Rumor: Hawks set to acquire Hinrich?

Not interested in Hinrich.

Not worried about Hinrich in Atlanta... Atlanta doesnt scare me anymore.

This trade is done according to RealGM. While Hinrich will help the Hawks as a PG because he is a better shooter and defender than Bibby, Jordan Crawford was the best player in the deal. Washington got the best end of this deal.


Oops, thinking of Jamal Crawford. I guess Atlanta did get a decent deal here.

Not sure I would have given up the 1st rounder though.....

I think Washington did OK here. They got a first when they dealt for Hinrich, and now they get another trading him away. Bibby to mentor Wall, or will they flip him?

Hinrich a big upgrade over Bibby defensively. Nice deal for Atlanta. But they still look poised for a first round exit in the playoffs.

Hawks upgraded. Hinrich is underrated and much better then Bibby. He compliments their lineup well and his salary depreciates each year. Also got a big who has six more fouls and block some shots in Armstrong. This draft is supposed to be bad, so I doubt the pick matters. Hinrich would give Nelson issues in the first round with his defense. Bibby was a spot up shooter at this point in his career.

Very nice trade by Atlanta.

Mike Bibby is a shambolic player that has no business playing regular minutes on an NBA team anymore ... replacing Bibby with Kirk Hinrich is a very good upgrade. Major addition to their supporting cast.

It does cast even more doubt about the Hawks ability to re-sign Jamal Crawford this offseason. They are pretty tight with those purse strings.

Big move for the Hawks.  They added a guy that is actually a starting PG. 


They have improved the team defense. 






The good thing for us, he didn't go to LA.

TP for "shambolic".  I have no idea what it means but I love it.  Must be the adjective for sham

I think Wall might mentor Bibby into a nearly adequate backup......I kid, sort of......
