In response to crd012
I think the important detail about this contract for him is that he has a player option to opt out next year. Most likely he'll start for the hawks this year at center, it allows him to prove himself as a starter and try to get a bigger payday next year. But yea at it's face value, 2 year 10 million is pretty disappointing.
Yes, the player opt-out makes it a better deal from his perspective. That feature wasn't in the first tweet about his signing.

It is possible that Mike had a strong preference for Atlanta, since it is the franchise that developed him and because his fiance is from that area.
