According to RealGM, the Grizzlies have signed Josh Smith to a $58 million dollar offer sheet. Are you kidding me? They have money to spend and they wait and wait and now try to get Josh Smith? I would have tried Brand, or someone that isn’t a restricted free agent. The Hawks have seven days … Read more
