Josh Smith
Power forward
Atlanta Hawks
Josh Smith of Atlanta is the definition of mercurial in the NBA.
Possessing the talent at either end of the floor to be a game-changer, Smith has come under fire for his inconstancy during his time with the Hawks.
However, he has been one of the big reasons why Atlanta has made it to the playoffs for the past six years in a row, despite not possessing a star-studded line-up.
But the question the Hawks front-office will need to ask themselves this off-season is do they want to cash in Smith in a bid to retool the much of their entire side so they might break out of the pack in the East?
Or do they want to chase another free-agent such as Chris Paul or locally-born Dwight Howard?
The Hawks want to hang on to Smith at the right price, but with an asking price of around $16 million a season, he might find greener pastures elsewhere.
Verdict: Houston we have Josh Smith
