The Hawks are pooling resources to offer a maximum-salary contract to Joe Johnson on July 1.  If they are able to do so, Johnson is likely to re-sign with Atlanta.

Sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski that the Hawks are willing to sell their first-round pick for $3 million, to help pay for Johnson's salary.

For the same reason, Atlanta will likely offer no more than a three-year contract between $1.8 million to $2 million per season to a possible successor to head coach Mike Woodson.  

Woodson could leave to take the Sixers' job if Larry Brown becomes team president in Philadelphia.  Brown would also look to hire Wizards' executive Milt Newton as his GM, according to sources.
