It seems as if Josh Smith has been rumored to be on the verge of leaving the Hawks for several years now. He needs to leave Atlanta and experience a new situation. That team peaked years ago and the core has been broken up.
Smith’s skill set is unique and he could be a very valuable asset for a contender.
Apparently, he’ll also be a valuable asset to a non-contender, as it looks like Detroit will make a big play for his services today.
Detroit Pistons general manager Joe Dumars met with Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith at 12:01 a.m. ET with a plan to make the free agent forward a substantial four-year offer, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
