Bibby and Hawks making progress

[_BBIB_]

Wow if we kept Bibby and Zaza this team could win 50+ games next year

Just a little thing here. This is a qoute off of NBA Rumors on ESPN
"The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the Sixers reached out to Mike Bibby this week and were told he intends to stay in Atlanta."
Another sign he intends to stay here

^^^ That was the turning a team away that I hinted at.

Id be quite happy to have Bibby resign for 2-3 more years...

Having Bibby, JC, Johnson gives us a lot of versatility out the backcourt... A lot of shooting out the backcourt... True we need frontcourt help but Crawford hasn't really shown he can be a fulltime starting point and seems to suit a 6th man role perfectly...

It also seems like a lot of the value bigs are getting snapped up pretty quick... In some ways i know what im getting from Bibby and i do remember what it was like watching this team without him...

And there are a few options using the MLE to grab another big...

I can see the benifit

The Philadelphia Daily News (Phil Jasner) reports (via blog): The 76ers received an inquiry from the agent for Atlanta Hawks free agent guard Mike Bibby, but a source familiar with the situation said the conversation ”didn’t go anywhere.” The theory seemed to be that the agent waqs doing his due diligence, checking the market for his client. Bibby was listed on the Hawks’ salary cap last season at more than $14.98 million, but is more likely to play the coming season for something in the range of the $5.6 million mid-level exception.
