Hawks, Wizards Finalize Hinrich Trade

Feb 23, 2011 9:56 PM

The Atlanta Hawks tonight acquired guard Kirk Hinrich and center/forward Hilton Armstrong from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Mike Bibby, Maurice Evans, Jordan Crawford and Atlanta's 2011 first round draft pick.

“We felt we had a good opportunity to improve our ballclub by adding Kirk and Hilton,” Sund said.

“Kirk is a well-rounded player that gives us options at both guard positions. In addition to being a solid and hard-nosed defender, he is a good shooter who can also distribute the ball. His resume includes significant playoff experience as well. Hilton can play both center and power forward, and will add frontcourt depth.”

The Hawks are interested in veteran Kirk Hinrich, but they aren't willing to meet Washington's current asking price.

The Wizards want both a young player and a first-round pick for Hinrich.

Atlanta is pushing for Washington to take back Mike Bibby for Hinrich, which would save the Wizards some money for next season. Hinrich is scheduled to make $8 million in 2011-12, while Bibby will earn $6.2 million.

The Wizards aren't interested in taking on Marvin Williams, who has two years and $15.7 million left on his deal after this season.

Hawks Inquire About Devin Harris

Feb 22, 2011 6:30 AM

The Hawks have watched their competitors in the Eastern Conference fortify their rosters and now they appear ready to attempt a similar move.

Atlanta has inquired with the Nets about Devin Harris as they search for a point guard.

Those discussions could pick up after the completion of a trade between the Knicks and Nuggets that will send Carmelo Anthony to New York.

Harris is just the kind of point guard the Hawks are looking for, but he will make $9.3 million next season and would push the team past the current luxury-tax threshold.

Jamal Crawford is one player that has been discussed as a possible component in a Harris deal.
