The Atlanta Hawks met with Josh Smith's representatives this week and indicated that they are not willing to give the forward a max contract after this season, according to a league source.
The Hawks, in turn, are entertaining trade offers for Smith around the NBA but haven't decided whether they will deal him.
Smith, averaging almost 17 points and nine rebounds this season, is prepared to move on from the Hawks.

What has he done this season to say he should be a max player though. I mean yea he's pretty good but he's not even a all star. For a guy going into FA he sure isnt playing like he is.

He will take less to play with Dwight. I think they would both take less.

Nets going hard after Josh Smith, sources say. While they've discussed a trade for Ben Gordon, getting Josh is a bigger priority.

Good luck with Josh Smith as your other max player this off-season Brooklyn.
