atlien Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I loved this quote from him: "It's definitely a good trade for the Hawks," Lue said by phone from Mexico, where he was vacationing for All-Star Weekend. "Bibby's a great point guard. And Acie can learn a lot from him. Bibby's a proven scorer and a proven winner in this league. If you could trade me and AJ for Bibby, you've definitely upgraded the point-guard position. "Hopefully, this will be what the Hawks need to get to the next level." I respect him a lot for saying that. I know many here have had problems with Lue's play this season (myself included), but no one can bad talk the dude he is off the court.

Admin capstone21 Posted February 17, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I will give him props for saying that. I am glad he is gone but I think it will work out for him too. Sac will probably buy him out and I would not be surprised to see him in a Celtics uniform next to his best buddy Garnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've always liked Lue. Besides holding the ball a little too long... almost all the time, he was a very decent player, but what he said can't be denied. This was a huge improvement over our PGs.

Final_quest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Liking someone as a person is totally different than being a fan of their play. Lue is one of the most likeable guys in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly is a class act. I just would've said, "I hate y'all"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWilksBooth Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 He's waiting until he's bought out and then re-signing here and taking Acie's minutes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. He'd jump to Boston yesterday if he could. The more I think about it, only Wright has any real chance of returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uga2006 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yea Lue was pretty clutch. If the game was on the line I would rather of had him shooting the last shot instead of Joe. He just always seemed to come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWilksBooth Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Maybe now Bibby can take some of those airballs from Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't think anybody would argue that Lue isn't one of the best individuals in the league. I certainly appreciate what he did for us in his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Man he is a real class act for saying that and I will definitely miss him for the excitement that he provided but he's right it's definitely an upgrade for us and a much needed trade to get us to the next level.

oken Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah... I really liked Lue... he hit some hhuge shots for us... although sometime I was angry at him... he was with us through 2-3 years of torment... and never said a word... let him go dribble out the shot clock for another team... Lue is a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
