I love it. Sekou is yesterday saying that Josh is not demand the max and that he is open to Atlanta and then coming out after the trade deadline saying Josh is gone for sure.

*#$&*#

It's not like Danny Ferry is dying to sign him either. That said a lot could happen between now and June.

[AHawks89]

Just like how Josh Smith will definitely be traded by Thursdays trade deadline.

Thank the lord!

[wolvetigers]

Would of love to have a draft pick in this years draft, but let some other team sign Josh Smith..If I'm Danny Ferry i dont even do a sign and trade to give him that extra year..I would just let him walk it out..

So now you're selectively believing what you want regarding Sekou's report? I see...

[Plainview1981]

Hasn't deals been pulled off after the trade deadline? Or atleast they get reported way after the deadline.

[Bahamut]

A few minutes ago on NBA.com, he said that Josh would keep the Hawks on his list in FA. Sekou is the Josh Smith of NBA writers.

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of this season plays out. Josh is a professional, so he'll probably play out the rest of the year with no problem. But he's going to play the way HE wants to play from now on.

The fans booing or cheering for the other team isn't going to mean anything to him anymore. The fans moaning when he takes a 3 won't phase him either ( not that it was phasing him in the first place ).

Josh will go to Houston, if they can't get Dwight . . and turn the Rockets into a legit playoff team, with Harden as the superstar . . Lin as the PG . . and Smith as the highlight dunker and defender.

Teague and Horford better develop quickly . . along with Jenkins.

No, Sekou was interviewing Josh. Josh wasn't interviewing Sekou. All of what I said was coming from Josh's mouth on NBAtv, not Sekous.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Yes . . . sometimes 2 hours after the deadline.

The only thing that has to happen, is for the deal to be submitted to the league office.

Hawks were adamant about not taking on any salary in any potential deal for Josh Smith and stuck to it. They'll take the cap space instead.

And where do you think that Sekou got this information that there is no chance Josh will resign with the Hawks? And for him to say that an hour after the interview with him too.

I always wanted to ask this question. Who names their kid after a manatee in the first place? (You know, manatee, sea-cow.)

There is no hope.

Haha that's funny. I've heard that name one other time, on the show Parenthood there's an occasional character by that name.

He's making an assumption. He just has that feeling. You actually think Josh told him there's no chance of him staying in ATL? No way. I was basing my info of actual footage of Josh talking on NBATV. I don't listen to these clowns assumptions. I like hearing from the man himself.

You are listening to the media too much.
