    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> DELK RELEASED: Pleased with the development of suspended guard Salim Stoudamire, the Hawks released veteran guard Tony Delk on Friday.

    Delk's status was determined a day after the NBA trading deadline, which will allow him to seek a deal with a playoff contender.

    "Hopefully it will be a good deal for him," Hawks general manager Billy Knight said.

    Stoudamire, who missed Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers, was suspended for two games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team. He'll also miss tonight's game against Milwaukee.

    Stoudamire, a second-round pick in last year's draft, is averaging 9.6 points in 19.9 minutes a game. His attitude problems come when he's pulled from games. The Hawks hope the suspension will led to an attitude adjustment.

    "We've got Salim Stoudamire," Knight said. "Salim plays the same position, so we are going to play Salim. It's unfortunate for Tony to be in that situation, but at this time, that's the hand we were dealt, and we're going to wish him the best."

    Delk, a 10-year veteran from Kentucky, played in one regular-season game for the Hawks on Feb. 12 at Sacramento. He scored two points in seven minutes. </div>

    There was a thread made a couple days ago that announced the news [of Salim Staudamire's suspension], but the article doesn't say why. Sometimes the team just elects not to make that sort of stuff public.

    I was under the impression that was because, he became upset after being benched during a game when he felt he was getting hot and he yelled at Coach Woodson about it later.

    Salim got put back in the game with under a minute left and when he took he warm-ups off at the check in table he threw them down angrily. This caused the coach to change his mind about him entering the game, and he was later suspended.
