Hawks get: SG Kirk Hinrich
Jazz get: PG Shelvin Mack
Bulls get: SG Justin Holiday, second-rounder (via Utah)
Ummm... ok? It was beyond obvious that Atlanta was overloaded at point guard, with Mack, Jeff Teague, and the emerging Dennis Schroder, so trading Mack wasn't a bad idea. So what do the Hawks do to clear up a positional logjam at point guard? They add to an already pre-existing positional logjam at shooting guard! Seriously, I mean, Kyle Korver, Kent Bazemore, Thabo Sefolosha, and Tim Hardaway Jr. are already more than enough wing players. In addition, Hinrich isn't much of an upgrade over Mack as a player, as the two guards are averaging just 3.8 and 3.9 points per game, respectively. What was the point of this trade exactly?
