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.

I guess that ends the Luke Ridnour speculation.

NBA GMs have no clue what they are doing.

LOL, so true.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I somewhat understand the move. They want more of a traditional point gaurd on their team. They need a healthy distibutor and someone to run offensive sets and take the responsibility off of Joe Johnson. They should have traded Tyron Lue by now in a similar deal. The only other thing I can think of, they need more smaller deals on their payroll to use as fillers for a bigger deal. As awkward and mismatched as their roster is they currently sit 2 gms behind the talented and deep Knicks.

Could of had chris paul and stopped all this madness. Instead drafted who Marvin ???

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I like Anthony Johnson. His last nig game, he dropped 40 on Jason kidd. He's been in exile in Dallas. If Anthony can recapture the form he had back in indiana then its a good trade.

Johnson & Johnson. I can see the announcers running with that.
