Depends what Atlanta offers him obviously but call me the next time a player foregoes the extra Bird year that his original team can offer him.

he becomes the PF, josh is a much better defender, rebounder and shotblocker than anyone we have on this team... he comes off as a knucklehead some times but his ball IQ is pretty much on par with that of carmelo or even amare...... If we are going to be a defensive team, he isn't a bad player to have.. he solves a lot of issues for us.. athleticism, defense,rebounding....
just a thought.. heck the hawks might not even do it.. they are in cost cutting mode as well..

We're not getting Josh Smith, but if we did, he's probably not a top 5 defender on this team. Nor would he be our best rebounder or shot blocker.

He hates Melo. He even went as far as say Kevin Martin was better than him.

you mean the same team that has advanced farther in the playoffs with him as their best player than us?
the same team that has won more than 1 playoff game?
