Jamal Crawford

Frustrated the Atlanta Hawks have not offered him a contract extension, Jamal Crawford will ask the club to trade him, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Crawford, who is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $10 million this season, approached the Hawks the first week of July about an extension.

Hawks general manager Rick Sund has not made Crawford an offer, a source with the organization told ESPN.

Josh Boone

Still in the market for an additional big man, the Hawks lost an option on Monday when Kwame Brown agreed to a one-year deal with the Bobcats.

Atlanta is known to have some interest in Francisco Elson, Brian Skinner and Josh Boone, but nothing appears imminent.

The Hawks had interest in Brown, but he opted to go to Charlotte for the same amount of money Atlanta could have given him.

Earl Boykins

The Atlanta Hawks have reached out to free agent veteran Earl Boykins, according to sources.

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.

Shaquille O'Neal

The Knicks have inquired about a sign-and-trade with the Cavaliers for free agent Shaquille O’Neal.

O’Neal, 38, played for Mike D’Antoni in Phoenix for half a season in 2008. Reports, however, have O’Neal headed to Atlanta for Marvin Williams.

A Knicks source said, “I don’t think it would work with us on many levels.”

Joe Johnson

Free agent Joe Johnson is staying with the Atlanta Hawks, his agent said in a blog published on the Huffington Post website on Sunday.

Arn Tellem, Johnson’s agent, said that Johnson was impressed with the team’s commitment to him and agreed to accept the club’s six-year contract offer. He confirmed the post to The Associated Press.

Atlanta offered Johnson, a four-time All-Star, approximately $119 million over six years — nearly $27 million more than any other team could offer.

Joe Johnson

According to sources, the Hawks did offer free agent Joe Johnson a full max contract said to be worth $127 million yesterday and that he is close to agreeing to those terms to remain in Atlanta.

Johnson also met yesterday with Knicks’ coach Mike D’Antoni and may meet with Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban today.

The Bulls and Rockets have also expressed interest in meeting with Johnson.

The Mavericks will explore a sign-and-trade deal for Joe Johnson, according to sources.

Dallas is unlikely to seriously pursue LeBron James and Johnson has become a realistic target.

Johnson might prefer a sign-and-trade with Dallas over signing outright with the Knicks or Bulls, sources said.

“New York is far from his first option,” one source with knowledge of Johnson’s thinking said.

Mark Jackson

According to sources, the Atlanta Hawks will interview ESPN/ABC analyst Mark Jackson for their head coaching job on Saturday in Atlanta.

Jackson is expected to be the last candidate for the position, according to another source with knowledge of the Hawks’ process.

Former Minnesota coach Dwane Casey and former Dallas coach and ESPN analyst Avery Johnson have been part of two Hawks interviews.

Mike Woodson

Executive VP/General Manager Rick Sund met with Coach Mike Woodson this morning and informed him that he will not be offered a new contract.

“After careful consideration, we have made a difficult decision regarding Coach Woodson’s contractual status,” said Sund. “We’re grateful for Mike’s contributions over the last six years and we want to wish him the very best.”

Named the 10th head coach in Atlanta Hawks’ history on July 8, 2004, Woodson produced a 206-286 (.419) record in six seasons at the helm of the Hawks, and a 53-29 (.646) mark this past season. He coached Atlanta to three straight postseason appearances, finishing with an 11-18 (.379) record.

Joe Johnson

Once everybody gets over not getting LeBron James, Johnson appears to be near the top of several teams’ list, including the Miami Heat.

Johnson is apparently ready to explore all of his options and commented specifically on the possibility of moving to Miami and teaming up with Dwyane Wade: “That’s a great situation — you have to look at it,” Johnson said.

“I’m not saying I’ll go play with him or him. But being a free agent, you pay attention to everybody’s salary cap, what everybody can do.”
