Dimino just spoke with Gearon

[skaughtybee]

Gearon seems to think the judge's ruling was essentialy:

"This is an NBA matter".

Dimino said that the NBA ruling would take "no more than days - certainly not weeks".

I heard something like that on the radio. Anyone think we can get a ruling on this soon as tomorrow?

They bring up a good point on the radio....if this were LA or NY, then Stern would already have intervened and allowed the JJ signing to happen. Unfortunately, we are the Hawks and people like to urinate on us. Ultimately, I pray that Stern will do the right thing by stepping in and helping us improve our team. I hope he realizes that he has to act quickly or we might lose out on Joe.
