Kris Humphries wasn't without a job for too long. Shortly after the Phoenix Suns announced they waived the veteran forward, the 31-year-old agreed to terms with the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, per Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"Basketball always comes down to winning and competing, especially now that the season is so long," said Humphries early Sunday morning before news of his buyout by Phoenix, per Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic. "[Joining a playoff team] is always an option."
The Vertical's Bobby Marks provided the financial particulars of this deal from Atlanta's perspective:
Humphries appeared in just four games for the Suns, with the bulk of his time coming with the Washington Wizards this season. He was involved in the trade that sent forward Markieff Morris to Washington, D.C., at the Feb. 18 trade deadline.
In 32 games for the Suns and Wizards, Humphries averaged 6.5 points on 38.1 percent shooting and 4.6 rebounds a game. He has become somewhat of a three-point threat for the first time in his NBA career, shooting 33.8 percent from beyond the arc.
