The Atlanta Hawks have reached a verbal agreement to re-sign wing Kent Bazemore on a four-year deal worth $70 million, his agent, Austin Walton, said.The fourth year of the deal is a player option, league sources told ESPN.Bazemore, who turned 27 on Friday, is a defensive specialist who has worked his way up after going undrafted. He had several suitors, including the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers.My life has gone the right direction in Atlanta -- on and off the court, Bazemore told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Its a great fit. Im beyond elated.Bazemore declined four-year, $72 million offers from the Rockets and Lakers, a source told ESPN, confirming an NBA.com report.Bazemore played 23 games for the Lakers after they traded for him in 2014, and a source said he seriously considered their offer before deciding to return to the Hawks.Combined with their agreement with Dwight Howard on a three-year, $70.5 million deal earlier Friday, the Hawks have nearly exhausted their available salary-cap space, while All-Star free agent and nine-year team veteran Al Horford has yet to pick a team.However, the Hawks were engaged in trade talks Friday that potentially would allow them to open more cap space in the event Horford decided to re-sign.
