Vescey "Joke" : Are the hawks relocating to STL? (not legit)

[ncthompson11]

Just heard on Dan Patrick's show that Peter vessel (sp) said the hawks are dumping salary because they are planning on relocating. Anyone else heard this? I can't find anything on it.

Wow, if that happens (knock on wood) there's an even slimmer chance that we can get a guy like Howard and CP3.

[NekiEcko]

Yep, that is a bold face lie and they know it unless St. Louis has alot of money to give out for the next couple of years.

[frankthetank966]

Correct me if I'm wrong, ASG owns Philips. Why would they want to loose their biggest contributor to paying expenses?

[Joker]

Vescey is the worst in the game. He used to be a legend but not anymore.

[capstone21]

Besides, Seattle, Vegas and Kansas City are the cities who want a franchise right now.The lease with Philips prohibits the Hawks from moving for quite a while

[NekiEcko]

Let think about this:Atlanta was in the top ten in viewing for the Finals, untapped wealth if a good team was going to be there, and other stuff and they want to move the team to St. Louis, shoot they are having problems with Rams right now.Yep, Peter Vescey is a idIot, plain cut and simply.

[AsaWayne]

Nope. I have never heard about the Hawks moving period.

[HalfHawk]

I might have believed it if the relocation was to a city with a bigger market than Atlanta, but St. Louis?.. Get real...

They will still be in top 10 viewing. Atlanta likes to watch basketball...they don't like to attend basketball games.

Dan Patrick and Peter Vescey are still alive ?

790 The Zone said ATL was 3rd in Finals viewership. Hawks ain't goin' to St. Lewey

[lethalweapon3]

Excuse my French, but Vecsey is sans a clue.

NO! .....

I don't know that helps the Hawks. Sure we watch the NBA but how many of us are watching the Hawks. If the Hawks viewership is high ASG could easily makeup revenue for poor gates by raising cable and dish rates in negotiations..

One thing we do know is Atlanta hated Joe Johnson's style of basketball.

Vescey has been out of the loop for years.

[HawkItus]

Most moves are over arena issues. We don't have such issues. Screw Vescey.

[lethalweapon3]

Only metro area smaller than St. Louis with both NBA and NHL franchises is Denver, a rapidly growing metro unlike St. Louis.~lw3

Here is Vescey's tweet to a fellow asking about the Hawks chances of getting Dwight:

@shawnpmcd Hawks are reloading, dumping money, about to relocate to St. Louis. What don't U understand bout DH only wanting to play 4 Nets

A dude on 790 said after contacting Vecsey that he responded that he "was only joking". Or at least trying to. Well har-de-har-har.~lw3
