The Atlanta Hawks signed former Virginia Tech Hokie Jarell Eddie to a 10-day contract on Mar. 4 and this clip from the NBA D-League 3-point contest looks like it might be a strong reason as to why. A long-armed, big wing who can shoot threes? The Atlanta Hawks should be able to work with that. […]

Jared Johnson of Bleacher Report: “When you’re an elite team like the 48-12 Atlanta Hawks, it’s important to have players who understand what their skills are. For example, Kyle Korver shouldn’t call an isolation play for himself with the score tied and 20 seconds left to in the game. Likewise, Pero Antic shouldn’t demand the […]

Patrick Laney of Peachtree Hoops: “As the Atlanta Hawks approach Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, it is difficult to identify what a team with a 6.5 game lead over the number 2 seed in the East should do to improve.

Howard Beck of Bleacher Report: “NEW YORK — LeBron James was taking questions Friday. If you could get to him. The Cavaliers star was sealed off behind a frantic mob of reporters and cameras, a tangle of outstretched arms, bumping elbows, iPods on selfie sticks, dangling microphones and stationary floodlights.

Ian Levy of Five Thirty Eight: “In the NBA, the apex of individual shooting is a 50-40-90 season — shooting 50 percent from the field, 40 percent on 3-pointers and 90 percent on free throws.
