Smith Looking At Possible Knee Surgery
Smith, who has been the team's starting power forward, has been plagued by knee problems since training camp. Smith told me last week he had his left knee drained and had also received a pain-kllling injection. The knee seemingly got better after the treatment, but in the last several days, the knee started flaring up again. Smith didn't play against the Detroit Pistons last Saturday night at the Bradley Center, and he didn't play Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks at the BC. "It's been frustrating,'' Smith said after the Mavericks' game. "It was getting better and then there were problems again. We've done all the necessary things ... If it doesn't get better sooner, that (surgery) would be the next thing to do. We're going to play it by ear.''

Lenard had not played in six consecutive games before seeing his first action in nearly two weeks Monday night against the New Jersey Nets. Before scoring four points in 17 minutes, Lenard had played a total of 19 minutes since losing his starting job to DerMarr Johnson on Nov. 13. During a meeting with Vandeweghe last week, Lenard did not ask to be traded, but Bell inquired about the possibility of a trade if the pattern of inactivity continues. "I said (to Bell), 'I'm open to it,' but we're not there yet," Vandeweghe said Monday. "I definitely think he wants to be here first." A source said that the Milwaukee Bucks also have shown interest in Lenard and predicted he would be traded by Christmas.
