• Sprewell likes Hawks: Latrell Sprewell's agent said his client would love to fill the Hawks' need for more veteran leadership. And since Sprewell is currently out of the league, having turned down a three year, $20 million extension in Minnesota last summer, he's available. "Latrell is very much interested and has indicated a number of times his desire to play for the Hawks," said Sprewell's Atlanta-based agent Bob Gist. "He likes the fact the [Hawks'] owners, GM and certainly the coach are committed to amassing a winning team. He thinks he could make a major contribution to the team and he loves the city." Hawks general manager Billy Knight said he has had conversations with Gist, the last ending with this succinct explanation as to why the Hawks have no interest in his client. "We're loaded with players at the wing positions," Knight said Tuesday. "And we really have no interest in Latrell Sprewell joining our team."

They need all the veteran leadership they can get.

Committed to amassing a winning team?

They are going to struggle to win 15 games this year.

At least Knight is wising up. After Pachulia and Lue, that entire team is nothing but SG's and SF's.
