Bad trade for Hawks. Iverson is gonna start decling in next 2 or so years, while Smith, Williams and Harrington have MANY years ahead of them.
true i agree but from what i been hearing on sports radio and shows on in philly, it seems like the sixers really are commited to trading iverson

Im thinking we won't resign Slamons to help with the logjam.</div>If Hawks management gives you guys Smith, I might commit suicide..Thats just insane - You guys dont even need Smith he'd just add to your load of highflyers at SF.
yeah kingjames is right the hawks would probaly only trade harrington and williams for AI, i dont know why the hawks would trade josh they could probaly build their team around him

If you can't handle threads getting heated, then you shouldn't come here.And taking charges does NOT indicate good defense. That's just sacrificing your body for the sake of the team. It has nothing to do with defensive abilities. And you were the one that says steals has nothing to do with good defense. i have never seen mo pete put all his effort into defense and actually lock someone down. And i've seen him more than once. He and Joey Graham collectively gave up 81 points from one player. And it's not like Kobe was just hurling things in, he was burning the defense.</div>Except thats the thing. Sam had Joey Graham and Matt Bonner guarding Kobe, not Mo..Believe me, im serious. Matt Bonner was on him more then half the game, also Joey Graham was guarding him.Anyway, I g2g to baseball practice now. It is rediculous that you think he is a bad defender. He puts all his effort into playing baseball. It's even more funny that you say offense is his priority. That is complete nonsense. You have no idea what your talking about..

That guy would be Mo Pete.

If not then I don't want Smith unless we trade a wing player. I also kind of think we should trade KK.

Charlotte could use another good shooter on there team, since they really lack offense..

Hell if theyw ould be dumb enough to make that trade I would do it in a heartbeat. i would love to see Knight in Philly.

Actually I saw the whole game, and Matt played on Kobe alot.
that's like the 10 millionth time you've told me to "STFU". hahaYes, i have an idea of what i'm talking about. Offense is his priority. He may be a decent defender, but he is far from "very good".
Haha, first you said he was a very bad defender, now you say he's decent. Make up your mind. Very good may have been a bit too much, but he is an above average defender.
He's above average in this league. Im a Raptors fan. I would know. He tries very hard on defense, and he does a great job.
