I know this has more to do with Atlanta, but since this guy was with the Lakers for 6 years, I feel it's necessary to have a thread in here.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Atlanta Hawks today signed veteran free agent forward/center Stanislav ?Slava? Medvedenko, according to Hawks? Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.Medvedenko spent six years with the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-06), averaging 5.4 ppg and 2.9 rpg in 249 career games (.451 FG%, .732 FT%).

All I can say about this sign is, wow. I can't believe Slava is actually going to be in the league again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_PJ5xFQeXg
Yeah, I made a topic about his workout with the Hawks in the Hawks Forum. I'm glad to see him back in the league after his season ending injury with the Lakers. Good Luck to him and hope he does well for the Hawks.http://youtube.com/watch?v=R_PJ5xFQeXg
