they need a two guard...Smith will get in the way unless they trade johnson and Beasley too, love aint going anywhere.
This is clearly a "We're dealing with Kahn so why not? LOL" type proposal from Atlanta. Why else would they think offering another PF for the #2 would work? It's not like Love is moving over to center anytime soon. And Josh Smith is not a three. There is almost zero logic behind this swap. That said, I guess with Kahn involved there's always a chance!
Josh Smith is beyond overrated RIGHT NOW. He is an immense athlete, but when you factor in his attitude and his reluctance to stop shooting 3's like he did 2 years it makes him expendable. Guys like Josh never get it together, they always get in trouble with coaches when in reality they have such an easy job. All they have to do is wake up,use their god given ability,listen to coach, and collect millions but they refuse and want to do things their way. All the talent in the world and they want to trade him for an unproven rookie.....maybe this will be his wake up call.
