Free agent point guard Mike Bibby has agreed to a three-year deal worth an estimated $18 million to return to the Hawks, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Wednesday is the first day NBA free agents are allowed to sign contracts.
Bibby, 31, guided the Hawks to back-to-back playoff appearances in his year and half with the team after being acquired in a trade with Sacramento at the trade deadline in February 2008.
An 11-year veteran, Bibby averaged 14.9 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 last season for the Hawks, who won 47 games during the regular season and advanced to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time in over a decade.
Bibby?s deal is the first of several the Hawks have to get done this summer. Hawks general manager Rick Sund is scheduled to fly to Washington today to meet with representatives for fellow Hawks free agents Marvin Williams, Zaza Pachulia and Josh Childress.
Williams and Childress are restricted free agents, while Pachulia is an unrestricted free agent.
Gracias Danny for telling us things we did not know...
