The Atlanta Hawks have officially announced new deals to re-sign unrestricted free agents Mike Bibby and Zaza Pachulia.

Hawks coach Mike Woodson said the two are returning to "finish what we started" after leading the team to two straight playoff appearances.

Terms of the deals, first reported last week, were not announced Monday.

However, a source close to the negotiations told ESPN.com's Chad Ford last week the sides had agreed to a four year, $19 million dollar deal with Pachulia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported last Tuesday that, according to sources, Bibby's deal was a three-year contract for about $18 million.

Bibby resolved a problem at point guard when he was acquired during the 2007-08 season. Pachulia has been a starter or top backup at center for four seasons.

Woodson said he hopes the team re-signs forward Marvin Williams, a restricted free agent.
