Nets, Hawks agree to Joe Johnson deal (Page 10)

[GrimeyKidd]

^ Their is a slight possibility that the team will be better now that Joe left, due to chemistry, just like when Al Harrington left.

No questions, we had some serious chemistry issues, but we'll see if it improves now that Joe Johnson is gone. I believe many of our chemistry issues is because of Josh Smith.

Because of josh smiths shots. If he improves his shot. And learns when and when not to take them i think we can improve together.

I dont know about you guys but iso Joe all those years has really been getting on my nerves

The idea of moving Smoove to SF really scares me though. I think he will feel compelled to shoot more from outside. If we get RLewis, maybe that's not the case, but that isn't for sure. Josh is just not that good a shooter, and we need to find a way to get him to play inside 18 ft. Now, if Drew would have Josh/Horford and Teague/Harris do some pick-n-roll/pop stuff, I think they would be really difficult to stop. Stick some shooters around them and you have a tough offense to defend.

Josh is a great PF but he is actually an above average and efficient SF.

in 2010-2011 Collins started at center and Josh started at SF for 25 games, in those 25 games, Josh shot .361% from three (61 attempts/22 made).

in that year, Josh was also not only one of the best passing SFs but also one of the most efficient passers. Josh had 255 assist, and had one of the best turnover assist ratios among SFs (top 4, only behind Lebron, Iguodala, and Pierce)

Thank you but sometimes I feel as if I'm the dumbest guy on the board.

Back to basketball - as was just stated, even if we don't sign a major FA, this is a very positive step for the Hawks: we're cleaner and more able to add talent to our roster. Smith, Horford, Teague and 1st round pick-level talents at Center and SG make us a good team. We're adding a 1st rounder to SG in Jenkins this year and adding possibly 2 1st rounders next year.

And if Horford and Smith can grow in the new structure, we could be very good.

Funny guy. HMFFL

I had to take out some garbage once again. We should be good for the time being now.
