    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday the team has made an offer to sign Milwaukee center Zaza Pachulia, a restricted free agent who averaged 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in a backup role for the Bucks last season.</div>

    SWEET! i'm a huge fan of this guy. i think if he was given good minutes, he could be a 10-8-1 kind of huy for us, which is what we need. plus, he is a great outlet passer, so we can fask break anyone out of the building.

    Dammit! I was hoping Zaza would come back to Orlando. Nice pickup, Hawks.

    ^ thanks. you guys wouldn't need him though. dwight howard is one of the last true centers in the league. (and ironicly he plays PF.)

    Haha, no offense, but I it's pretty funny that you add the 1 in there.

    Anyway, just ask any Bucks fan, Zaza Pachulia is one of the most underrated players in the league. If the Bucks don't match this, the Hawks are getting one hell of a steal, and this goes a long way to solving their lack of a post presence. If Pachulia doesn't start for the Hawks, then I definitely see him in a 6th man type role.

    (Side note: Does anyone have a clip of Lorenzen Wright punching Zaza Pachulia in the face from last preseason? I just lost mine.)

    It's official. Zaza is now a Hawk.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Zach Eisendrath/RealGM - Zaza Pachulia joined the Hawks on Monday after the Milwaukee Bucks declined to match a four-year, $16 million offer sheet.

    The 21-year-old Pachulia, a 6-foot-11 center from Tbilisi, Georgia, was a restricted free agent. He averaged 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds for the Bucks as a backup last season.

    Larry Harris announced Monday that the Bucks would let Pachulia walk to the Hawks in exchange for nothing. 16 million over four years seemed like a bargain with the potential Zaza posses. Now he will have a great opportunity with plenty of playing time to prove to the Hawks they are getting one of the biggest steals of the off-season.</div>
