Crawford coming back to Hawks as part of 3-team deal

By The Associated Press

DENVER — The Atlanta Hawks received Jamal Crawford, Diamond Stone, and cash considerations as part of a three-team deal with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets.

The Clippers acquired forward Danilo Gallinari from Denver as part of the deal, which was announced Thursday.

Crawford returns to the Hawks, where he played from 2009-11. He's captured the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award three times.

The sharp-shooting Gallinari joins a Clippers team that recently traded Chris Paul to Houston, but agreed to a five-year deal with Blake Griffin.

Gallinari was originally selected by New York with the sixth overall pick in 2008. He wound up in Denver as part of the blockbuster deal in February 2011 that sent Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks. A fan favorite, Gallinari averaged 16.2 points and made 535 3-pointers for the Nuggets.
