From: Todd

What do you think on the Hawks recent re-signings of Terry Stotts and Billy Knight? Also, is there any free agent information pertaining to the Hawks?

Todd, The Hawks really had little choice but to go with Stotts and Knight considering how long it's taking for the completion of the sale of the team to David McDavid. I'm biased when it comes to Stotts, since I've known him for so long and happy he's finally got a full opportunity to coach. I like his basketball theory and demeanor. The next step will be if Knight is capable of acquiring the type of players that will take the team up a notch. In short, it will be wait-and-see with two young guys, but certainly worth the try. As for free agents, pickings are pretty slim right now.

From the ATL, T. Howard writes...

Sunday after the And 1 game in Atl, me and one of my friends decided that the night was still young and we should hit "STROKERS" (the premium adult entertainment spot in ATL) and guess who strolls in? None other that Theo Ratliff, fresh from the EBC, it seems. I guess there's no strip club like an ATL strip club hunh!!

I guess not. But "Strokers"? Could they have come up with a worse name? And I suppose Theo was there looking for a few veteran strippers.
