Imagine my confusion when I found out that Justin Holiday was no longer on the Hawks. I knew he wasn’t on the Warriors anymore, but it had escaped my notice that somehow he had ended up in Chicago. The information was probably in my head for at least a few seconds when I initially learned about the trade, but then I likely started thinking about my upstairs neighbor, who is a Latina with a sweet rear end, which would cause me to forget about pointless trades like the one in question.
I guess I could have connected the dots. I knew Kirk Hinrich had returned to Atlanta for another stint there, and the way trades work is that if you give a team something they have to give you something in return. Kirk Hinrich didn’t just magically materialize in Atlanta like a wizard. That “something” was Justin Holiday. Who looks sort of like Michael Jackson. True facts.
