LINKThe Hawks have reportedly been working hard to find a taker for forward Josh Smith in recent weeks. Atlanta is in a tough situation financially, as both Mike Bibby and Marvin Williams are free agents.
Smith has a history of disagreements with coach Mike Woodson, and would likely be coveted on the trade market.
However, there is a $6 million trade kicker attached to his contract, which could scare some teams off.
"You are going to see very few owners willing to do things like that anymore," one GM said. "I'm not saying he's impossible to trade. There are a few owners like Paul Allen, James Dolan, Mark Cuban and maybe Daniel Gilbert who would pay the money. But there aren't many."
I would love to have Smith in NY, but I know it wont happen because of what we're trying to do for 2010. But If the Hawks would be open to a trade involving a S&T with Lee...
BTW Good ass title right? lol
