we got the old smoove back

[WakaFlocka]

Saw this a little bit ago and I'm really happy to see that Josh took the lockout seriously and bettered himself. No homo, but he looks great, much better than the pudgy look he had going on last year. I really, really hope that we don't trade him.

[HawksFan87]

where is the savior al horford?? If smoove was really demanding a trade no reason for him to show up voluntarily. And Jefferson is trash no thank u.

[Wurider05]

I know Utah doesn't need Josh or a Sf that was why I said we would need to find a 3rd team.

Dragitoff in case you haven't heard both Milsap and Jefferson are on the block!!!

I wonder how much Josh weighs now? Considering he was listed at 240 last year, he looks to be around 215 now (just a guess). If that's the case, he definitely will be spending some time at the 3 this year.

[AHawks89]

I think he lost 30lbs, or at least that's what I've heard. Glad to see Josh do some work during the off season, not to mention he was the first person to show up at the facility.

[AHawks89]

Don't want to go in the game busted & disgusted. LOL.

"J-Slim" - I love it already. Best news we've had in weeks.

[niremetal]

Yeah. Because what we really needed was for Smoove to be even more convinced that he belongs on the perimeter.

LOL I was getting ready to post that with the EXACT same quote...

i dont see why yo guys talk as if J-Smoove can't learn

he didn't have a post game and got with the dream

he couldn't shoot threes and he worked on that............wasnt great but did improve

i think he could learn how to dribble and have a good 15 ft shot

i want to see pictures of marvin some people are saying he since he got his back worked on he is walking up right '

and looks an inch or 2 taller

Agreed. If, as we now believe, Marvin has been playing with a bad back and now it's been fixed,

perhaps we have a "New and improved Marvin."

At last, something exciting to post about since there seems to be a "Mini" season coming up!

GO HAWKS!!

(And Merry Christmas to all NBA fans - - since this is when we begin again)

No truth to the rumor Marvin's been working on a remake of an old Skee-Lo video. :)

Wow he definitely looks like a SF.

[hawkman]

Wow he definitely looks like a SF.

People complain about Smoove but he always shows that he's been working on something during the offseason. Whether it's his skills or physique, he seems to be very intent on improving his game every season.

[lethalweapon3]

Wow he definitely looks like a SF.

Somewhere in the world today, Zaza Pachulia cracked a smile.

My theory, fwiw, is that Smoove is attempting to make himself as attractive a trade piece as he can... between the early arrival and the weight loss, that's plausibly a positive sign to some GMs that otherwise might be less enthusiastic. I'm also suspicious that the Kanter rumors were as serious as speculated back in June... it would make a lot of sense to unload Smoove for an under-the-cap team's rookie salary anyhow, since it conceivably could allow Sund to plausible bid to bring Crawford back.

[JohnnyCASH]

everyone is talking about trading josh smith just watch this video and imagine that 30 pounds lighter

[AHawks89]

It seems like only Atlanta fans, not just in basketball, but in general never appreciate the players they have. Any team/fan in the NBA would love to have Josh Smith, but it seems like our fans are never thankful for the talent we have in Josh Smith, or any players in any other Atlanta sport. It's sad and pathetic.

[Wurider05]

Ahawks89 that fact that we (if rumors are true) couldn't get a draft pick from Minnoesota for Josh should say all we need to know.
