Title: Bibby being dealt to the Hawks
Post by: Mo Z. Dizzle on February 16, 2008, 01:42:51 PM
Hawks to send 4 to Kings for Bibby
February 16, 2008

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to acquire veteran point guard Mike Bibby from the Sacramento Kings.

Hawks owner Michael Gearon Jr. says the Hawks are to send four players to the Kings. Among them are 2007 first-round pick Shelden Williams and starting point guard Anthony Johnson.

The Hawks also would send guard Tyronn Lue and veteran forward-center Lorenzen Wright to the Kings.

Gearon says the deal is expected to be completed Saturday.

Bibby missed the start of the season with a thumb injury but is averaging 13.5 points and 5.0 assists in 15 games.

I like this trade. Beno was more effective then Bibby neways and this will free up more playing time for Douby\Garcia\Salmons..And we get a bunch of expioring contracts we can now make some moves in the offseason

Bibby, Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Horford With Childress as a solid 6th man, not bad in the east.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for both teams. Udrih is playing great so they don't really need Bibby, and the Hawks got a PG without giving up any of their core players.

Damn...Good deal for both teams. Shelden Williams has been a let down, though. The Hawks have some serious talent now. They might even contend in the East. :o

Great Pickup..
Bibby is/has been one of the Most underated PG's in the game.
The hawk's Gonna make a Run  now in the East.

People talk about The west being wide Open, The east is spread Eagle Aswell.
Besides the Obvious Top 2, Shit is Anyones Spot to take.

 :cheers: 4 The Hawks.

Kinda sucks that the Kings couldnt dump Kenny Thomas in the process. Him, Artest and SAR gotta go somehow. Hopefully Petrie has something up his sleeve. Melo is pressuring the Nuggets FO to make the Artest deal happen.

I've had two instant thoughts when I read that:

1.) LeBron must have some snipers on Ferry already
2.) Damn, Salmons lost even more value. If Artest doesn't get traded, I will have to drop his ass. Too bad, he could have been a real nigga.

I've always thought Bibby was that dude. Since he played in Arizona...

I want to see him get his proper recognition once and for all.

Proper recognition? He was considered a top point guard in the league a few years back...now he's just past his prime. Still could be very solid, but his superstar days are over.

Being regarded as a top point guard is fine and dandy.. I'm talking about being considered a great leader and actually doing something in the playoffs.

Like NIK said, as recently as about 2-3 years ago even, he was considered by most knowledgeable basketball fans to be a top 5 pg and one of the premier clutch shooters in the league. He has had his proper recognition. Thats not bad for somebody who has never been to the Finals.

Yeah.. but what im saying is with a team like Atlanta, Im hoping that hell become more than just a top 5 pg, but a solid leader and the recognition as such. Ultimately, im saying I hope the dude starts to win more and not get bounced before the finals.

Bibby, looks like he Might have Tweaked his Heel/Ankle?
(For Some Reason The Fans Really Love him At Staples.. ;D )

Bibby Looks Alot Smaller in a Hawks Uni...
I Hope He's Alright Tho, I can See Him Helping The Young hawks Alot.
He's Got alot of high flyer's to pass it to
