Hawks Continue To Build Roster, Sign Murray

Coming on the heels of Maurice Evans, Randolph Morris, Othello Hunter, and Thomas Gardner, the Hawks continued to reshape the roster today with another free agent signing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present: Ronald "Flip" Murray, newest Hawk and a guy who has the potential to fill a role the Hawks have been missing for the last several years - bench gunner. Dude can score.

For those that aren't familiar with his exploits, I'll give you a brief recap of his career:

Murray burst onto the scene in Seattle in 2003-04, stepping in for an injured Ray Allen to provide scoring for the Sonics, eventually appearing in all 82 games that season. He has bounced around a bit since then, playing for Detroit, Cleveland, and Indiana, but he's been a capable scorer at all stops and has shown the ability to start when needed.

The thing I like about Murray's game is his ability to create his own shot, a skill not many Hawks possess save for Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby (though I think Acie Law is developing). He's a vet, he's been in the playoffs, and he gives the team another shooter to take some of the pressure off our starters.

What do you think?
