ESPN “analyst” Steven A. Smith insisted that the team do whatever it takes to get Memphis point guard Derrick Rose.

“Keep in mind y’all, the Atlanta Hawks are in the postseason this year,” Smith screamed at, told Chris McKendry the other night on SportsCenter. “They’re not even a .500 team. Trust me. The New York Knicks will be able to compete for a playoff spot if they got a leader. Derrick Rose. Memphis. I keep saying that. Derrick Rose Memphis. I don’t care what you gotta do. Fix the ping pong balls, do something. Get him. Get him.”

SAS is such an easy target and this one is just too easy, and maybe a little reach. But you mean to tell us, seriously, the best move for a team in desperate need of a franchise point guard is to invent ways to get him and we’re supposed to accept that as analysis?

Thanks SAS, what would the basketball world do without you.
