From FoxSports.com:
Atlanta Hawks (37-45)
If the Hawks match what restricted free-agent forward Josh Smith commands on an offer sheet, Atlanta could be in business.
Point guard Mike Bibby should make a difference over the course of a full season, while Smith, Marvin Williams and sophomore Al Horford will boost the win total through simple, chronological improvement.
Joe Johnson, who's always been hard to guard, could lead a push for 50 wins.
It's a puff piece, but wanted the share the warm fuzzies.

haha, that would probably be the ceiling yeah... not signing Smith might just knock us off that list.

I hate to be negative but I can actually see this team playing another season of below .500 ball/

We still have Woodson at head coach. We have very limited depth to absorb any injuries. Those factors could very easily result in a losing season. I won't be surprised by anything from 30-50 wins for the team. Outside of that range and I'll be shocked either by the good fortune or bad.
