•Grade: A+. The Hawks haven't had the right fit at point guard since Oklahoma's own Mookie Blaylock ran the show in the '90s. Bibby should finally put an end to the Hawks' rebuilding project.

•Trade: Acquired Ben Wallace and Joe Smith from Chicago and Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from Seattle for Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Shannon Brown and Cedric Simmons. Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble and Adrian Griffin went to Seattle.

•Trade: Acquired Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright from New Jersey for Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Ager, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, two first-round picks and cash.
