老鷹也來真的了
Mike Bibby propelled the Sacramento Kings on one of the longest playoff runs in their history with several clutch shots. Now he'll likely be taking his clutch ability East to help the playoff-hopeful Atlanta Hawks.
The Sacramento Bee reported an agreement in principal has been reached to send Bibby to the Hawks for guards Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue, center Lorenzen Wright and forward/center Shelden Williams.
The newspaper reports the deal is contingent upon league approval, which could come Saturday.
According to sources who didn't want to be identified, there is a 4 p.m. conference call scheduled Saturday between the Hawks, Kings and league officials.
When contacted Saturday morning by The Sacramento Bee, Bibby said he wasn't surprised he was being traded, but was surprised he was headed to Atlanta.
"I had some good times here in Sacramento," Bibby told the newspaper. "Sometimes you need a change and you never know where that might take you. I just prayed and asked for what might be the best for my family and this is what happened, so you can't question it.
"I'll always have love for the people in Sacramento, the Maloofs and [President] Geoff [Petrie]."
Each of the players the Kings are acquiring has an expiring contract, which should help Sacramento in its efforts to clear salary cap space to become a player in the free-agency market this summer. The Kings have lost three straight and have not been above .500 all season. They're 13 games back in the Pacific Division and are 11th in the West.
The Hawks will be adding a point guard they hope can stabilize a team that's lost four straight and has fallen to 21-28 after getting off to a 14-12 start and showing playoff promise. Atlanta is in 9th place in the Eastern Conference and 9½ games back in the Southeast Division. The Hawks haven't made the playoffs since the 1998-99 season.
Bibby played an integral role in the Kings' playoff teams of the early 2000s and hit several clutch shots in Sacramento's run to the West Finals in 2002. He is the last remaining piece of the Kings' teams that challenged for the championship in the early part of the decade but never made the NBA Finals.
In a twist of possible irony, the Hawks will make their only trip to Sacramento on Feb. 20 and Bibby could be Atlanta's starting point guard for that game.
Kings一個pick都呃唔到
Udrih可以繼續佢既career year了
