WraithSentinel Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Regardless if anyone believe the Amare trade or not. Faith in the ownership is getting lower and whether they are committed. Is there any news on whether the team is working on getting Smoove sign to a contract extension this offseason? If so, could it happen soon. At least the agreement part since contracts can't be sign until the 15th I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Personally, I think Smoove would be best served if he doesn't sign an extension this summer . . especially if it's a deal that's under 10 million per year. On the flip side, I wouldn't sign Smith to an extension if I were the Hawks. If they're trying to acquire another player or two, they probably won't sign him to a new deal this summer. Let the marketplace set the value for Smoove. If the kid is still inconsistent, he can be had at a lesser price. If he blows up, the Hawks will have to give him max dollars. Either way, I wouldn't do anything regarding Smoove and an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted July 1, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I don't think you'll see one until they decide the roster is complete. That may mean trading Smoove although I doubt it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 As a HAWKS fan if they wanna keep people in the seat. Resigning Smoove should be their top priority. Trading him away or just letting him walk . Will only make people angry. But BK is an idiot so who knows what's going on in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvetigers Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Smith wont be extended until next summer. He is the face of the franchise, just look at who first sported the new Uniforms. After next summer, Lo, Lue, AJ contracts will be either traded or off the books. Besides if Smith was signed now, then Childress would expect to be signed and the Hawks dont want any kind of squable. Who knows we may keep them both depending on How Marvin, and CHildress play this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 We sign him now just to get it over with. We can't afford another team try the samething on us that we pulled with the Suns. Suns could have had JJ at 5 years and $50 Mil. Instead they fooled around and lost JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 You think Josh and his agent aren't smart enough to realize that he can make millions with another big season next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shug94 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 It is a career year for Josh. I think this means extra motivated Josh, and I think that means playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Quote: It is a career year for Josh. I think this means extra motivated Josh, and I think that means playoffs! I think it could go either way. This is a HUGE year for Andruw Jones too but he isn't doing well at all - choking at the plate - likely trying to hit a bunch of homeruns and his batting average is hovering around the Mendoza line. I'm sure Josh will be motivated to show the world what he can do but I hope that doesn't include jacking up a bunch of threes and trying to do things he isn't capable of (yet).
