Hawks Want Smith In The Flock « NBA.com | Hang Time Blog Page 1 of 5 NBA TEAMS TICKETS GLOBAL D-LEAGUE WNBA ENE-BE-A IHOOPS USAB Get News & Offers Login Submit Query Hawks Want Smith In The Flock July 26, 2012 · 12:04PM HANG TIME, TEXAS – Danny Ferry has been on the job for only a few weeks and already he’s backed the moving van up to cart off Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams. So are the movers ready to lift Josh Smith like an old sofa and carry him to the door next? Not so fast, Ferry tells Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution : “He’s a really good player,” Ferry said. “I love his ability to pass the ball. I love his ability to make game-changing plays defensively. I love his competitiveness. If I was out there playing, I would want Josh on my team.” But does Smith want to be here? He wasn’t available for comment Tuesday, but Ferry said he has met with him twice. “He’s excited for next season,” he said. “We haven’t really gone in that direction with him [on roster plans]. But we’ve talked about how we’re going to play. We’ve talked about other players. His ideas, my ideas. I’m just trying to establish a relationship.” Smith has only one year left on his contract. While he reportedly has softened his stance on a trade request, he publicly has given no indication yet that he’s looking to re-sign here. He is coming off the best season of his career (18.8 points, 9.6 rebounds), taking on more responsibility after Al Horford’s injury, even with the occasional “Josh” moment.

Now that the Hawks are playing so well, complaints about having taken Williams instead of a point guard in that fateful draft five years ago have waned considerably. He's now a legitimate starter and double-digit scorer for a serious playoff team, and he's only getting better. Now Marvin, I don't want to say that people didn't expect you guys to play well this season after the success of last year, but compared to all the publicity teams like Boston and Orlando and Cleveland have gotten, in what ways is this Hawks team still a little underrated? "We've been doing pretty well. Coming into the season those two or three teams you mentioned were supposed to be at the top of the conference, and they still are so far, but we're a pretty good team in the East, too." So what is it about this team that's allowed the first quarter of the season to go so well for you guys? "We were put together four or five years ago, and we have a lot of guys that play the same position.
