When it's all said and done that maybe the best ATL can get. I think I trust Amar'e to stay healthy but smith is one of the best wing defenders out there. He is also shooting way to many bad shots but Melo would definately take the ball out of his hands for the most part.

There is a less than 0% chance this happens.

I don't want Smith btw.

THE NBA is weird. Some teams are playing in half empty stadiums.

Wish Milwaukee would take Amare off our hands.

The beautiful thing? He's only 27 years of age when compared to Amar'e Stoudemire who's 30. Josh Smith is the reason why Atlanta's the current 6th seed as a postseason contending team. Without Josh Smith leading the way, ATL's an NBA lottery team.

I wouldn't offer both Stoudemire and Shumpert though. The balls in our court. Why? Because ATL could be on the verge of losing Smith as a free agent for absolutely nothing come the offseason. At least they could still replace Smith with a big name player in Stoudemire who when healthy, can still sell tickets. Even if we were to trade Amar'e for Smith followed by losing Smith during the offseason? We just freed up $21,679,893 in cam heading into next season.

I love how Stoudemire came to New York when other NBA stars wouldn't. I love how we're on the verge of 3 consecutive trips to the postseason since the signing of Amar'e. But, I don't like his injury history, his lack of defensive ability along with his current contract. If you can move Stoudemire for a Josh Smith? You do it. I'd even throw in Copeland and White. But with all that stated, I'll always respect Amar'e for changing the culture of our franchise moving forward.

C: Tyson Chandler.
PF: Carmelo Anthony.
SF: Josh Smith.
2G: Iman Shumpert.
PG: Raymond Felton.

With J.R Smith, Jason Kidd and Steve Novak as our 6th, 7th and 8th men off the bench.

C: Marcus Camby.
PF: Rasheed Wallace.
SF: Steve Novak.
2G: J.R Smith.
PG: Jason Kidd.

As our backup 5.

Pablo Prigioni, Ronnie Brewer and Kurt Thomas as our 11th, 12th and 13th men off the bench (when fully healthy).

You would not do Stat and Shump for Josh Smith????

Thats another one of your funny jokes right?

Nope, I wouldn't. Why? Because Atlanta could be on the verge of losing Josh Smith for absolutely nothing during this coming offseason. Why should they receive both Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert in return? This is different than the Denver deal because Josh Smith isn't Carmelo and Iman Shumpert/Amar'e Stoudemire is a much better package when compared to Gallo/Wilson.

Stoudemire, Copeland and White for Josh Smith. They can take it, leave it, or lose Josh Smith for nothing during free agency.

LMFAO

And Atlanta would take on Amare's retarded contract for what reason?
