Sund had to sell ownership on a trade that took Bibby away as an option for Drew. If that didn&#39;t happen, Bibby starts vs. Orlando and the Hawks go home after round 1. Remember, Kirk was the starter against Orlando and played the bulk of the minutes at point guard. That&#39;s the price of a second round appearance and near brush with the ECF.Buddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922712364080112515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-85522427813583978232012-01-20T22:33:39.213-05:002012-01-20T22:33:39.213-05:00If that was the price, they shouldn&#39;t have paid it. Hinrich is a good player but he was and is the second best point guard on the team. All they needed to do was start Teague. Trading two first rounders for a player who isn&#39;t even the best at his position on your roster is not a &quot;masterpiece&quot; trade. Sure, it was more due to LD than Sund that the trade was necessary, but Sund is LD&#39;s boss. All he had to do was waive Bibby or dump Bibby&#39;s salary and tell LD he&#39;s stuck with Teague. That is after all effectively what happened in the second round of the playoffs anyway.Najeh Davenpoophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14002672434429391817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-62967094847105760992012-01-20T20:03:52.103-05:002012-01-20T20:03:52.103-05:00Najeh I&#39;m sure Washington had other offers for Hinrich. That was the price.Buddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17922712364080112515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-15013561222484622072012-01-20T19:55:44.693-05:002012-01-20T19:55:44.693-05:00If Hinrich replaces Teague as the starter, Drew should be fired on the spot. Teague is the best point guard the Hawks have had since Mookie Blaylock. <br /><br />Also, while getting rid of Bibby was most definitely addition by subtraction, it was not necessary to give two draft picks away just to do that.Najeh Davenpoophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14002672434429391817noreply@blogger.com
