Hawks' free agent forward Josh Smith is reportedly impressed with the Sixers after visiting with the team on Wednesday, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"We had a great meeting and a great time visiting with everyone here, and we'll continue to talk tomorrow," Brian Dyke, one of Smith's agents, said Wednesday night. "What I can tell you is that we're very impressed with 76ers' organization and the city of the Philadelphia."

Philadelphia took Smith around the city in a limo and scheduled a meeting with major Michael Nutter, as well.

The 76ers are armed with more than $11 million in available cap space.

Is this something to be worried about? Or maybe it's just his agent playing the agent game and using the sixers as leverage on the Hawks extension talks.

What else would he say? Josh isn't going to sign an offer sheet with the Sixers and even if he did he wouldn't want to play there"?

Just typical "agent-speak." Nothing to be concerned about yet. Philly has yet to make an offer--and most of us fully expect they will.

Just once I'd love to see an article where it says, "Player despises ownership, thinks town sucks, and doesn't want millions."
