The Brooklyn Nets appear to be missing a piece to the championship contending puzzle and that piece could be Atlanta Hawks star forward Josh Smith. Brooklyn already brought in a former Hawks frontrunner in the offseason when they traded for Joe Johnson and now the Nets are reportedly seeking a deal to aquire Smith from the Hawks as well. Who knew the Nets were looking to become the old Hawks?
Even with the trade talks and Brooklyn reportedly pursuing Smith "aggressively" we still aren't close to a deal.
Nets going hard after Josh Smith, sources say. While they've discussed a trade for Ben Gordon, getting Josh is a bigger priority.

What would you do if you went to the store and somebody thought they spotted Christopher Dorner?
