    Someone from the AJC asked Bibby about some Yahoo Sports rumor that Portland and Atlanta were discussing a trade for Bibby. Reading the comments of some of the Hawks fans, despite Bibby's strong play to start the season, many think he will be traded for financial reasons. This is the last year of his contract ($15 mill), and maybe they don't think they can resign him or afford both Bibby and Joe Johnson (after JJ becomes a FA in 2010). Anyway, Bibby's comments made me laugh.

    " 'What the hell is Yahoo Sports?' Bibby said in jest on Saturday night. 'That's news to me Sekou [Smith, of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution]. I never heard anything like that ... you and the rest of the damn media always making stuff up.' "
