You either...

A. Never watch the Hawks

or

B. Are the 3,456th ? to click on this thread and think JORDAN is the same as JAMAL Crawford. lol

Or all the above.

The whole point in bringing Bibby to ATL in the first place was to bring a veteran presence and help them win in the playoffs -- besides playing well against Boston (took them to seven games the year they won it all, and swept the Celtics in the regular season last year) he hasn't accomplished that. As K.O.P mentioned above -- he's a liability when they try to run the court.

Hinrich is basically the real version of what ATL thought they were getting when they originally acquired Bibby.

I know the CS ? thinks the NBA is a 4 team league and every other team is fighting for lottery picks, but don't forget the Hawks could have easily sent three players to the All-Star game this year, have arguably the best sixth man in the game, and have had that fourth/fifth spot in the East locked down for two years now.

I'm glad they're not falling for the "Mr. Me Too" syndrome and ? up their future just so casual fans can say "they might do something now".

I've been saying Bibby's been a ? for the past 2 yrs, u just now hearing it. And I know the difference, I'm a knicks fan dude.

And so the ? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat lol. Have you realized, you ? are never in the talk about the best teams in the East. Nobody. Nobody. Considers y'all great. You added Kirk (play better off the bench) Hinrich.

Yeah you freed up cap space, but are you ? the knicks??? Are you ? the nets??? I thought y'all were a team that "could've sent 3 ppl to the all star game." Now y'all trying to save cap space for more players??? What's wrong with ones you got. Oh I know....they'll never be good enough to win anything of importance. As they've proven, over and over again.

Y'all have an egregious amount of talent to not even be considered a top team in the east. The definition of insanity is doing the same things twice and expecting different results. So you waited til midseason to trade for kirk hinrich.....that's your postseason saving move???

Hawks needa holla at the Bobcats and trade Marvin Williams for Gerald Wallace.

This is the most big name activity I can remember in the NBA in YEARS as far as trades go....especially if you combine it with the free-agency that started it all..

You think the Cavs will by Baron out???

i hope so man but i doubt it i think he has a couple more years left on his contract

And Baron Davis a Cav.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed in principle to a trade that would send Baron Davis and the Clippers' 2011 first-round draft pick to Cleveland in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon, league sources confirmed to ESPN.com.



Davis

Williams

The deal saves the Clippers considerable money the next two seasons while giving them a younger point guard who made the All-Star team while playing with LeBron James.

Davis is still owed nearly $28 million over the next two seasons and the balance of his $13 million contract this year. Moon's contract expires after this season. Williams is owed the balance of his $9.3 million salary this season and, with player options of $8.5 million for each of the next two years, potentially could get out of his contract altogether. The savings should give the Clippers more flexibility in free agency the next two seasons.

The Clippers would give up a likely top-10 lottery pick to make the savings happen. "That just shows you how much we hate this draft," one Clippers source told ESPN.com.

But the lottery pick from the Clippers was exactly what the Cavs were after. A Cavs source told ESPN.com that the trade was made primarily for the draft pick.

"We know we're going to have to build this team through the lottery," the source said. "We hope Baron works out, but our primary focus was the pick. We really wanted two top-10 picks to infuse the team with young talent."

In Davis, the Cavs would get a veteran who, when he's engaged, is one of the top point guards in the league. But will Davis be engaged on a team with the worst record in the NBA?

Is there anyone in this years draft that can help Cleveland

Why!?!? Marv's a slower, less talented overall version of Gerald.

Baron, call the goons up ? . They ? on you.

I'd retire and throw up the deuces on them ? , voiding the contract.

I wish the Bulls would pull off a trade for a sg since everyone else making moves
