Smoove Surfaces

Friday, July 23, 2010
By Jon Newberry

Josh Smith has kept a pretty low profile this summer. He dropped by to show his support for Coach Drew when he was introduced at his press conference and popped in during a summer league practice before the team headed out to Vegas, but for the most part he has been out of sight.

It turns out that part of the reason we haven’t seen too much of Smoove is that he isn’t spending all of his time in the A-T-L. SLAM Magazine’s Tzvi Twersky recently caught up with Josh in New York and put together a quick Q&A with the Hawks forward.

The most important excerpt from the feature:

SLAM: What are you hoping to accomplish next season?
Josh Smith: The ultimate dream! I mean, I think that when you step out on the court you never want to undermine your goals, and I think that everybody has the opportunity to win a ring just like anybody else does. So that has to be my goal. 

Josh also talks about looking forward to playing under Coach Drew, the idea of playing with Shaq, and of course he touches on the addition of LeBron to the Southeast Division. Click Here to read the whole article.

    still, i think they shud trade bibby while his value is still high. trade bibby, collins, and mo evans for chris paul.

    i agree on that

  7. really?

    @anonymous, there is no way NO would give us cp3 for the poopoo platter you mentioned. NO must move okafor to make any deal work. so what would work contract wise is smoove and marvin for cp3 and okafor. the money works for the cap, NO gets quality in return for paul while shedding okafor’s contract. the problem for the hawks is, will paul sign an extension, or are they renting him for 2 years…

    well i think we will be okay because the way its looking shaq can either retire are come here and the hawks are looking at kwame brown and the prolemb with the hawkws is that they choke in the fuorth quater think of all the games that we could won and dont even get get me started on rick sund he is stupid we almost forgot to get jordan crawford josh smith was dome i the regarler season the only prolemb he has is he shoots to much threes thats it other than that he was good oh and it was all joe johnson fault he would always pass it to him what you think josh going to make a three when he has not made one all season i want to know why he stayed after all things he said about us he going to come back just becuase he saw stupid rick sund put down 124million dollars when i heard joe waws sign back the first word i said was what the hell the end hawks fans

    I hope Shaq joins the hawks.

    They should see who they can get for trading Horford.

    It would be really cool if they can somehow get Dwight Howard. And I say, why not? He’s a hometown Atlanta guy.

    Josh Smith is my favorite player in the whole league.

    Besides Crawford, the hawks need more help from the bench.

    Bibby is really not making it happen at PG, he should be replaced or play off the bench.

    im a source guy for the hawks now and ronald im going to awser our quetion shaq will no join the hawks we do not need him anyway and i know where you coming from to trade al but we cant the people we can get isww derrick rose oj mayo kevin love and zaza i agree with you about the hawks need a bench but if we just sign some pg vetarans are center vetarans and i got a question ronald who would you rather have at pg jordan crawford or jeff teage if you need any questions just ask me yall thank and have a good night

    Ronald you definately trippin bro Dwight howard is “untouchable” meaning until he gets old and starts to deplete he’s not going anywhere, you want howard wait about 4yrs, and just because he’s from here doesnt mean he wants to play here,if that was the case, Kobe would bve a sixer, and LBJ would still be a cav, and zach youre a lier bro, you saaid we can get, rose mayo or love,? youre not not a source guy youre as important to the hawks as everyone else here, anyway
    im ouching for that chris paul, and iggy trade(if hes really up for trade), if we make it happen we’ll be better than MIAMI, guaranteed. GO Hawks!

    why is josh smith not in this blue vs white and javale macgee on thisw team even shephen curry wait is that jeff green speeking about him thunder is now my 2 best team

    His scouting report when he went to pre-camp basically said that hes has tremendous upside but his inability to shoot is tto much of a liability, the funnny part is every year when smoov gets interviewed over the summer they ask if he’s working on his 3pt shooting and he always says no, seee i wish we could have al’s spirit an attitude ,mixed with Josh’s Talent we’d be a pretty good team man.

    theres been talk bout trying 2 get kwame brown in the atl, well he’s a hometown boy and in a back up roll may prove to be effective. What we really need to try and make happen some kind of deal with Memphis to either land m. gausol or h. thabeet in a trade that includes a combo of of these players and picks: phx pick, 2nd round if we have one, m. williams , m. bibby, j. collins, m. west and morris. we could have a formidable starting five with: jordan crawford, joe johnson, josh smith, al horford, and preferably hasheem thabeet. with jamal, mo, jeff, and zaza anchoring a sloid bench
