Free-agent swingman Kent Bazemore has agreed to terms on a new deal with the Atlanta Hawks, according to sources close to the process.

Sources said the in-demand Bazemore -- purused by the reigning champion San Antonio Spurs and several other teams -- will sign a two-year deal worth a guaranteed $4 million from the Hawks.

After playing sparingly in his first season and a half in the league, Bazemore emerged as a sleeper free agent following a solid finish to the 2013-14 campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Traded to L.A. in the deal that sent Steve Blake to Golden State, Bazemore averaged 13.1 points over the season's final 23 games with the Lakers, shooting 45.1 percent from the floor and 37.1 percent from 3-point range.
