He better add up something with all that money Atlanta is paying him now. This guy made out like a bandit.

That sounds like a lot of "transforming" in two months. Hmmmmmm.

You're comparing an NBA all-star athlete, to another lesser 'pro- league player... Of course Josh Smith is going to look bigger...! Put him in a room with elementary school children, and he will have 'grown' several inches!!!!

-Waste of time...

lets give the kid credit for trying to get better..........\
too many athletes- once they get big guaranteed deals STOP trying to improve & get too comfortable.

Beware eastern confernce

Allot of theses guys forget their lower body and that imbalances your body, and is said to increase the likely hood of injuries to the lower body. I live in L.A and when the Lakers wore short shorts to comemarate the showtime Lakers Kobe looked funny as hell with his twigs for legs.

Apparently this doesn't translate into basketball. They lost because they couldn't stop Javaris Crittendton and Louis Williams. What will he do with Chris Paul or Deron Williams?

Adding strentgth? I thought he was already strong. Doesn't he need to work more on his game like posting up and shooting a consistent jumpshot?

ATL should make a move to get Javaris. He's from GaTech and would be a fan favorite; Somehow get rid of Salim, he's a bust.
Coming back to Josh, I hope Marvin is listening and paying attention to Josh's workouts. 'Coz he's the one that needs weight training and re-building his upper body. Sitting pretty from 10-12 ft and shooting jumpers ain't gonna cut it at that position.

That sounds like a lot of "transforming" in two months. Hmmmmmm.

Listen, when your that physically fit doing alot of weights muscle grows really quickly.

Well well well news from the Hawks and smith. Finally they start to care about him again. No one else is interested i guess in major money for josh smith, so they need to get there act in gear

why couldnt he have gone to the grizzlies :'(

The man is a freak athlete. He COULD be the next Kevin Garnett. Maybe Josh Smith could teach Tayshaun Prince something about weights or just about his weight.

ATL is always my dark horse team in the Eastern Conference.

He has the hops of a madman robber on drugs jumping out a high window.
OK, I know, dumb comparison.

I also think that he should be working on his jump shots and defense as well as his upper and lower body strength. If he is going to be playing PF in the East against Garnett, Wallace, Brand, Bosh, he can never out-muscle these guys. All these guys have better jump shots and low-post game. Plus, he got beat by Javaris & Lou? 'Freak-athletes' are great & may win prizes at the circus, but championships?

how about instead of lifting weights and transforming his body he work on his shooting. he is a horrible 3 pt shooter and isnt that great of a jump shooter.

thank god there are no steroid test in the NBA.

i mean tests

now if all those weight could translate in to better skills and more wins then that would be a story. most guys trying to get to the next level do weights along with working on a facet of their game.
