The Hawks need something bold, otherwise just give Smith his money. My first choice would be:

Smith, Marvin and the rights to Childress for Yao Ming. My second choice would be Smith and the rights to Childress for Deng and Noah.

We’ll give Steph, Malik Rose, and Jerome “The Buffet Slayer” James, and another guard for J-Smoove. I want Smith in orange and blue: he’ll be nice in D’Antoni’s scheme. J-Smoove @ MSG, baby!! MAKE IT HAPPEN, PLEASE!!

i have to say that Josh would not fit as good in LA and the Triangle as Ron Artest but it still is not a bad trade. yes Josh is not the offensive person Ron is but he does not have to be in LA. his offensive game will come around in the next few years. hey he has Mamba to learn from.

The attractiveness of Josh Smith is not instant return although I don’t think he could pull as big a disappearing act as Odom did in the finals if he tried. You get world class athleticism, excellent help defense, and a player who’s improved each year and at 22 hasn’t hit his ceiling. If the Pistons get him his athleticism could help against the Celtics some, but it is about keeping the window to compete for championships open another half decade or longer. He’s would a piece of the puzzle as would Stuckey and they would add to it as they transition from one competitive lineup to another. If they give up too much for him perhaps the Hawks will competitive for another 2 years before entering another rebuilding phase.

I really hope its Detroit…as much as I love seeing Tayshaun in the Pistons colors…he has quietly stopped doing a lot in the playoffs anymore…If you Trade Tayshuan and say Amir Johnson for Josh Smith…

Billups
Hamilton
Smith
Maxiell/McDyess
Wallace

thats a pretty great frontline…and an all star backcourt.

I’m just imagining Sheed guarding the big, then Smith coming over for a huge weak side block like every other play.

and then him running back to get some special highlights. The Pistons would finally have a super athletic player on their team.

I’m with you, Knickhopeful. I think that for the Hawks, this move is really important, but in general, Smith is being overrated on these boards (like Baron Davis was last year).

Has anyone seen Josh Smith play lately? He is not blowing up people’s skirts you know. This guy is not going to make someone into an instant contender unless he becomes more consistent, takes better shots and develops a better all round game. He is not worth Odom straight up (Odom is a better passer and better with the rock) and if its for Tay plus one young Piston, its still not good enough against the C’s. Who was the most effective against the C’s in the Hawks Celtics series over 7 games? Josh Smith is not the first name that comes to mind. By the way, I am a huge Josh Smith fan, but i think some of you guys are crazy

Joey D better make this happen. Tay and Billups for just Josh is a little bit much however. The hawks need to put up a lil bit more.
