Brotha2ThaNite Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Could it be that he takes his Captain of the team seriously? :-) This is one reason why I have always stood strong with Smoove. Year after year he shows how much he really loves this team. The media have been on this guy from day one but all he does is get better every year. Add working with the Dream during the summer. This year I think things changed. More former NBA backed him on his skill/work. [*]Chris Webber and other former NBA players took to twitter upset over his snub as an All-Star Player. [*]I heard Kenny The Jet Go at is with one of the host of 790 The Zone sports talk radio show. Saying the guy does so many good things for the Hawks, you have to live with some of the bad jumpers because he’s showing he is getting better at shooting them. [*]Barkley called him the best player on our team. [*]The biggest sign is when Danny Boy came in and proved he will trade the true issues with these team (ie Joe and Marvin’s contracts). Funny how Danny kept the 3 players Barkley said were our top 3 players… Josh, Al and Teague. Sure some of you are going to say he was talking contract talk. Smoove doesn’t need to be out in Vegas to do that. He was out there because Danny wants to show him he is doing what Smoove have wanted. That is to make HIS/your favorite team, Hawks, a better team. Love Smoove or hate him… I have said it time and time again… He loves your team more than you know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Plausible explanation. We need his Mature leadership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The only way I want Smoove off the Hawks is if he wants out. It seems like the only time people notice him is when he misses a jumper. I guess all the good stuff he does is either blinded by hate or taken for granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wonder if df has told him "this is your team" and he's showing leadership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think this is the year all the gradual improvement manifests itself into an All Star appearance and maybe even an All NBA nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 To be honest the guy (smith) never really demanded a trade from the hawks! Not once did he say I want to be traded away from this team, however he has said that the team acts as if they don't want him and that was said due to the contract the ASG offered him, to smith it wasn't enough. Smith frustration also was due to him thinking that the hawks didn't promote him good enough for the all star game.Smith doesn't want out of ATL he just wants respect and now that ferry is here he can get that respect.

sillent Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Imagine a lot more games like the OKC one last year where he took over playing within himself and using his versatility. He can kill a team from all over the floor on both ends!! I just pray that the opposition is the team that he's killing. It's going to be a different team with Josh and Al running the show!!

MaceCase Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 He does tend to live in LA during the offseason so Vegas is a about a hop over. Know Ferry said he talked with him but I don't know if he actually met with him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsslomotionbaby Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 he probably just wanted to see if jenkins was the real deal,i think he realises with joe gone its time to shine & that he might be getting the brunt of the doubleteams.i think one the greatest measures of respect during the season that greatly flew under the radar waswhen we played the heat in miami late in the season & the game was close ,near the end they put lebron james on him to stop him from even gettingthe ball.

Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 16, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Why was Smoove at the game? . What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... lol But seriously, I am not sure, but I thought it was strange that he was sitting 5 rows in front of Ferry. It appeared that Smoove was with an agent of his, which points in the direction of extension talks. Then again, he could have just been there to show his support for the Atlanta Hawks and that was just friend he was with. Either way, it was interesting because it appears that Josh has bought into Ferry's plan and may be staying with the Hawks long term. I don't think Smoove would be there if Sund was the one still in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jody23 Posted July 16, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah, it says something that a player of Josh's caliber would be in attendance at a summer league game when there's absolutely no reason for him to be there.
