Review of Hawk’s Trade for Jamal Crawford

Atlanta Hawks sent Speedy Clax­ton and Acie Law to Golden State on Thurs­day for vet­eran shooter Jamal Craw­ford. Atlanta makes a great move here trad­ing vir­tu­ally noth­ing to get a big scor­ing guard while tak­ing some heat off of Joe John­son in the 4th quarter.

Acie Law never lived up to expec­ta­tions although his min­utes were lim­ited. Bot­tom line here is he can’t shoot and was a poor pick in the draft. Four let­ters pretty well sum up Speedy Claxton’s time in Atlanta, can you say B-U-S-T !

A major ben­e­fit should Mike Bibby go else­where now that Atlanta has some­one to fill his scor­ing shoes not to men­tion it will free up$8 mil­lion. The Hawks drafted Wake For­est star Jeff Teague who can really push the ball and also score. The Hawks now have some breath­ing room with free agency and can focus on resign­ing Flip Mur­ray and ZaZa Pachulia.

Jamal Craw­ford aver­aged over 19 points, four assists and three rebounds a game last year. He’s a pro­lific scorer who can knock down the big shot as evi­denced by being the 7th best 4th quar­ter scorer in the the league last sea­son.  

Atlanta Hawks still have some work to do like secur­ing a true cen­ter and find­ing some­body to guard LeBron James. The rest of this sum­mer will be inter­est­ing and let’s applaud Gen­eral Man­ager Rick Sund for putting this deal together.

Bot­tom line, Atlanta is a fun, energetic town and the Hawk’s are a young and excit­ing team head­ing in the right direc­tion …Lets Go Hawk’s!

2009/2010 Miley Cyrus World Tour

Miley Cyrus to per­form live at Philips Arena with spe­cial guest Metro Sta­tion. The TV Star turned Pop Rock Star brings her magic along with her 2009/2010 Miley Cyrus World Tour to Down­town Atlanta and around the globe.

After sell­ing mil­lions of albums includ­ing her lat­est “Break­out” Miley Cyrus not only appeals only to minors but also grown up teens. Her lat­est album con­tains 100 per­cent Miley Cyrus and all songs are co-written by her except two. The Break­out Album has a solid gui­tar influ­ence and includes the hits 7 Things, Break­out, and Driveway.

A native of Ten­nessee, Miley Cyrus is a singer, author, and actress and is listed by Time Mag­a­zine as one of the Top 100 Most Influ­en­tial Peo­ple In the World. Miley is the daugh­ter of the famous coun­try singer Billy Ray Cryus. Her orig­i­nal name was Des­tiny Hope Cyrus but was nick­named “Miley” because she smiled so much. Thus, she for­mally changed her name to Miley Cyrus.

In 2006, the Han­nah Mon­tana Sound­track is released debut­ing num­ber 1 on the Bill­board 200 and nearly misses dou­ble plat­inum. In June of 2007 Miley releases her fol­low up dou­ble cd Han­nah Mon­tana 2/ Meet Miley Cyrus and it sells faster than her first sound­track. The first disc is a fol­low up of Han­nah Mon­tana while the sec­ond disc was the first album of Miley Cyrus’ solo career. The album sells faster than her first and even­tu­ally goes triple plat­inum. The young, vibrant, and ener­getic Miley is on the fast track towards becom­ing a teen pop icon.

In Octo­ber 2007 Miley announces and goes on her “Best of Both Worlds Tour” with the Jonas Broth­ers as the open­ing act. The 69 date North Amer­i­can Tour is so suc­cess­ful that tick­ets sell out in twelve min­utes with some tick­ets being scalped for up to $20,000. The Han­nah Mon­tana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Con­cert film was released in the spring of 2008.

A new direc­tion for Miley begins to emerge upon the release of “Break­out” in July 2008. Her bril­liant album tran­scends her from singer to song­writer as she co-writes all but two of the songs. The “Break­out” album debuts at num­ber 1 on the Bill­board 200 album charts and sug­gests that Miley Cyrus is a seri­ous and tal­ented inde­pen­dent artist. The high octane hit sin­gle “7 Things” lands at num­ber 9 and “See You Again” at num­ber 10 on the charts.

Other lyrics embrace you such as “Wake Up Amer­ica” a song about global cli­mate change and the anguished bal­lad “Dri­ve­way” . Per­haps the most dynamic song and visu­ally appeal­ing video derived from this album is the dance-rock “Fly On The Wall” .

The Christ­mas Hit “Santa Claus Is Com­ing To Town” was recorded by Miley and released in Novem­ber of 2008. In Decem­ber the com­puter ani­mated movie Bolt was released and Miley was the voice of Penny. “I Thought I Lost You” was co-written and recorded by Cyrus along with John Tra­volta for the sound­track of Bolt. The song was nom­i­nated to the Golden Globe Awards for Best Orig­i­nal Song.

Early in 2009 to the dis­may of many fans, Miley announced that this would be her last year in the Han­nah Mon­tana series. In April, 2009 Han­nah Mon­tana : The Movie was released con­tain­ing the hit sin­gle “The Climb” and is her best hit to date ris­ing to num­ber 6 on the charts.

In June 2009, the “2009/2010 Miley Cyrus World Tour” was announced with spe­cial guest Metro Sta­tion. Miley’s older brother Trace plays gui­tar and vocals for the Cal­i­for­nia Rock Band whose best known for the song “Shake It”.

Miley Cyrus was voted by Time Mag­a­zine as one of the “100 Most Influ­en­tial Peo­ple In The World”. She has been nom­i­nated and won numer­ous awards at the Kids’ Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards.

Cur­rently, Miley can be seen hard at work (June 18th) on her lat­est movie “The Last Song” now being filmed at Tybee Island, Geor­gia. Atlanta­Ga­To­day is the source for lat­est on Miley Cyrus con­certs, tick­ets, news and reviews.
