The Atlanta Hawks have reached out to free agent veteran Earl Boykins, confirmed a league source to RealGM. Boykins helped stabilize a tumultuous season for the Washington Wizards, appearing in 67 games and averaging 14.2 points per 36 minutes. His 09-10 season was a return to the NBA after a lucrative interlude playing in Italy for Virtus Bologna during the 08-09 season. Despite being 34-years-old, Boykins remains one of the NBA's most effective scorers off the bench. Boykins is amongst a group of veteran free agent guards, including Earl Watson, Jannero Pargo and Rafer Alston. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/atlanta-hawks-reach-out-to-earl-boykins.php
