From a really good source, news hot off the press... Wizards bought Bibby's contract out. He'll be going to MIA tomorrow.

Probably just a rumour, but from the minute the world was out that he might get bought out, everybody and their momma figured he would be going to Miami.

This was obvious as soon as he was traded.

Marginal improvement over House. Hopefully they won't take minutes away from Chalmers to play Bibby.

That would be a pretty good pick up for miami bc hes the another spot up shooter for them.

if he gets bought it, it is Miami (playing time, his brother in law is here)

He would have to give up a bunch of money in the buy out though, so it remains to be seen

Subtraction by addition.

If the Heat put him on the court it weakens their defense. Bibby can add value on offense, but just like everyone else in the supporting cast, he's not going to get any shots.

He's one of the better spot up shooters this league has seen. Nice pick up for Miami should that happen.

Because Carlos Arroyo and Mario Chalmers are adding so much to the Heat right now.

Good addition if true, the guy can drain the jumpers.

i think it would be an overrated pick up. overrated in the sense that people think it would be of significance but he is not going to be any more productive than chalmers or arroyo.

Bibby is a downgrade from Chalmers.

He should be the 3rd stringer. In that role, he's useful.

The Hawks have been 10 points better defensively since he was traded. Granted it's a two game sample not including the night we were shorthanded but plenty on our boards are starting to think he was a cancer because that is a huge swing. Can hit that three ball though.

Just another opening for teams to exploit. :wink:

I highly, highly doubt it. If Bibby gets bought out the Wizards have Wall as their only PG.

Chalmers is abso horrible. He makes 1 or 2 great plays and then goes on and makes 4 or 5 DUMB plays. How is that a downgrade?
