Report: Hawks finalizing deal with Alex Len

The Atlanta Hawks and unrestricted free-agent center Alex Len are finalizing a two-year, $8.5-million contract, sources told Yahoo's Shams Charania.

Len has spent his entire five-year NBA career with the Phoenix Suns, but has seen his minutes drop each season since 2015-16. In March, the 7-foot-1 Ukrainian candidly admitted he probably wouldn't re-sign in Phoenix.

Len can be a defensive anchor in the middle. But so far in his career, he's been lacking a perimeter shot to stretch opposing defenses.
