Via ESPN:

The Atlanta Hawks are closing in on their second significant trade of this early offseason, agreeing in principle Monday to trade forward Marvin Williams for Utah Jazz point guard Devin Harris, according to sources briefed on the discussions.

The deal, which is pending league approval, would mean that new Hawks general manager Danny Ferry will have shed Atlanta’s two most onerous contracts — Joe Johnson and Williams — in his first week-plus on the job.

Along with the Joe Johnson trade, this one won’t become official until July 11.
