They signed Locklear to a 5 year deal too. It looks like they're getting there deals done now instead at the very last moment. Wonder if they're going to target anything special in free agency.

Pretty darn close $ 9,465,000 to be exact..Good signing by the Hawks!!

See that Mariners and Sonics? They Hawks are doing it right. They are KEEPING their good young players!!!

Wonder why they're the only team that are in the playoffs?
