The Hawks could have a really exciting team this year since they seem serious about signing some good free agents, between Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Al Harrington and Josh Childress, thats a pretty good team with alot of potential add a healthy Eddy Curry to the mix and you got a potential playoff team.
SourceBulls center Eddy Curry said Sunday he plans to make a free-agent visit to Atlanta but is not sure when he’ll make the trip.
“It’s part of the whole process, I think,” Curry said in a phone conversation. “At this point, I can’t see myself playing for any team but Chicago. But it’s pretty much out of my hands.
“I’ll just do what I have to do and hopefully at the end of the day, I’ll still be in Chicago.”
Curry is a restricted free agent, and the Bulls have the right to match any offer sheet he signs with another team. Atlanta has roughly $24 million available to spend on free agents this summer.
Curry said he has not had meaningful discussions with any other NBA teams.
General manager John Paxson has repeatedly stressed the Bulls will match any offer to restricted free agents Curry, Tyson Chandler and Chris Duhon. If the Hawks are serious about obtaining Curry, though, it could launch sign-and-trade discussions.
The teams may be agreeable to swapping Curry for 6-foot-9 power forward Al Harrington. Atlanta needs a center badly and just drafted another power forward, North Carolina freshman Marvin Williams, with the No. 2 pick.
Harrington, 25, averaged 17.5 points and 7.0 rebounds for the Hawks, who posted the NBA’s worst record last season.
Curry just finished his first week of workouts with personal trainer Tim Grover following three months of inactivity due to a heart condition. Curry said the workouts are going well.
