Atlanta Hawks

Jeremy Lin and James Harden need a versatile power forward to run with, and the Houston Rockets need look no further than Paul Millsap of the Utah Jazz. According to Chad Ford of ESPN.com, Houston is likely to be active near the trade deadline as they continue their pursuit of an additional forward: Hearing yes [...]

Josh Smith has been a budding young star on an Atlanta Hawks team that has been consistently mediocre for nearly a decade. But that’s officially all changed. Atlanta’s explosive power forward is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season, and through last year, all indications were that he would spurn the Hawks [...]

A large part of me wants to believe in the Atlanta Hawks. Heck, looking at their 9-5 record, a large part of me is telling I should believe in them. But I don’t. Though Atlanta is fresh off a six game winning streak, it may have been one of the least indicative winning streaks in [...]

A Hawks all-star has made his departure from Atlanta a little more likely. “Josh Smith has told the Hawks that he isn’t going to sign an extension during the season.

Joe Johnson is gone, so everything with the Atlanta Hawks is just peachy, right? Kind of, but not really.
