ATLHawks3 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Out of all the groups that we've heard who want to buy the team, the Grant Hill group is the one I want owning this team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachoo5 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I hope the sale doesn't happen until after the lottery since the NBA loves rewarding 'up for sale' teams with high draft picks. Yeah, it's very suspicious how the lottery is done in private still. Why can't the public see the balls drawn live? It makes no sense unless they still want the power to make the balls go to whoever they want. Edited March 4, 2015 by pachoo5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachoo5 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 No. Grant Hill group actually cares about Atlanta, this group is associated with the Braves who don't and suck anyway. I would prefer the group with actual past basketball players like Grant Hill or Dominique to be the buyers, not some nameless corporation who wants the Hawks as an asset item on their balance sheet.

MaceCase Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, it's very suspicious how the lottery is done in private still. Why can't the public see the balls drawn live? It makes no sense unless they still want the power to make the balls go to whoever they want. They've streamed it online for like the past 4 years. The reason why ESPN doesn't show it on prime time is because they like to be able to actually charge advertisers and not pay them for one of the most boring processes in professional sports.

DJlaysitup Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 "Distressed assets"...sounds like a corporate bill collector to me. That said, I really don't mind somebody running the team like a business if they run it right. No way they move a basketball team to Cobb County...that would be stupider than stupid.

Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm not sure what the numbers are by month but we're 19th in home attendance overall this year. We're up about 2,700 fans per game at Philips this year though, which would be our highest number in a long time. No kidding? I guess that whole generation of subscribers died out. I know Frank Costanza collects them...not sure if he still does though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted March 5, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 One of the 100s of things sucky about the Braves move was it came at a time when historic numbers of people are moving back into the city and choosing urban life. To move at that point and choose a place that you have to drive to and fight horrible traffic is asinine imo. To lose the hawks too would be too much to take.

It is certified by auditors, etc. who wouldn't put their reputation and their firm's reputation on the line for something this inconsequential to their business.
