Z Update: ATL Players Campaign For Him

Yahoo reports the Hawks will make a push for Z. They have the mid level exception to play with if they want, which is more than the Cavs can offer (who have only the bi annual exception).

The article includes numerous quotes from Hawks players salivating about the idea of playing with Z. Al Horford says he’d even watch Z’s kids for him, hoping it would free him up to move back to the 4. And then Joe Johnson basically states that he has no reason to believe Z would want to leave the team with the best record in the NBA and come to ATL, where the Hawks frequently struggle to maintain consistency. He even says, “A lot of other nights we just come out and are mediocre.”
