Offseason Thread Part III: Revenge of the Smith (p.47 post 554)

Recommended Posts

I thought it was neat seeing Dwight and Jameer talking to each other on draft night. Who knew they would be teammates that help turn around this franchise.

Yeah, that was cool. Jameer looks the same but Dwight changed a lot

I saw this on realgm. Anyone notice that all the teams Josh Smith picked, they can sign Dwight if he opts out? Dwight trying to pull a fast one?

they can't sign Dwight if they trade for Smith....

The best organizations in the NBA play their cards close enough to their vests so that word doesn't leak out about their roster moves until right before the moves take place. There's a very good reason for that. Simply put, the teams don't want to have to explain to their players why they weren't traded when the rumored talks fall through. It creates bad blood and can destroy the team chemistry that is so important for teams hoping to make championship runs.

 

Today's case in point is the Atlanta Hawks. Bring up the Hawks in the company of NBA pundits and you're going to hear two basic discussions taking place. The first is why the team decided to pay Joe Johnson more than Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki or Dwyane Wade, but almost immediately thereafter the subject of trading Josh Smith sets in. Where will Josh Smith be traded? What do the Hawks need to get back?

 

It was only a matter of time before Smith himself became annoyed with the trade talks, and they've been going on for so long that he now sounds ready to move on.

 

Now, according to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski, Smith is ready to put and end to the endless rumors and speculation and just move on. Wojnarowski even goes so far as to suggest that Smith has named the teams for which he would like to play - the Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets or the Orlando Magic.

The top HS player and the top collegiate player talking. We got them both. Pretty awesome. Wish we had a few more pieces. Dammit.
