No more games: Sign Smith
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This is the move nobody saw coming. The Grizzlies have been sitting on the salary cap space all summer. Everyone assumed they were saving up for the free-agent classes in the future, but it appears they have been targeting Josh Smith for some time.
That said, the Hawks remain in a prime position to hold on to one of their best players by matching the Grizzlies offer sheet.
I’d match it immediately. Why risk damaging your relationship with Smith more, by playing games for another week?
