Joe Smith to ATL?

The veteran big man will reportedly be making a visit to the city to see what it has to offer: “Who said the Hawks were done chasing big men this summer? You didn’t hear it around these parts, at least not officially (from me). Barring a last minute change of plans, veteran big man Joe Smith is scheduled to visit town on Wednesday, according to two of my best spies. And the Hawks are not out of the running for Ben Wallace, who has yet to agree to terms with Detroit (though, one of my best spies up north insists that it’s just a matter of time before Wallace returns to the Pistons).”

    Joe Smith playing with Josh Smith? They might as well go and try to sign JR Smith.

    Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, then Joe Smith.
    So Josh Johnson, where you at?
    What the hell, you too James Jones, come on down!

    Forgot about the other guy, on the front page Summer League pic, with a similar name. James Johnson. ATL will manage to get him too.

    Ben still has a home in the Detroit suburbs, so he will be returning to the Pistons. I also like this move for the young Hawks.

    This is pretty crazy now, if I were the Hawks announcer, I’d ask for a payrise on the grounds of it’s unfair to tongue-tie me.
