Sam Cassell on the Hawks (Quote)

[KB21]

Quote:

---

Cassell said he assessed the Hawks’ roster and concluded that it was at a similar state that the Clippers’ team was in before he came aboard.

“That’s why I was almost headed to Atlanta,’’ he said. “Because it was another challenge. It was another situation where a guy like me could provide the leadership on the court to help them get over the top.

What was the difference between the Hawks of this season and the Clippers of last year? Not much, I don’t think.’’

Cassell to Stay with Clippers

Well it is nice to be respected by someone who's opinion I would value. Cassell seems to be the ultimate professional athlete.

*I wish he had accepted.

good post and good quote...my fellow fsu alum showing the respect. i like it...

he would have been nice for a couple years.

[shock]

agreed. I would have looked forward to his constant badgering of the officials. I think he would have gotten our young guys some calls they havent been getting.

A quote like that is the second best thing he could have done.

Signing with the Hawks being the best, of course.

a sign that things are improving (at least from the national perspective) here in the ATL...

That would have been a fun team. Stinks that we were that close. Sam/JJ is a helluva back court.
