There's little information beyond that included in the post's title. Report comes from the Memphis Commercial Appeal (HT: Micah at Hawks BasketBlog). The Hawks have seven days to match the offer.
For those interested in contemplating a sign-and-trade, here's the Memphis roster with salary information though the Grizzlies have sufficient cap room to sign Smith without giving anyone up.
And here I thought that this offseason was a complete no brainer for any GM and even our ownership group. Resign the Joshes and try to find a bargain by adding cheap bench players. I'm not really brimming with confidence. Is Josh Smith going to leave because he hates Mike Woodson? Did Rick Sund choose a failing head coach over two of the teams four best players?
Match the offer today and be done with this already. The Hawks' management is even dumber than the Packers'.

ReplyDeleteI don't think Rick Sund chose the head coach.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I think his willingness to waive the right to pick the head coach is precisely why he got the job.
It's ownership that entered the off-season with insultingly modest goal of keeping together a 37-win team. They've failed to do even that.
The offer has been MATCHED... panic over
