Josh Smith, who finished three assists shy of a triple-double Friday, says he feels like he should get a max contract when he hits free agency this summer.
Smith hasn't exactly had the season anyone hoped he would in his walk year, but his tantalizing mix of skill and athleticism make him a fascinating player to watch, as evidenced by his 17 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks Friday. As for whether deserves max money, while we're not really sure Atlanta's new front office will foot the bill, you know what they say: "It only takes one."
