Person for Mohamoud?

[Wave]

It has been rumored for a long time that the Atlanta Hawks were going to swing a Nazr Mohamoud for Wesley Person trade. What is everyone's opinion about this?

I think this mostly benifits the Hawks. Person is one [censored] of a player who averages eleven points a game and shoots forty-three percent from behind the arch which just happens to be the third best percentage in the league.

Another reason why this trade greatly benifits the Hawks is the fact that Nazr Mohamoud, who averaged about five points and four rebounds per game last season, will not be seeing great playing time anymore if Theo Ratliff stays healthy. This would aslo give the Hawks a true Shooting Guard and an expiring contract.

One would wonder why Memphis would do this trade. I think it is quite simple though. The Grizzlies want to unload Small Forwards and Shooting Guards. Wesley Person is expendable to them since they added James Posey and Dahntay Jones this offseason.

The Grizzlies also need a backup for Pau Gasol. While Nazr Mohamoud would not directly backup Gasol he would backup Lorenzen Wright thus allowing Stromile Swift to backup Gasol.

What does everyone else think about this possible trade that has been rumored for months?

Memphis would have to take another player(s) to make the deal work under the salary cap. Nazr/Chris Crawford for Person works under the cap.
