Description: In what may have been his final game as an Atlanta Hawk, forward Josh Smith collected 10 points, nine rebounds and nine assists Wednesday against the Heat. | Insight: If Smith's tenure with the Hawks is indeed over, the near triple-double he posted Wednesday night is a nice parting gift for the nine seasons he spent in Atlanta. Look for Smith updates early and often as the clock ticks down to Thursday afternoon's 3 pm trade deadline. | | |
| 2/20/2013 6:46:00 PM |
Description: Hawks forward Josh Smith is at the arena and expected to play in Wednesday night's game against Miami. SOURCE: Chris Vivlamore, Atlanta Journal-Constitution | Insight: For now Smith (17.4 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 4.1 apg, 2.1 bpg) is still with the Hawks, but that could change quickly. The Bucks, Celtics, Nets and Suns are all said to be pursuing a trade for the soon-to-be free agent. Considering that Atlanta is unlikely to meet Smith's high salary demands this offseason, we're betting a deal gets done before Thursday's 3 pm deadline. | | |
| 2/16/2013 3:51:00 PM |
Description: Gery Woelfel of the Journal Times suggests that the Bucks could become involved in trade discussions for Hawks forward Josh Smith. | Insight: The Hawks have told Smith that they aren't going to offer him a max contract when he hits free agency this summer, leading to speculation that the star forward could be dealt before Thursday's trade deadline. Boston, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Houston, Milwaukee and Philadelphia have all been mentioned as possible landing spots for Smith (17.4 ppg, 4.1 apg, 8.6 rpg, 1.8 bpg). | | |

Description: TNT's David Aldridge hears that the Hawks won't sign Josh Smith to a max contract when he becomes a free agent this offseason. | Insight: That statement would lead many to believe that Smith's days in Atlanta are numbered including ESPN's Chris Broussard, who is setting the odds at 60 percent that Smith will be dealt prior to February 21st's trade deadline. Where there's smoke there's usually fire. Don't expect Smith (16.9 ppg, 8.5 rpg) to finish the season in an ATL uniform. | | |
| 1/31/2013 8:02:00 PM |
Description: Alex Kennedy of USA Today reports that the Suns are looking to make a deal for Hawks small forward Josh Smith. | Insight: It would be interesting to see Smith end up in Phoenix where he'd probably be asked to do most of the heavy lifting on offense. Smith is in the midst of another productive season, averaging 16.9 ppg, 8.4 rpg and 2.2 bpg in 42 appearances. As dominant as he's been in other areas, Smith's free-throw shooting still needs a lot of work (50.6 percent). | | |
| 1/23/2013 9:24:00 PM |
Description: With Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia both out, Josh Smith stepped up and scored 30 points on 15-of-24 shooting with 13 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks Wednesday versus the Bobcats. | Insight: Smith also turned the ball over seven times, but that's not that big of a deal considering his other production. The forward is averaging more than 16 points and eight rebounds and nearly four assists to go with more than one steal and two blocks per game. | | |
| 1/18/2013 11:38:00 AM |
Description: Hawks forward Josh Smith served his one-game suspension on Wednesday and should be back on the court filling the box score Friday versus Brooklyn. | Insight: The Hawk's best player was kicked out of Tuesday's practice which apparently led to the suspension. He apologized according to the report and hopefully this will be the end of it. Smith is averaging 16.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.3 spg and 2.3 bpg. He will be a free agent after the season and there is a chance Smith won't finish the year with the Hawks. | | |
| 1/16/2013 11:58:00 AM |
Description: Hawks forward Josh Smith will miss Wednesday's game against Brooklyn because of a one-game team-imposed suspension. | Insight: The Hawk's best player was kicked out of Tuesday's practice which apparently led to the suspension. He apologized according to the report and hopefully this will be the end of it. Smith is averaging 16.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.3 spg and 2.3 bpg. It's a blow to owners in almost every fantasy category. | | |
| 1/14/2013 10:37:00 PM |
Description: Hawks forward Josh Smith scored just nine points on 4-of-14 shooting in 27 minutes of play Monday versus Chicago and yet he almost led the team in scoring. | Insight: The Hawks were down 48-20 at the half and didn't play any starters more than 27 minutes and 29 seconds, possibly because they were playing their fifth game in seven days. Rarely used forward Mike Scott led the team with 10 points on Monday, meaning none of your Hawks did anything noteworthy. | | |
