Josh Smith Wants to be Sold in Atlanta, but Who is Buying?

Josh Smith Wants to be Sold in Atlanta, but Who is Buying?: Of course, Josh Smith wants traded Atlanta Hawks. It was not a week that has passed from Atlanta was selected in 2004 draft, as Smith and his team is not considering the possibility of a division. Atlanta will move type to find a more orthodox threat within the pairs and / or replacement of the injured Al Horford and a point close to the All-Star guard break things when the Hawks were a crime. But Josh Smith, buy one.

Here's how to Smith, two fans, media and other teams. We respect the heck out of him when he was all together, but we are not interested. Fans of the 29 other NBA teams will be reading this column, and gifts while you enjoy Smith, would you like his style of play and before the fall of the mind and in your team, his eight-digit rates, while in order to give something important back to Atlanta in exchange?

Probably not. Even the ends of transactions, as Bill Simmons thought here seems to be too many for whom it was $ 13 million next season. This is all that is related to the average Smith, because if they are impressive (17 points, 10 rebounds, three and a half blocks and steals combined), they are just average. They are after all the game stats on the settlement, and not something you can count on every night.

Smith was All-Star this year. This is very good, and his contributions are of such a level of recognition. But it remains the ultimate "No, we're good" players. No, unlike Andre Iguodala brilliant Philadelphia, Smith around the contributions imposed by the team to rise above, but they do not put the team on top. If this is not a very good team. In contrast, Iguodala, however, Smith is not compatible, and still relies on the talent for doing this stat sheet. This is not the case, selfishness, it just stuck for eight years in.

That is why it is a luxury player. Someone has to trade in Dallas, if it was two years ago. Who you do not mind writing off when a long series of rounds the corner of two, instead of the window, because it is not so important (even though All-Star gifts), the other four go to the guy for a very good team. And if your team is not very good, and do not mind paying through the teeth of a contract to Smith, there is no reason to your team.

In the financial landscape, even with the Los Angeles Lakers potentially cut their championship hopes to save luxury tax, which will take on Josh Smith? Respect him as a rival, of course. But in your team? No, we're good.

For the same reason Atlanta is likely to ignore requests from trade. Because they have proven over half a decade, they are happy where they are. Middle East in the package, not a lot of potential to move up (matches, even at full power, simply do not exist), but still able to make it revenue in the playoffs, even if an important part (as Al Horford this season) down with the trauma.

With or without Al, Hawks need Smith. They need to fill in the gaps, and are willing to pay big money and ignore the terrible shot a series of his instincts to do it.

They are right to, among other things, because Smith is an expert defense counsel, when he was hired, and he set all kinds of goods for this crime predictable random Hawks because of its ability to cause turnovers or type (if not the box) rebounds from the two ends. In any other team using it well, it would be an unaffordable luxury. But as the Hawks are so attached to this brand basketball because of their financial decisions and staff, Josh Smith is an absolute necessity.

Smith (or, rather, a friend of Smith) is a right and wrong when it comes to discussing commitments Atlanta championship. In terms of salary and expenses, LeBron James level of cash on Joe Johnson, they are very committed to the championship level scheme. It focuses on those people, including Smith, which is why we can not write off the Hawks are not as "seeking to win the championship."

Another part of this passage is the most boring. Players who are not fans voted All-Star starter to make the team a voice coach. And the head coaches sometimes put pressure on other coaches in the head, affecting their assistants, to vote for certain players. Or send a team of advertising products for teams hoping to influence the vote.

The problem is that the assistant coach in the NBA filled with equally old bark type of school and new school of thinkers who have a statistics sheet in their hotel room than they do friends facebook. And on both sides ("bad attitude, and not on the field", "27 percent occurs in the long pointers, to date, the worst hit ice"), there is a reason to abandon Smith, although it is likely she was All-Star. No amount of propaganda head coach Larry Drew or office in Atlanta in front made a difference. While, yes, it probably should have been in this team.

Stuck in another season of the same thing in Atlanta, boredom Smith (and the people close to him) became obsessed with it. Because, with Smith and hawks, all will always be the same.

Thus, after the trading period March 15, they are likely to be even with each other.
