Chris Grant has removed his name from consideration on a job in the front office with the Atlanta Hawks, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Grant previously worked for the Hawks and was general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Grant was in "serious talks" to join the Hawks as a senior adviser, according to a report last week from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
"Recently, they were interested in hiring Chris Grant away from the San Antonio Spurs," said Windhrost on his podcast. "From what I'm told even though they were interesting in bringing him in, Chris has actually pulled his name from consideration. He's going to stay with the Spurs. He's happy in San Antonio."

Paul has played just 27 of the team's 48 games this season due to injuries.

Hard Cap Not Expected In NBA's New Collective Bargaining Agreement
리그 사무국과 선수 조합이 새로운 CBA 룰을 두고 협상 중인 가운데, 아마도 절대 합의되지 못할 사안으로 하드 캡 도입이 꼽히고 있습니다.
JAN 23, 2023 1:59 PM
The NBA and NBPA continue to negotiate their next collective bargaining agreement. One part of the talks that is not expected to be part of the final agreement is a hard cap, which the NBA has euphemistically called an "Upper Spending Limit."
In early December, Marc Stein of Substack reported that the NBA was genuine in their pursuit of a hard cap and that it wasn't simply a negotiating tactic.
"There's not going to be a hard salary cap... I don't think," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "I don't want to talk in absolutes. I think if that was really on the table, I don't think we'd be hearing there's momentum in talks.
"There sounds like there will be changes to the luxury tax system. Potentially making the high payrolls even more penal to try to get them under control. Also, possibly changing the levels of which teams are taxed, so there may be a give and take."

Terance Mann Could Be Clippers' Long-Term Starting Point Guard
LAC는 Terance Mann이 이번 시즌 뿐만 아니라 한동안 LAC의 주전 포인트 가드로 나설 것이라 기대한다고 하네요.
JAN 23, 2023 12:27 PM
The Los Angeles Clippers believe Terance Mann could become their starting point guard beyond this season, a source told Law Murray of The Athletic.
Tyronn Lue, however, ideally views Mann as a small forward. Lue would prefer to keep a traditional point guard in the Clippers' rotation.
Mann is signed through the 24-25 season after agreeing to a two-year, $22 million extension in 2021.
The emergence of Mann at point guard could make John Wall expendable.
