Brad Miller is one of the best center's in the league. Shareef Abdur-Rahim can give you close to a double double off the bench which is much more than many other teams in the league. In many cases, teams can't even field starters at the 4 and 5 spot that can give you close to a double double which both Miller and Abdur-Rahim can do. Daniel Gibson was easily the 2nd best player on the Cavs in the playoffs last year and the key to winning many games. Jerome James is god awful but excellent at playing solid defense for short spurts in games similar to what the Mavericks do with their centers. Considering that if the playoffs would start today, the 8th seed would have a .461 winning percentage and the Hawks are damn near that with a .400 winning percentage, I believe it's easy to say that these additions will make you a playoff team. You lose none of your major contributors aside from Josh Smith but gain impact players at positions that your weakest at.

Re: Trade Josh Smith?
the last guy I would trade on the team is Josh Smith. the hawks need to hang on to horford and smith. They still need a center and probably a pg too. free agents trades and dps could fix that. could be competitive in a year or two.
ideally you dont trade for players on the downside of their careers.

Re: Trade Josh Smith?
Josh has been playing much better lately. More under control, less wild jump shots.

Re: Trade Josh Smith?
Keep Josh Smith and the youth core intact. Bring in a coach with instant credibility and begin to move picks for veterans who will help shape the team and promote chemistry. The mistake teams make with rebuilding is to just pile the team up with youth. Just balance the two and avoid bad contracts. The Hawks are very close and you guys must be excited. This is a crucial stage in team development though.

The Hawks have traded their first round pick to Phoenix and won't get a potential star point guard therefore.

true i forgot about that. but they still don't even need a lottery pick to get a quality guard depending on who all comes out.

Still wanna sit him?
The hawks would be stupid to trade him, the guy is becoming a beast.
25 points, 16 rebounds, with 4 blocks and 4 steals against Dwight Howard the the magic.
A few years ago these 2 teams were garbage, now the magic are one of the top teams in the east, and the hawks are making a push this year.

He is still taking the same kind of shots, but they are falling for him right now.
