    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There are at least two, blockbuster sign-and-trade proposals the Hawks are chewing on regarding Smith (one from a Western Conference power and the other from an Eastern Conference big dog) that could dramatically change the landscape in Hawksville.</div>

    Who do you think the teams are? Lakers? Mavs? Pistons? I was thinking he might end up with Philly before they got Brand.

    I know I just made a really long post about how we should never entertain trading Sean Williams, but if it's for Josh Smith then hell yeah.

    edit: but what's up with the Hawks finally becoming a decent team, making the playoffs, and then quitting while they're ahead? Cold feet?

    I could see Pistons and Lakers. Definitely real possibilities.

    That also wouldn't be very fair if it was the Lakers.

    probably the same teams that are pursuing Artest.

    The warriors have the young talent to trade away and PF is the only open spot on a good developing team. I've got to figure smith would love to play for Nelson. I don't think Mullin's done making moves and have thought for a while Smith or Okafor could be a possibility.

    theres a trade rumor of a three way trade involving Atlanta, Golden State and Minnesota.

    rumored pieces from:

    Golden State: Brandan Wright & Bellinelli

    Minnesota: McCants, Carney, Trade exception, Booth (Exp contract) and 1 or 2 of Minnesota's many future 1st Rounders.

    Nothing yet on what the Hawks would be giving up, but with this many moving pieces...onw might assume it's Smith....hmmm

    Why Sund, WHY! I don't get this at all. We make the playoffs, have great chemistry and now we want to trade away our best players. I mean, I don't want to give up Smith for anything.

    But you can't build around Smith! [​IMG]

    If you're giving up Williams, expirings, and, lets say, the Mavs pick, then you do it in a heart beat.
