Is he a $66 million dollar man?

Josh Smith wants a 6 year deal worth approximately $66 million. Now I am not a math whiz but I believe that is $11 million a year. Actually, he wants a bit more than that since Golden State gave that contract to Monta Ellis last week.

What can Josh Smith do? We know he can score. Also, last year alone he average over 8 rebounds a game and block over 2.5 shots per games. Those are really good NBA numbers. What is up with management not wanting to religuish the dough?

The Hawks have him for the cheap one more year. Look for them to work up a deal or he will be a very unhappy player during this last year of his lower salary.

With the salaries the league has been paying, Josh Smith should expect and has earned a $66 million dollar salary.
