While the possibility of adding free-agent center Shaquille O’Neal lingers, the Atlanta Hawks made another move to shore up their frontcourt by re-signing Jason Collins, reports Lang Whitaker of SLAM Online.
A nine-year veteran, Collins played in 24 games for the Hawks last year, averaging 0.7 points and 0.6 rebounds. He provides size and fouls to use defensively against the league’s beefier centers.
