ruben's path through the NBA has been a difficult one at times," Harris said. "But we're confident that he has learned from those experiences and that he's ready to contribute to helping out team win."
<br>
<br>
Patterson has averaged 10.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 548 career games over eight seasons with Denver, Portland, Seattle and the Los Angeles Lakers. He will make $7.83 million this season, the last year of his contract.
<br>
<br>
Smith, 31, averaged 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 44 games last season, his 11th in the NBA and third with the Bucks. The veteran forward became expendable when Milwaukee acquired second-year forward Charlie Villanueva from Toronto on June 30.
<br>
<br>
"We certainly want to thank Joe for all he did for our organization during his three seasons here," Harris said. "Joe is one of the best. He was a wonderful team captain and truly embraced the Milwaukee community. We wish him well in Denver."
<br>
<br>
The top overall pick in the 1995 draft, Smith has somewhat underachieved throughout his career. The 6-10 forward has averaged 12.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in 751 career games with Milwaukee, Detroit, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Golden State.
<br>
<br>
Smith figures to be a reserve in Denver's frontcourt, which already includes star Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Nene Hilario and Eduardo Najera.
<br>
<br>
"We are excited to be able to add a solid veteran like Joe to our frontcourt," Nuggets director of player personnel Mark Warkentien said. "We believe this addition gives us one of the deepest front lines in the NBA."
<br>
<br>
Smith also is entering the final year of his contract at $6.81 million.

첫댓글 에반스가 떠날확률이 약간이라도 늘어난건가..... 미네열심히...
좋아 ^^
이거 하승진의 기회가 1%로라도 늘어났군....ㅡ>ㅡ
둘 다 지나치게 연봉을 많이 받는군..
조스미스-캠비 의 라인을 볼수 있겠꾼
그럼 캐년, 네네, 조까지 너무 많은거 아닌가요? 2번이 구멍인 팀치고................
하승진에게 조금의 기회가...
양팀 모두 잉여전력으로 또다시 잉여전력을 보충했네요..선수들의 네임밸류와 차이에 비한다면,양팀의 전력에는 별반 달라지는게 없을듯..
-_- 파포 천국 덴버.
네네는 센터로기용할수있고 그럴 능력있는선수고요 조스미스 출장시간보장되면 무난히 잘해주니 괜찮을듯싶습니다.
하지만 그들의 연봉은..
제가 좋아하는 조 가 왔군요...화려하진 않지만..성실한 플레이를 해주는 선수인데..루벤 패터슨과 조 스미스의 딜이라면 덴버가 이득 아닌가요..k-마트는 언제 트레이드될 지 모르고..넨이랑 캠비가 부상에 자주 시달리는 덴버라면 좋은 딜 인 듯~ㅋ
조수미정도면 나쁘진 않을거 같네요... 덴버는 케년 마틴 틀드소식은 없고 파포만 늘어나네;;
아싸!
왜 이런짓을...둘다 그렇게 이득 있어보이지 않는데요...
캠비-조수미...5~6년 전쯤에 내 꿈의 프론트코트 라인업...뉴욕에서 못 이룬꿈을 덴버에서 이루다니...어흐흑
스미스의 영입으로 에반스는 자리가 없어지네요..미네소타가서 가넷좀 도와줘~
덴버의 2번은 카멜로 아닌가?? 어째서 2번이 구멍인가요??
3번 멜로 2번에 아마 JR스미스가 뛸것 같은데..
