The Atlanta Hawks traded guard Mike Bibby, rookie guard Jordan Crawford, swingman Maurie Evans and a first-round pick in the 2011 draft to the Washington Wizards in exchange for guard Kirk Hinrich and forward Hilton Armstrong.

And I'm a bit surprised that the person who wrote the SI.com article considered Hinrich to be an upgrade over Bibby.

Hinrich was high on the Lakers' wish list, so this is a loss for them.

I remember that both Bibby and Hinrich have seen better days. Hinrich was a very capable #2 on the young post-Jordan Bulls and Bibby came within a Tim Donaghy of the Finals. That was a long time ago and neither guy is what you'd consider a spring chicken.

He is. Big time. Not sure I'm happy with the loss of the draft pick (and we never got a chance to see if Jordan Crawford is gonna be any good) but we are happy.

Any chance we can offload Joe Johnson's contract too??

I really wanted to start another Knicks thread, but it might be redundant at this point. D'Antoni has come to New York! To bad only about 3 or 4 of the current players fit his style of play.
