Wizards Insider - Wizards in trade discussions with Atlanta for Kirk Hinrich [UPDATED]

Not sure what we're going to do with all the guards.

Wow. That went from rumor to reality pretty quickly then

Yeah! Hinrich and Armstrong were both inactive for tonights game, They were in street clothes on the bench for the first half, at the beginning of the second half they were nowhere to be found.

This deal would appear to be about young Crawford and a 1st rd. pick. I dont see Bibby with a future here but, was probably made a part of the deal to make the salries match.

Bibby mentorship with Wall, why not? Getting the 1st round pick is big. Know nothing about Crawford. Id say its a win for us.

Not only a win, but a steal.

Jordan Crawford has potential, but a first round pick included? With a top pick in the off-season and a pick in the middle of the first round, our FO is doing a fine job looking long-term. A very fine job.

Not to mention Booker and Seraphin getting more minutes.

I have no problem with Bibby, as a matter of fact he's one of the best three point shooters in the league at 44.1 percent, and is averaging 9 ppg. He's owed 6 mil compared to Hinrich's 8 mil, with the team interest in saving money and getting younger, I see the logic.

Evans salary is off the books at the conclusion of the season, another 1.2 mil to pursue other areas. Grunfeld didn't want to make a deal that didn't include Jordan Crawford, a young player with promise along with the Hawks 1st rd. pick to continue their build towards the future. Good deal for the Wizards.
