Thank you, Mike Bibby!!!

And the final piece is laid to rest...

If the rumors are true, and it appears more and more likely they are, then the trade of Mike Bibby to Atlanta marks the final page in the chapter of the book of "THE TEAM."

It's the end of looking back, fellow Kings fans, and it's the beginning of truly looking forward. And it's scary and exciting at the same time.

I have so many good memories of Mike Bibby and what he helped do for our Kings. Yes, there were times when I was less than happy, but there are those times no matter who it is or what they're doing.

Mike Bibby - and the crab walk - will not soon be forgotten by this Kings fan. Mike Bibby and his ice cold accuracy during Laker games will be the stuff legends are someday made of. Mike Bibby and his cuticle clipping will bring a smile to our faces when we speak again of these days - and we will.

And if he steps onto the court of Arco on Feb. 20 in the uniform of the Atlanta Hawks, I KNOW he will receive the standing ovation from the Kings fan faithful.

Thank you, Mike, for the excitement and the fun. I wish you all the luck in the world. Thanks most of all for being part of the team that literally took my breath away.

GOOD LUCK!!!

This is very upsetting... I would have loved for Mike Bibby to go to a better team... I'm glad Petrie got off his hands, but I want Bibby to win one. He deserves it.

Cleveland clearly wants LeBron to walk

Well, the book is finally closed and it might not be the greatest ever written but it was special. while I never was a big Bibby fan because of his one way basketball - I am grateful for his contributions that have been very significant in writing our finest chapter. I wish him all the best and hope that he continues to fill up the Lakers no matter where he plays.

It was time.

He's going to be successful in Atlanta, I know it. He fits that team like a glove. I wish him the best and I hope he makes Phoenix's pick really crappy

Yea I didn't really think of it from that pov; that team is gone now, no one left I wish we at least still had Rick, but that's history.

I'm literally in tears as if I really knew Mike Bibby..so sad.

Well, it's hard to imagine that #10 of the Kings will no longer have Bibby on the back. You've made so many game-winning shots it's legendary. I'll miss those. Then again that's what YouTube is for, to keep replaying those moments. I was a Kings fan a little bit before Mike came, became a better one because Mike was traded here, and now will still continue to be one in spite of Mike's departure.

Everyone is gone, a new chapter begins in Atlanta(where I pray, keep your boys out the numerous clubs, please!).

Here's to starting over

Peace!

It was a great run mike and I enjoyed watching you, I was pumped when we traded for you and you didn't dissapoint, you were a great King and like all other Kings you will be remembered and cheered when you come back to Arco.
