So Mo ended up rejecting the Warriors offer in the end
First, the Warriors — looking to take advantage of salary cap space — flirted with Orlando’s free-agent swingman Maurice Evans for a few days. A Warriors source told Bay Area News Group that Evans spurned their three-year, $6.4 million
Well that’s good news for the Warriors because Azubuike is better and younger, plus it makes the Azubuike signing that much more necessary.
From the Atlanta Consitutional, click here for the full article:
The Hawks didn’t waste any time filling the void left by Josh Childress, who signed a three-year deal with a Greek team Wednesday.
Journeyman Maurice Evans has agreed to terms with the Hawks on a three-year deal believed to be worth about $7.5 million, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Good signing by the Hawks. Nice little recovery play. Mo Evans might be an upgrade for the Hawks next season. They desperately need more perimeter shooting which Mo can provide and he’s a decent upgrade defensively.
As for Mo, he got a better contract and ended up on a team with a better chance of making the playoffs, plus he has a better chance of earning a more significant role with Atlanta. Great bit of business by Mo and his agent.
