    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Atlanta Hawks have acquired Dallas Mavericks point guard Anthony Johnson in a exchange for a second-round draft pick, according to Hawks General Manager Billy Knight.

    This will be Johnson's third stint with the Hawks. A 10-year veteran, Johnson played 87 games for the Hawks from 1998-2000 and then played another 25 games for the Hawks during the 2000-01 season.

    He averaged 3.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 40 games this season for the Mavericks. But he was playing just 14.1 minutes a game on a roster already stocked with quality point guards, including former Hawks player Jason Terry and Devin Harris.

    Johnson becomes the fourth point guard on the Hawks roster, joining Speedy Claxton, Tyronn Lue and Royal Ivey.

    The NBA trade deadline is 3 p.m. Thursday.</div>

    Looks like the biggest move of the deadline.

    I wonder if this is going to lead up to something else.

    I doubt it, the Mavs have the best record in the league, and all the key players are healthy. The team is deep, and doesn't really have a glaring need to address. I doubt they want to disrupt the chemistry they're playing with by taking on a major trade.

    They've been trying to shop Croshere for PJ Brown.
