If Josh stays, he should not get the max. Atlanta already made that mistake with Joe Johnson and the Hawks were fortunate to find someone willing to take such an onerous contract.

Can anyone say sign and trade? what would not be a better offer than Al Horford and Josh Smith for Dwight Howard and a throw in? If Atlanta are serious about D12 they should at least put up the offer because it is doubtful that they can wrangle him straight up via free agency.

I do not see any of those moves making the Hawks any better. To use a baseball reference, If you are going to step to the plate, aim to hit one for the fences, not just a bunt. Such a move, pardon the baseball reference, does not put Atlanta anywhere near home plate. Dahntay Jones is no better than Anthony Morrow and Jeremy Tyler has not shown much since coming to the NBA.

So how are you going to fit Dwight Howard, Josh Smith and Al Horford on the same team?

They’re not going to re-sign Josh and bring Howard in because that would mean trading Horford. And they’re not trading Horford unless it’s for Howard in a sign-and-trade deal.

That’s not likely.

Liked both the trades the Hawks did make, but very worried about losing Josh with no compensation.

Dwight Howard isn’t going to ever lead a team to a championship. He isn’t a leader. if u want your coach to get fired then sure bring Howard for the ride!!!! Dwight Howard has soooo much growing up to do.

Hate to see Morrow go. Hope Josh stays and develops into a better player and stops taking those awful shots.

I hate to see Morrow go as a Georgia Tech fan, but it is a good trade. Hopefully Josh can be signed this offseason below a max contract as we get Dwight Howard to form a true champion team.
