		<description>i just wanted to let you know...from a Hawks fan perspective, that i am angered and deflated by the truth in your article here. i am a passionate hawks fan and ive been clamouring for MONTHS to get Smith locked up, i am fully aware of all the positive (and negative) things you said about Smith and his skill set, i am fully aware of his potential, and i even have this edge on you..i know the kid. i and he are both born and raised in Atlanta, i saw him play in high school and i used to talk to him often in his rookie season and this was his dream come true.

SO YOU CAN KILL YOUR LIL DREAM OF HIM PLAYING IN DETROIT CUZ ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN MAN! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! EVER! 

Even if we have a very stupid coach, and an even stupider ownership group, Josh Smith &quot;put on&quot; for the city of Atlanta (shout out to young jeezy), he represents for the young black youth of atlanta, and the hawks are gonna go as far as Josh Smith will take them, HE is the leader and future of the Hawks, not Joe Johnson.

By the way, you have a beautiful blog, i will try to get on your level in the future, i would appreciate your thoughts and opinion on my blog if you would, ill link yours to mine

thanks</description>

		<description>the impact he could have on our team....it would be fantastic....he&#039;s so athletic, just needs a little work on the fundamentals (which curry can certainly provide)</description>

		<description>I agree. The Hawks are doing an injustice to Josh Smith. Josh should just take the one year tender and get paid in the open market. At worst he&#039;ll get traded during the year to another team.</description>
