Hawks may withdraw offer if Joe doesn't decide soon

[dhawk]

New York trying to pair Lebron & Joe, if Joe is waiting on Lebron to decide then he might loose out on the max deal, because the Hawks might pull the offer.

This is getting interesting ....

That doesn't make sense. JJ couldn't sign the offer right now even if he wanted to.

Come on now Joe, u would really trun down that type of money?? Even then there is NO gaurantee he and LeBron would win a championship together, unless they got a GREAT big man ...

Who else would the Hawks pursue? Salmons is gone.

I guess one of those handshake agreements, that's how we did it back in the day. :handshake:

Joe is resigning, this is just talk to keep NYK fans interested. It's like English pubs.

WOW! great move by the asg. makes me think there is a follow up move they want to work on but it hinges on joe resigning first. so they're saying here it is joe-take it so we can make the follow up move or totally forget about it. they've swung some of the leverage into their favor.

Please people do not read anything into this. There is nothing there.

I said months ago I'd offer the Max, but he'd have to accept right away or I walk away. The longer he waits the less you "have" to pay keep him. Eventually like prom the best dates run out.

NY state and NYC have some of the highest tax brackets in the country for the rich.

This is hogwash. Hype just to get some press. Its all a chess game and I don't think they would do anything rash like that.
