Before the trade deadline had last the Washington Wizards sets a trade with the Atlanta Hawks. It was a good trade for the Hawks that they sailed in Mike Bibby, Jordan Crawford, Maurice Evans and a 2011 first-round pick (from Hawks) in exchange with sharp shooter Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong. The Atlanta team added a sharp shooter to improve their team both in offensive and defensive ends in their game much more than Bibby.
Kirk Hinrich is now at his 8th season in the NBA, he has a career average of 13.2 points, 5.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. This season he averages 11.1 points per game, 4.4 assists per game and 2.7 rebounds per game. Hinrich spends his first 7 seasons in the Chicago Bulls before being traded to Washington. Hinrich was acquired by the Wizards along with Kevin Seraphin and cash from the Bulls last July 8, 2010 in exchange for Vladimir Veremeenko. Armstrong averaged 1.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 41 games as a Wizard after signing as a free agent with Washington prior to the 2010-11 season. While Mike Bibby, in his 13th season, owns a career average of 15.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Bibby started 56 games this season for the Hawks gaining an average of 94 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Just 567 points away from 15,000 for his career, the 6'2" point guard is a career .379 shooter from three-point range, and he currently ranks fifth in three-point field goal this season with a career-best .441 mark (113-256). He comes to Washington just 50 three-pointers shy of the 1,500 mark for his career.
