Is the mangement going to use the sale as excuse

[Guest]

Not to keep JT?Are they going to wait til he leaves

the say the team has finally been sold?That way there

is less critism?

You think that is possible?

The hold up on the sale is really about the Board of Governors of the NBA Now. I think the other owners have to get together and vote McDavid in. I think one thing that slowed the process was McDavid and AOL coming to an agreement on what's fair, but now, it's up to the other owners.

1A. Jason Terry, Hawks. He's restricted,

but given that it may take a while for David McDavid to be formally approved by the league's Board of Governors, you wonder if the Hawks would match an offer sheet right now

. I have never thought JT was a point, but a scoring one in the Iverson mold; play him next to a bigger guard like a Jamal Crawford, and you'd have a pretty good backcourt.
