DAY 1 RESULTS
Hawks Sign SF DeShawn Stevenson for $118,125,000 over 6 years.
Ratings: B A A A C B
Previous team: Chicago Bulls
Why they signed: Hawks had max cap room....DSS was the top FA in this class....An all star caliber player in this league who owns career averages of 19 ppg, 6 rpg, 7 apg.....Unless the team surrounds him with talent, the Hawks are still far from competing so.....
I get to play who wants Deshawn now. WEEEE!
