[DrReality]

Sekou needs to get this scoop. If we get to hear the terms?

[Admin]

I think the title should be changed to Merged ad nauseum.

LOL I'd rather people post it than not post anything ... maybe it needs to be a sticky.

Zaza's deal is done. No word yet on Marvin. Hawks doing work early this summer. Me likes!

HOW MUCH IS THE DEAL?!?!?!?! :help wanted3:

[Brotha2ThaNite]

Sorry, that "significantly more money" has me wondering how much money did that really play KING ZAZA. He is one of my favorite players but I don't want Sund to go bunkers. lol

The crazy thing about it is that Zaza has said nothing about this on his twitter page

I doubt it's that much more than he made last season. Probably close to the MLE if I had to guess. 1.5 million more is significantly more money IMO.

Damn, now that you put it that way significantly would mean 100, 000 to me :super:

not to shabby. still keeping it under $5 million a year is a pretty good deal for atl.

Excellent news, that's VERY reasonable IMO. And Chad Ford compliments the Hawks as well!

Agreed to Terms With: Hawks

Salary: 4 years, $19 million

The Hawks have done a good job of getting in there and one-by-one re-signing their free agents. With Bibby and Pachulia wrapped up their attention now turns to Marvin Williams.

[DeacKillsaDevil]

It's a bargain compared to Gortat's deal and Zaza is more productive.

I agree! Great news!

Sund is doing something right if we get that donut to compliment us.

WOW! THAT IS GOOD NEWS! FOR ZAZA TOO. WISH I WAS MAKING THAT. LOL

Wait, did you say you got this news from ESPN??? :comp_virus:

[chico1]

no details or anything, just posted on his twitter page. Hope he's right.

Update Hawks, Pachulia agree to terms

Normally i would not see this as a good move. I've never thought Zaza brought much to the team. But since it looks like there are no good big man willing to come here for this upcoming season, this looks like a good move after all. I really don't think Zaza will stay with the Hawks for 4 years. As a matter of fact, mark my words, "Zaza will not stay for the Hawks for the next 4 years." At least not if the Hawks as an organization have winning a championship as one of their short term goals. I think he will most likely be used in a package deal to get a dominant big man in the near future.

Well, I'd say there is a better chance of Zaza being with Atlanta over the next four years than there is of him being dealt for a dominant big man. Why? Because dominant big men are so few and far between these days. There aren't any coming up on the horizon at the college level. Everything is cyclic, but for the time being, the day of the dominant big men is over. The NBA will be dominated by guards in the near future.

I disagree. Name the specific teams you are talking about that are ruling the NBA by dominant guard play. There are no Shaq like players out there, but to me the succesful teams have a capable and big frontline.

If the $19M is true, that's a STEAL!

Outside of Dwight Howard, there was not a dominant big man in the Finals. Kobe Bryant is a guard.

Look at the top players in the NBA these days. They are guards. Kobe, Lebron, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul....etc. The rules of the league these days allows for free flowing guard play.

Good deal
