Bibby to the ATL?

Seems like the Hawks have FINALLY gotten a starting pg. After passing on CP3 and D-Will, the Hawks now have a star pg in Bibby and did not really give up much accoring to the early reports. According to the reports, Bibby will be traded for the expiring contracts of Ty Lue, Lorezan Wright, Sheldon Williams, and Anthony Johnson.

This is a steal for the Hawks. Most expected them to atleast have to give up Josh Childress, a possibly decent future star in the NBA. But alas, they did not give up their core, and add a piece that may actually help them be competetive in the silly East. As long as they can get atleast a 6th seed, it isnt inconcievable that they may actually win a series. The Hawks have a shot. [Think about that. Also note that a 50 win team may miss the playoffs in the west.]

Finally, I dont know anyone else that may be more disappointed than LBJ. He's now feeling what Kobe was feeling the last couple of years. If all it took was some expiring contracts, im not sure why the Danny Ferry did not attempt to work something out. But for now, a pleasents tory for the maligned ATL sports scene.
