Merged: Dominique wants to buy the Hawks (TMZ report)

[WraithSentinel]

Bob: "Join tonight as always by Hall of Famer and Owner Dominique Wilkins."

 

or

 

Bob: "Join tonight as always by Owner and Hall of Famer Dominque Wilkins."

 

Either one sound fine with me.

This would be a dream come true.  I wonder if Koonin approached Nique on this or if this is his own idea.  I'm voting for the former... Nique seems to like the direction Ferry was taking the team, so I would not be surprised if Ferry's job is safe.

Nique obviously can't afford the team but he can be the public face of a new owner or group. This is a common practice for groups trying to get a sports franchise. Magic Johnson can't afford the LA Dodgers but he is a major piece of the branding of that ownership group.

True but $500 million isn't too shabby. Lol

Is it me or is it kind of creepy that you can just find a person's net worth on the internet....

[capstone21]

I want an owner who has money to burn and wants to spend it to win.

[Watchman]

Nique being backed by Gearon??

I believe that Gearon "gave" Nique whatever small ownership interest in the team that he currently has. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me, but if Gearon has the money to buy out Levenson, why didn't he do it a long time ago?

As for Nique, he is nowhere near wealthy enough to buy a controlling share of the team.

You find a WHOLE lot more than just net worth of somebody on the internet...

Type your name in and see what the internet knows about you.  It's no wonder why America has problem with identity theft.

They want me to pay $5 to find out who I am.   Sorry don't need it.

Oh don't I know....I do that for a living, but I mean the stuff you can find about wealthy and famous people on basic sites is just nutty.

I ask what does Hawksquawk really think of Nique.

 

Necromancing...

[OldTimeHawk]

A Blank as majority owner - Nique as the face of the franchise - and if Ferry gets forced out by the pc police Doc Rivers as GM - 

[ViperXX79]

As long as Nique isn't handling the nimbers...

[Twinblade]

How about we get rid of all of ASG, im so sick of this damn group. This group is a damn joke.
