The Most Significant Trade Yet?
Sure the Gasol to LA trade may well shape the NBA Championship. And even in his decreped state, and trade involving Shaq is a big deal. But this Bibby trade actually has me a bit excited.
True Bibby's game is on the decline, but at age 29 he is ostensibly in his prime. Atlanta gave away nothing to get him. The Hawks have some wicked talent at forward and the ridiculous Al Horford in the pivot. Joe Johnson is bad ass. All these guys needed was a real point guard to make the game a little easier for them. I think Bibby will be that guy, and that the Hawks will finish this season at or over .500. They will be a tough out in the post-season. The East just got one team more legit.

Sweet analysis - They've retained their talented young core and shuffled their pieces into a much more clear array. Getting Bibby at the point with Law backing up is a better present and future than the Lue committee. No need for Dukie Smelldon with Horford there, and Zaza is back and on the bench where he belongs.
