BLAZERS CAN'T WORK IT OUT (9-19-03).

The moment the Hawks match the three-year, $22.5M offer sheet Jason Terry received from the Jazz their new owners must write a check for $4M, almost half of the guard's first year ($8.3M) wages. How badly did Terry want out of Atlanta? He turned down its seven-year, $50M offer, establishing him as Gamblers Anonymous' newest franchise player.

Sources reveal Memphis is desperately trying to obtain a center, namely Hawk Nazr Mohammad ($5M/$5.2M/$5.9M), after failing to pry away Erick Dampier from the Warriors. With the exception of Mike Miller (about to be rewarded with a plush contract) and James Posey, the Grizzlies would be happy to give up any of their many small forwards/off guards -Wesley Person or Shane Battier, for instance.
