Initial Reactions to Draft Night Trade Prove Skeptical

It's in the books:  the Hawks have flipped the 15th pick into Tim Hardaway Jr. and two second rounders.  Around the league, the first take wasn't promising from Atlanta's outlook:

Chad Ford of ESPN:

Knicks get their point guard in Jerian Grant. Hawks get Tim Hardaway. Winner? Knicks.

Zach Lowe of Grantland:

The Knicks getting a 1st for Tim Hardaway Jr is...wow.

Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN:

ATL feels as if it can rehabilitate struggling shooters who have good form, and put guys w/ size in position to succeed on D. We shall see.

And Kevin Pelton of ESPN gave the Hawks a D for their end of the trade (Insider).

So while initial reactions are clearly tempered at best, here's to hoping good contributions with a better team for Hardaway Jr.
