Otis Smith says Orlando doesn't have interest in acquiring Joe Smith of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"Did those rumors say what we are giving up for him? What am I going to do with another big? Am I just collecting them?" Smith said.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will attempt to trade veteran forward Joe Smith after adding Nenad Krstic.

The Raptors, Heat, and Magic are three teams believed to be interested in Smith.

The Wizards defeated the Thunder on Saturday night in an unwanted historic NBA game.

Until now there had never been an NBA game with two teams that had played at least 25 games and had the two worst records in the league, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"I don't feel we're a three-win team," Oklahoma City interim coach Scott Brooks said. "Unfortunately, we are."

Washington went into the game 4-23, while Oklahoma City entered the game 3-27.

"In abnormal circumstances, every game is a must-win," Wizards interim coach Ed Tapscott said.

It is believed that the Bucks have an offer on the table that would send guard Tyronn Lue to the Lakers for center Chris Mihm.

There have also been rumors that Lue could be dealt to Oklahoma City, perhaps as part of a package deal with teammate Charlie Villanueva.

Milwaukee is looking to solidifying their power forward position, and have a number of guards under contract.

Kevin Durant will debut his customized Nike shoes, and they have been unveiled on the BentItLikeBennett blog.

They resemble clown shoes or something that Ronald McDonald would wear.

The Oklahoman reports that he will first wear them on Saturday night against the Wizards.

After passing up a chance to win the game against Utah last week, Allen Iverson was taking no chances against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.

According to the Associated Press, Iverson hit a runner with 0.2 seconds to give his Pistons a 90-88 win.

"The play was for me to run the clock down and try to get to the basket," he said. "There wasn't much time for me to create anything else."

"That was a great play by Allen," Pistons' Coach Michael Curry said. "He hadn't had much going for him in the first three quarters, but then he took over the game."
