How much you think Phoenix is paying him and how much will UK give him?
Just wondering.

My understanding is he currently makes about $1M/yr, maybe a little less.

If UK was giving Tubby $2.1M, they would give him at least $3M/yr and possibly $4M/$5M.

From what I could find online, the 10th highest coach's salary in 2005 was $3.3 million (Byron Scott). Hard to see Mike D'Antoni significantly less.

Smith's contract was bloated. The top salaries are around $1.5-$2.0M

And where is he going to recruit, Italy?
