Good Signing.Dolfan, what twitter sidebar?

To the people saying we have 2 stars, you are false. Though Smoove put up the numbers he still wasn't an allstar. Also, you have to remember the only reason he put those numbers up were because Horford was out. Not saying he wasn't deserving of being an allstar but Horford is really the only true allstar on the team.

But now Joe is gone instead of Horford. Same situation basically.

If we not going to get Dwight and not going to get Chris Paul then what will Ferry do to improve this team?

Don't ever try to belittle either before I come to see you in Seattle and it won't be nice either.

Ahh silky silky now lol

Lol. If the aforementioned things are just "ticky tack", then I would really hate to see what a real diva is like.

They are bro. Hes not perfect but DIva? Nah

ticky tack

People just make up shit on Josh Smith on here. How is Smith a diva? smh

We will win 43-46 games assuming we don't get Howard this season. We will see how good of a coach Larry Drew really is since he can't rely on iso Joe. I think Smoove becomes more efficient this season while putting up 22/8(18/8 at worst)+ and Boss do what he usually do putting up at least 18/10.Hopefully Dwight and Chris Paul can say "Hey this Hawks team was pretty good. If I go there it will be a championship team"

Did a couple of yall HAVE to bring up the fact that you don't want Smith on the team in this thread? -__- really?Anyway, If what Wurider said is true than I'm pretty sure he won't come to ATL. If he do he won't resign.

Dwight has 5 kids by 5 different women? -___-

No.

Josh offensively will for ever be a 15-19 ppg guy. Hes a good 2nd or 3rd option to a true #option.Here come the Smoove haters.

Can you build a championship team AROUND Josh Smith meaning the offense focuses around him...NO! You can't build nothing AROUND Al Horford either lets be honest.Josh Smith is a player you put besides a superstar and build a championship team WITH. He is basically Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh. Great 2nd or 3rd option but not 1st.But this is about to turn into a "Josh Smith can't shoot" and "Josh Smith has low BBIQ" thread.

Only the size of Smith and Horford if they play as a PF & C combo concerns me SOMETIMES. Other than that they have good chemistry together. Leadership won't be an issue. Not worried about them offensively since we SHOULDN'T run a iso heavy offense with Joe out. What we NEED is a solid starting C.Sometimes you guys overthink things.

Will be so happy when Josh gets traded for a legit C.

Good luck with that bro

If the Nets get Howard what will we(Hawks) do? Teague, Smith and Horford gets us in the playoffs still but I doubt that's the plan of ferry.

Thank you Joe,

It was trending yesterday at the very top. Yes, I do think Joe gets traded this offseason.

Hawks aren't trading Josh tonight or tomorrow so don't get your hopes up or down.

Can't comment on the Andre Jones comparison cause I don't watch baseball. He became trash and irrelevant when he left the Braves. I don't think that will be the Case with Josh.But if he does get traded it will be very sad. I'm 22. The first year I really started watching the Hawks was the last year Jason Terry was here(one of my favorite players). 2004 was the first draft I ever watched. So I had an emotional attachment to Smith and Childress but mainly Smith. Don't get me wrong, I like Horford and Teague too. Will I still root for the Hawks? Yes. Will I root for Smith to be very successful in whatever team he ends up? Yes and I will also be excited for him. So if he ends up in Houston then Houston will be my favorite team out west.

He doesn't have a choice, he's not Joe. No one is paying top dollar for Josh. No one. Josh would get more money from a cast off team. Teams like LAL, DEN and NJ don't have money. A team like New Orleans has Eric Gordon and money to sign other guys. Josh isn't a championship player. The most he will get is 10-12 which is probably from the team that has him. Quit talking about Josh as if he's Melo or Joe. There is a reason he is never on the All Star team of even in serious consideration for the All NBA.

I didn't say he is Melo. It's a FACT that DEN tried to get Smith but ATL turned it down. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but common sense sense says he won't sign to those teams you mentioned. If he does I'll delete my account here.

Hes not signing with any of those teams 40. I'm telling you that right now. He'll take less money to play with LAL, DEN, HOU, NJ, or DAL.

But Magic is doing what I like to call the Lure tactic. The Lure Tactic is when someone just throws a random idea out there in the air in hopes that the person/people he wants to hear it takes his/her suggestion. Hes hoping LAL be like "wow we could get Josh Smith for Pau Gasol? How come we never thought of that till now? Thanks Magic".

If the Lakers want Smith it's because of 2 reasons1) They want a better, glorified, younger version of Lamar Odom.2) They need athletesIf I'm the Lakers I will do this in a heartbeat. If Josh doesn't want to be in ATL then you have to trade him. I doubt he will refuse to go to LA.What Jody23 said about no bad team trading a high lottery for Smith is what I said a week or so ago.Whats up with folks not wanting to trade Smith to a good team? Are you guys afraid of him blowing up somewhere else and making you look like fools or something? Don't matter where you trade him as long as you get equal(or somewhere around) quality in return.

Isn't Josh Smith in the last year of his contract? Why would a team that Smith most likely would not resign with trade for him? Do you guys not think?Don't worry about where you trade players just get equal or fair trade value for them.

Everything he said is right. EVERYTHING. Hell if Adolf Hitler came back and said this I'll be like "You know what Adolf you right".
