It appears as though Hawks coach Mike Woodson will enter next season in the final year of his contract.
Woodson met with Atlanta general manager Rick Sund this week.
"There's always pressure, if you want to call it that," Woodson said. "I don't look at it as pressure because I'm not made like that. All these people talking about fire Woodson and all that stuff, it's never entered my mind. I swear.
"The chatter is what it is. But we're not going to do anything but keep pushing ahead trying to take another step next year."
