Hawks looking to sell draft pick??

Nevertheless, the possibility of Brown coaching the 76ers could rest largely on how things play out with the Hawks. There’s been a cool relationship between management and Woodson, and sources say that the organization’s priority isn’t to reward him with an expensive contract extension. The Hawks are pooling resources to get maximum money available for Joe Johnson. The message has been made clear to the Hawks: Offer Johnson a max contract extension on July 1, and they’re likely to keep him.

 

Sources say that this is the reason Atlanta is willing to sell its first-round pick for $3 million this summer, and the reason that they’ll likely offer no more than a three-year contract for $1.8 to $2 million a year to a possible Woodson successor. Woodson could expect a bigger offer to stay on the job, but perhaps not by much. For Woodson, the 76ers could offer leverage to leave, but he would have to weigh leaving a legitimate Eastern Conference contender for a flawed roster in Philadelphia.

Gross, gross, and gross.

The Lakers sold their pick for the same amount of cash last season and we spent $2.5 million on 2nd rounders, I'd say $3 million for Atlanta's pick is a bargain. This draft is pretty damn deep though, they shouldn't sell it.

The thing that worries me is that these next couple of games have the potential to change the Hawks' plans for the next 3-4 years.

Rob Sarver would probably do this to the Suns' picks too -_-
