carlos boozer and josh smith.

there's alot of people here that aren't boozer fans and that's fine, b/c, well, you're idiots.
and josh smith is on his way to superstardom. forget al harrington, target this guy.

but more importanly, i think we may have the chips to get them.

An injury prone long term contract PF exactly what we need. I'm an idiot for not agreeing with you. LOL.

I like Boozer. Not sure I believe Josh Smith is even available.

Boozer's great if you don't mind the fact that he's not a team player, is a scoundrel for how he left the Cavs, makes the news because he's fueding with Prince (not Tayshaun), is injury prone and doesn't play defense.

Take all that out and he's pretty good, I guess.

We absolutely do not have the chips to get Josh Smith.

Agree 100%. I wouldnt give up Frye but I would give up an awfull lot. Hell... I would JUMP at the chance to give up Francis and both #1s for Josh Smith. We dont need Francis and Smith for the picks is a steal. The Hawks need PGs and centers. Marbury, Francis, Curry and picks are all options I would trade for Smith. Hawks have max cap space those deals are fiscal options, if not logical ones.

As for Boozer... DJ, oohah, what are you thinking? Since he got paid he's always hurt and soft when he's on the court. Isnt this more of the same? You guys know something I dont?

I like josh, but not as much as some of you guys, I rather see if childress is available. High IQ player, good on the ball defender, good finisher....I think he would be more available, and the better player down the road..

tfk comon are you still not on the josh smith bandwagon.....

he gets rebounds assists, and is one of the best shotblockers in the nba, has a strong build, hes young and needs to be taught and his jumper is improving (28, 7, 7, and three the other night when was the last time Knick did something like that) Over his last nine, 18pts 8rbs 4.3ass and 3.6blks

Had ISIAH who i hope rots in hell not made the Magic into a powerhouse and gave the Bulls everything they need to be better than us, we would not be having any discussions because then our number one asset Frye could be a nice trade piece to get rid of Marbury, now we are stuck with Francis, and Crawford who is some how a fan favorite

All of that is nice, but I watch this kid a lot, he is a great athlete, and his numbers can look great some games, but I see a kid who gets beat a lot on defense, he has fallen in love with the outside shot and he is not a good shooter, he can't take anyone off the dribble at all, I think he is another tweener, an above average shot blocker and superb finisher, but I rather have childress, a much better defender, passer and shooter, just a better overall game...

Yes! Childress is a very good player. If anybody...Childress is an expendable player in atlanta cuz they not trading Josh Smith, or Marvin williams.

I was thinking about trading Nate....but Nate would go to Atlanta and go on to average 20pts per game for his career probably. Maybe Childress for some draft picks.

I think we should look at childress as well because smith is not moving; atlanta is in business they just need to look around to see if they can get anything for harrinton perhaps a pick, if not they let him go, draft aldridge let him get his bumps at the center position or they could get crazy and look to move, childress, a pick and perharps harrinton for a big time player.....

I would rather the Knicks gamble on Jason Williams instead of signing a mike james or someone like that and maybe look into Nene, since most young player are off the board......

Really not in a great position and it kills that channing didn't get more time at the end of the season

Hey Fish,

I'm not certain how Boozer's contract relates to his injuries. He's had some injury problems, but those are fairly recent, not the chronic injuries that some seem to recall.

Injuries are unpredictable. Look at Kurt Thomas!

As far as Boozer being soft, I couldn't disagree more. He gets rebounds, he mixes it up around the basket and he shoots a good percentage. He has been top notch since he came back this year.

I'll take Boozer over Curry any day.

Carlos Boozer
