I purposes this a few weeks ago but never really thought an organization like the Spurs would want Smoove. This is my favorite Smoove deal. Kawhi is a star in the making. I am sure Ferry knows this. We get him we are set at the sf position for 10 years.

Josh would be scary good under Greg P.

Josh to spurs

Kawhi + Blair + 1st round pick to hawks

Damn you had me a little excited there for a minute. But no players or picks were mentioned, only that they are among the teams interested.

The Spurs are among the teams with interest in Hawks forward Josh Smith, a source told Yahoo! Sports. Keep in mind, Hawks general manager Danny Ferry was previously with the Spurs.

I highly doubt that they are trying to trade Leonard, kid is all star caliber and only 21 years old, doesn't make sense.

Also this doesn't fit what Ferry said he wants. I'm sure he'd want Leonard but he's going to want a young center as well and Blair doesn't fit that mold and really duplicates what Ivan brings us. Swap Blair with Splitter and I think he'd have to be interested.

Smells like Bull. I don't even think they'd do Leonard for Josh straight up.

Hawks 12th in the yahoo power rankings!

I know Dolf I wish it was more of a concrete interest with names. But I have to assume that it would have to included Kawhi. That's the only thing that would make sense if it's a 1 on 1 trade not involving a 3rd team but who knows. Oh man if we land Kawhi, Ferry is awesome.

Makes sense for Spurs though. Smoove in addition to Manu, Parker and Duncan..brings that younger more athletic element they need to hurdle a team like okc in the playoffs.

They already have that in the MUCH younger Leonard. Trust me I'd love to get that kid for Josh, but I doubt it's happening.

All of these rumors are simply for the business of increasing Josh's value. The more interest he receives, the more he'll likely be paid in the off season. He knows he won't get a max offer unless it's from a team like the Bobcats or Pistons and he ain't goin there. His camp wants to get the best contract they can get him.

Ferry could do a great sales job in the Spurs and it would be the truth. He would tell them how all Josh needs is coaching and a structured system to be that allstar player Hawks have fans have alwayse dreamed of him being. He would buy into it with Duncan, Parker, and Pop in his ear every day.

It would be the best thing for both sides.

Problem is Atlanta would need some serious salary coming back to make it a legal trade......I would assume that would come in the form of Stephen Jackson's expiring contract.

Zero chance they trade us Leonard. More likely some picks and lesser players.

[Peoriabird]

Splitter and Lenard

[ryandauwalker]

I'd do Leonard/Jackson for Smoove. Getting Leonard alone would be absurd, but I doubt they would add Splitter as well in the middle of a title run.

[JohnnyCASH]

People stop acting dumb the trade would be centered around splitter not Leonard I hope they would add Danny green

[benhillboy]

Off topic, but does any stats outlet keep track of air-balls and non-rim shots? I'd love to see where Josh lands.

[DrReality]

Splitter seems like Ferrys kind of player

Josh would be scary good under Greg P.

If Pop gets Josh's mind right, SA would be a championship threat again and maybe for awhile longer.
