Good for Kurt. He didn't deserve the fate he was getting in WAS. Should be a solid pickup for the Hawks. Would be interesting if we ran into them in the playoffs and we got a series worth of Rose v. Kurt.

This.

He's not going to a contender, but at least he'll get to play competitive ball now. I wonder what the effect will be on John Wall's game.

I'm sure Crawford CAN'T be happy....

Depending on the deal...Atlanta could be looking good....

Was just going to post this --- unless Hinrich is being moved for Crawford.

Good for Kirk. It'll likely be for Bibby. Great for him.

Kirk and JC!

I bet Jamal would be pissed if he had to go to WSH.

In which case... incoming threads about why we didn't go after JC.

Good for Kurt Heinriche.

I'd love to have him as a bench player on our team.

I read somewhere that Mike Bibby might be involve.

Even though it will make more sense with something like Jamal Crawford/Jeff Teague some sort I guess.

The top 8 in the East is getting stronger, as this makes Atlanta a better team IMO. Knicks, Hawks, Nets (who will be top 8 next season) all upgraded.

If Kirk goes and Jamal stays there, can we plumb the archives for the Kirk vs. Jamal threads and send them to the Atlanta board?

Kirk for Marvin Williams?

It's looking like the 1st round of the playoffs are going to be a lot tougher now than it did at the beginning of the year. Which means, IMO, the Bulls cannot afford to stand pat.
