Sports InsiderBibby’s debut
February 20th 2008 18:31
Recently traded for four players and a second pick, including Shelden Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue.
This may not be the welcoming the Atlanta Hawks had in mind as the Lakers took it to them last night, hitting the 100-point mark with over ten minutes to go in the fourth.
Mike Bibby started the game for Atlanta and looked good, but Atl’s players stood and watched him for the first half, rather than getting into positions for some good looks. But Mike should be acclimated with the playbook sooner than later.
I like this trade even more now seeing Acie Law getting good minutes. I was a big fan when he was with the Aggies of Texas A & M and he is no doubt the future point-guard for the Hawks.
Giving up only one solid prospect was key for the Hawks to make this deal as Bibby will eat up Johnson’s and Lue’s minutes along with Law.
Al Horford will need to carry this team in the middle with undersized athletic forwards Marvin Williams and Josh Smith trading off at the 3-4 spots. Atlanta I feel is a solid shooting big man/center away from sneaking into the playoffs and making some real noise.
So hopefully for Hawks fans they can make a key acquisition in the middle to make a solid push and get some fans to come out and support this team at home.

I don't want to go!
