    All signs continue to point to the Sixers signing Smith to a lucrative offer sheet as early as Wednesday

    Not sure Smith wants to leave. The 76ers should really consider how to spend their space as it'll be locked up for a while w/ an offer to Smith.

    If the Hawks managed to lose Smith, that'd be a huge loss to them. He's a huge part of their team and is getting better and better.

    If the 76ers managed to land him, as well as bring back Iggy, they'd have a great young combo between the two of them.
