When the Rasheed Wallace deal (no, the second one) was complete, Hawks fans had to wonder what the mindset of the guys that were headed towards Atlanta would be. Going from an Eastern conference contender to a team that was publicly stating that it wasn?t challenging for anything could provide a reason to check out for the season.

But in two games since the deal was official, Bob Sura has shown that he isn?t here to play out the string or slack off for the final 25 or so games.

The Hawks Front Office talks to Sura about his role with the team and how the team might need him for longer than these last 25 games.

Also, Stephen Jackson tells RealGM that he has no problem with staying in Atlanta after this season is complete, and offers his views on why he might like to be a part of the Hawks future, as well as offering an opinion on whether other free agents would share his views.
