The Hawks' recent success and unselfish brand of basketball have helped the team attract quality free agents over the last few offseasons, and Atlanta has quietly become an attractive free agency destination.
A few days ago, Kris Humphries claimed in an interview that he signed with the Atlanta Hawks because he wanted the chance to play in the playoffs again. This is somewhat unsurprising, since one would expect a player of Humphries' age and caliber to look for teams that have a good chance of success. That Humphries would speak so highly of Atlanta is encouraging though, since it shows that players across the league see the Hawks as a team worth considering in free agency.
