Bill Simmons suggesting a possible Hawks to Seattle move

[NineOhTheRino]

I would at least be a Sonics fan until Atlanta got a new team.  My hope is that when the new team comes Bob and Nique are replaced with Hometeam and Mel from Southwest Atlanta.

These fcking vultures need to stay away from our team! Some native needs to step up and do it quicksilver

 

Native? Really? Haven't we had enough insensitive borderline racial remarks associated with this team? smh

Bob is probably the best in the game and you want him replaced??

Heard an interview the Chris Viv this weekend on NBA radio.  He was asked if the Hawks could be bought and moved.  He said absolutely not.  The NBA values the city of Atlanta and doesn't want to lose a top 10 market.  Plus there is the agreement with Phillips arena that would complicate things if the team leaves.  Now I know Chris Viv doesn't always know what was going on, but he sounded very sure of himself when he said they wouldn't leave Atlanta.  Take if for what it is worth.

What really? Is this an issue really?

Cannot tell if you are just busting my balls sarcastically or being serious

And once again I read just like a week ago that the NBA has no interest in leaving Atlanta

Snowball's chance in hell that the Hawks would move to Seattle. OUR FREAKIN' MOTTO IS TRUE TO ATLANTA.

The Hawks are unlikely to be sold and moved, as the Atlanta Spirit did with the NHL’s Thrashers in 2011. Reed said the city is committed to keeping the Hawks in Atlanta. In addition, the NBA would not want to lose a franchise in a Top-10 market.

Of course I'm just busting your balls.

What happened with Seattle was totally different.

 

-no local bids were submitted

-owner and new owners denied new arena

-Stern was asleep at the will coasting to retirement

-East coast bias so major markets weren't covering it

Simmons=Tool.

The Hawks are winning and we are getting more press on the negative ownership/GM issue than what's happening on the court.

The media has no clue how to handle the Hawks success.

Wouldn't they also have to buy Phillips arena as well? What would they do with it..sell it to Georgia State?

I don't know if they will be buying the arena but maybe payoff the lease and whatever fees fir breaking lease or something like that?

[nitte]

ASG would never allow the city to lose a pro sports team. Oh wait...

[warcore]

is this the same Chris Hansen from the show 'To Catch a Predator'?

[cam1218]

Not going to happen. I hate hearing the rumors though because I have to keep tellin non Hawks fans that it's all BS.

[taz]

Nobody is going to pay well over a billion when all is said and done to move the team.

[Admin]

You know that things are bad in Miami when I would honestly rather have the Hawks owners than the Dolphins owner.  If it weren't for the Steinbrenner's I wouldn't know what good ownership felt like as my teams have just had ass clowns for owners the last decade. 

[buckeye242424]

I hate reading and talking about it... Makes me sick.

[jwhyte30]

Simmons said the same thing about the kings awhile back to Seattle not happening
