Re: WIZ/HAWKS TRADE: Hinrich,Armstrong for Bibby,Jordan Crawford, and Evans FINALIZED
This is EXTREMELY good for both teams. Glad to see more talent in Washington than just Wall and others.
Re: WIZ/HAWKS TRADE: Hinrich,Armstrong for Bibby,Jordan Crawford, and Evans FINALIZED
Looks like Bibby will be taking his talents down to South Beach.
He'll get tons of open looks, and he can nail those. Still one of the best shooters of open jump shots at the point guard position (although his speed limits his ability to create his own shots).
Re: WIZ/HAWKS TRADE: Hinrich,Armstrong for Bibby,Jordan Crawford, and Evans FINALIZED
Hinrich is a solid pickup for Atlanta. They now have a player for each position that is capable of individually shutting down each of the team's other 5 positions. I would like to see them try this lineup and move Al and Josh back to their natural positions.
PG: Hinrich/Teague
SG: Johnson/Crawford
SF: Smith/Williams
PF: Horford/Powell
C: Pachulia/Armstrong
:eek:

Bibby gave up 6 million next year to get off the wizards. I suddenly feel embarrassed for that team.

You make yourself worse at C and negligibly better, at best, at SF and PF. Making Josh Smith into Marvin Williams is basically all you are doing. He is NOT a SF, despite how much ATL might like to get bigger up front. He can't handle or shoot worth a lick. His value is his defense at the 4 and the athleticism edge he has on 4s. He has no way to use a slight size edge as an advantage over SFs. Horford has become a very good C. They need to find a top level backup C to use as the 3rd man in their rotation. Pachulia and Armstrong SUCK. They messed up badly by not getting Gortat. They should have offered Crawford for Pietrus and Gortat or something.

I think they should trade Marvin for a center and then Josh should be a 6th man
