Damn, you just beat me to it!

In addition to adding Mike, this trade creates a world of opportunity for guys like Solomon Jones and Salim Stoudamire. Because at the end of the day, you've got to win games. That's just the bottom line."

Pretty much sums this trade up.

The Hawks' pick-and-roll sets got sharper instantly. The little inside passes in transition that rarely found mark before were on the money now. Bibby waited all of 15 seconds to start leading, playfully chiding Josh Smith and Al Horford to "run with me, run with me" on a fast break during part of the full court scrimmage portion of practice.

"We got to look every chance we get, even the little creases, he'll find you," Smith said. "He sees the opening even before it happens. I'm not used to that."

Bibby said his teammates better get used to it, because they're going to see heavy doses of it every night.

he's going to make everyone better. The chance for everyone to pick their game up a notch.

I heard Sekou on the radio this afternoon and he made the comment that a lot of the young guys have never played with a top pg in the NBA. They don't know how the game can be played. As the commercial says: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

definitely looking forward to see Bibby's WTF face a la AJ when Woodson draws up a retarded play.

[DrReality]

I love the part where Woody said he's going to turn him loose. Music to my ears. Run baby run.

[Duff_Man]

What an exciting time to be a fan! Nice article!

[NJHAWK]

Let Woody worry about our defense and let Bibby and Joe run the offense, pretty simple. I just hope Woody understands that.

"" Bibby waited all of 15 seconds to start leading, playfully chiding Josh Smith and Al Horford to "run with me, run with me" on a fast break during part of the full court scrimmage portion of practice.""

This gave me goosebumps.

[WraithSentinel]

Bibby got his playbook

I am guessing that took about 5 secs to learn.

[Too Cool #2]

When mike got his playbook he probly said

Bibby: Coach i think you gave me your nephews coloring book

Woody:..uhhh...suuuure...we'll go with that

LOL, classic.

[TheDude]

yeah i wonder how many times after a timeout, bibby brings the players together and says "ok forget what woody just said, let's do this."

Best quote in this article and it was by Woodson!!!......

"He has to run this team," Woodson said. "We haven't had a guy like him in this position before, a starter, a guy who's run a team, a playoff team, for a number of years. No disrespect to Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue, but we just haven't had that.

Did anyone see the Ty Lue quote in the AJC?

"It's definitely a good trade for the Hawks", Lue said by phone from Mexico, where he was vacationing over All-Star weekend. "Bibby's a great point guard. And Acie can learn a lot from him. ... 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"
