Premium Member mrhonline Posted August 8, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) No, but Sekou is more so, and appears to have been right about the Hawks holding steady at $45M. But there should be no question about it, the Hawks match this ASAP and move on with their summer. We all move on our with our summer. The Grizzlies just did the heavy lifting here folks. All the Hawks hahve to do is match it and move on or let Smith walk and move on. I think this was the Hawks' plan all along with both Joshes - let them sign an offer sheet and then decide if they want to match. http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-bl...re_games_s.html Edited August 8, 2008 by ifthenwouldi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 The offer from Memphis makes it clear they do, so it seems they will. seems is not credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Well 58 mil is not bad, I thought the deal would be higher. This is a pretty decent price they should have no problem matching this.. Edited August 8, 2008 by jsmoovefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 If the offer is as we have all heard...some form of a 5-58 deal, the Hawks would be crazy not to match. Even if there is some friction within the organization vs. Josh - that's a reasonable (and very tradeable) contract. It would be insane not to match knowing that you could turn around and trade him for value as soon as the rules allow and that there would then be a bunch of teams willing to offer you value in return. Personally I think we will match and keep him though. Smoove highlights are so marketable and lotsa people come to Phillips to watch him. With our performance against Boston last year we may get some Nat. TV next year - and Smoove will be a big part of why. Actually...as screwed up as the Childress situation was...if he had gotten an offer from an NBA team for anywhere near easonable value, they probably would have matched that too. Not to defend the ASG too much, but that's just my guess. Now let's take what's left of the MLE and get another piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
