Yahoo: Hawks targeting Hinrich, trying to move Bibby & Marvin.

[Admin]

Is it possible that this team could end up after the deadline with Hinrich and Sessions as our backcourt for the cost of the young ones?

That's what I'm hoping for and that would be a massive upgrade to what we have now that's for sure.

This has possible legs.

Hinrich/Thornton for Bibby/Marvin makes sense financially.

You get rid of some salary in this deal. Hinrich is the defender/distributor that Bibby is not. Plus, Hinrich knows how to "fall back" onto the bench and let Teague play next year.

Thornton will start at Sf in the small lineup but really represents cap space.

Washington does it because Bibby can shoot, he can help Wall. Marvin is not awful.

The difference between Hinrich and Bibby is 4 inches and anticipation. Defensively, that would stop 5 buckets a game and create 3. Hinrich could make as much as a 15 point difference on some nights without scoring much of a lick.

Basketball is a game of runs and Bibby's height/footspeed lead to momentum shifts that turn 2 points into 10 points in a blink. Hinrich does not have that issue.

Picks would have to be involved.

We would never get McGee as well. 22 yr old 7 footers that can jump out of the building with a monster wingspan are slim to none of actually landing. McGee is more valuable than bibby/marvin alone

According to David Aldridge, they want a pick AND a young player.

Something like Bibby +JC2 + Pick.

yuk, that too much to give for Hinrich alone.

They have to add another player to sweeten the pot

I agree, but at the same time it's not like we play our draft picks anyways, unless they are lottery picks.

I've said it before, but to me late first rounders are worthless. Lottery protect the thing and make the deal if the Wizards are stupid enough to make a deal where the bulk of the salary they'll be getting back comes in the form of Mike Bibby.

I agree. One thing most of us seem to agree on from the PG position is that we need a upgrade in defense. Hinrich is probably the best defender out of all the PGs we've been targeting. He has range and he can handle the ball. We don't need an All Star at this point to get better. It's definitely an upgrade to the team. I would rather not trade Marvin because we need him at SF.
