Assuming this really was the boiling point and final straw,
I want to say a goodbye, but a thank you as well to this Hawks team. I personally think this is the last we'll ever see of the core we have watched grown and mature together. Prospect turned to duck, the next highlight reel turned to fat, and the glimmer of hope turned soft.
Along with all other Hawks fanatics, I have suffered through the blowout losses, the bonehead mistakes, the skipped superstars, and the bad contracts, but if asked, I'd relive it all over again...
This core was amazing, loaded with potential, but we will never know how good they could have become. And that's how I'll always remember them, just wondering.. what could they have accomplished?
I can honestly say, this has been my favorite select group of players I've ever had the privilege, or curse, of watching. Here's to a new start and a new chapter! Go Hawks!
