Would the Hawks trade point guard Jason Terry if it would improve the team? General manager Pete Babcock said yes Sunday.

But is Babcock looking to deal Terry? "No," Babcock said.

"We're not looking to move talent; we're looking to acquire talent," Babcock said. "We're talking to teams, trying to get things done. And I can tell you the prevailing sentiment right now is that teams want to wait to get closer to the [Feb. 20] trade deadline before making commitments."

"No question, we're talking," Babcock said. "Anything that makes us a better team now and for the future and makes sense financially will be considered and is being considered. But I can tell you that we do not feel that we have to move certain players.

"And certainly Jason is not being shopped."
