According to a source, the Cavaliers were close to acquiring Mike Bibby in a package that would have sent Drew Gooden, Ira Newble and Shannon Brown to Sacramento.

The Kings decided to turn their attention strictly to expiring contracts.

No surprise here, every time I heard Bibby's name mentioned in trade talks we were "close..."

Thank God we were only close. I never liked Bibby and look at Atlanta after one game. Bibby ankle injury.

Send me Miller, Cardinal and Lowry anyday.

Talk about understatement of the year. We were "close" to getting Bibby for well over a year now.

Thankfully for us Ferry didnt budge and the Kings went with the Hawk's worse deal.

Who's Bibby?

Yes indeed, thank god for small (no pun intended) favors!

That is ALL we needed - to acquire Bibby and watch him get hurt and underperform too!

THANK YOU ATLANTA!!!!!!
