Give Philadelphia 76ers president and general manager Ed Stepanski his props; one cannot accuse him of looking at his current roster and calling it a day.? The team, according to Joe Juliano of the Philadelphia Inquirer, immediately contacted Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith and his representation and plan to meet today; the 76ers have also contacted Smith’s teammate Josh Childress and are hoping to bring him in for a meeting, as well.? Smith’s agent, Brian Dyke, confirmed that he had met with the Hawks, who hold the right to match any offer given to Smith by the 76ers or any other NBA team.
