That stance may have changes since they offered him a contract extension given the team's playoff performance. And that's where I always scratch my head too, if the team that has him doesn't want to give him the max, why should we?
And for the very little it is worth, I did some reading of Hawks message boards and that was the very sentiment. Love to keep him but not on a max contract.
We don't have the talent level they do as a team. They might not be able to afford to keep him at a max contract. We may not be able to pass him up if we can obtain him at a max contract.
