According to Sekou Smith of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Hawks have a few serious options if trading restricted free agent Josh Smith is something the team's willing to do. Reportedly, a Western "power" and an Eastern "big dog" have sign-and-trade proposals on the table. No further clues, though Hoopsworld has some suggestions of variable intrigue.As mentioned in Saturday's Ben Gordon discussion, sign-and-trades don't pull as much return as the typical trade. (Marcus Camby trades need not apply.) But with a talent like Smith, the Hawks must get something decent, whether it be picks or a prospect or a decent frontcourt scorer to fill in some gaps and sell some tickets. If the Hawks lose Smith for little after losing Josh Childress for nothing, those 37 wins in 2007-08 will look like a heretical dream, not a repeat chance.
I remained astounded Memphis has not gotten involved here. The only team with cap space, the Grizzlies could renounce Kwame Brown and offer Smith whatever he wanted -- and surely more than what Atlanta would be willing to match. (Something like $53 million for five years probably would not get matched by the Hawks.) Smith's fair value at that price, and the Grizz desperately need frontcourt help. With both Smith and Emeka Okafor still flailing in the wind, that Memphis remains disengaged with this summer's market is almost a detriment to the league as a whole.
