There have been rumors that the Hawks are looking to trade Josh Smith, but doing so won't be an easy task.

ESPN's Chad Ford originally reported that Atlanta is looking to move Smith, but SLAM's Lang Whitaker has confirmed that because the Hawks matched an offer sheet that the forward received from the Grizzlies last offseason, they can't deal him for one year without consent.

Whitaker also confirmed that the trade kicker that accompanies Smith's contract is worth closer to $7 million than the $6 million initially reported.
