Looking Smooooover?

Recent reports coming out of Atlanta is that high flying Josh “JSmooove” Smith may be on the move. A restricted free agent, the young star has reportedly told friends that he wants out. Smith feels insulted that the Hawks have not shown him much respect in the negotiating process. Recent talk has the Hawks mulling sign and trade offers from two teams. One of the teams being a Western Conference Power. Hmm Lakers? And the other an Eastern Conference Big Dog.

 

Smith is still an unpolished talent but an incredibly gifted athlete with high flying dunks and amazing knack for blocking shots for a wing player. He would help the Lakers in terms of solving what many called their short comings of in terms of interior defense. Add to that the return of Andrew Bynum and that could be something special up front for years to be wreckoned with.

 

Why would the Hawks do this trade? Well if Smith doesnt want to be there and they need to get talent back , then why not a player like Odom whos versatile and once flourished in the Eastern Conference and would give them an expiring contract as an option. The Lakers would benefit from a boost on the defensive side and would get younger not to mention the fact that this is Hollywood and we all know that La La Land loves to be entertained. Smith would almost instantaneously be a new fan favorite.
