The Atlanta Hawks have dangled forward Josh Smith in trade talks many times before. But this year, with the trade deadline approaching and Smith due to become a free agent once the season ends, the possibility looks more serious.
The Hawks, at 28-22, are sixth in the Eastern Conference as of Tuesday, but ESPN’s Chris Broussard says the team is in talks with the Brooklyn Nets (30-22, fifth in Eastern Conference) to trade Smith. Brooklyn is “aggressively pursuing” Smith, and the Nets also have their eyes on the Charlotte Bobcats’ Ben Gordon, although Kris Humphries is the key piece in both trades, meaning it’s an either/or for Brooklyn. The Nets prefer Smith, according to Broussard.
Atlanta is considering the trade offer for Smith but is setting the price rather high, Broussard reports.

Josh Smith is having yet another well-balanced, 'Josh Smith-esque' type season for the 27-22 Hawks, putting up 16.9 points, 8.5 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals a game, the only player in the NBA averaging 16/8/4/2/1.

Josh Smith activated full-troll-mode in Dallas, where he drained a career-high four three-pointers (on just five tries) as the Hawks defeated the Mavericks 105-101. Needless to say, he also did some really stupid ****; even his made three-pointers were actually stupid ****, but they happened to not be airballs somehow. Smith didn’t do nearly as much stupid **** as the Mavericks...
