hawks to seattle confirmed

Hold off the sale, imo.

As soon as ATL misses the Playoffs sell to a group who wants out. Your shitty fanbase doesn't deserve a team, tbvh.

Our commissioner has spoken :bowdown:

somebody should send him a link to insidehoops. maybe after he read a few threads started by hawks fans, he'd change his mind

[Breezy]

Yes, But I don't want them to stay in Atlanta. So there's both sides to consider.

[BurningHammer]

The money is clearly not there, unless something within the team changes so drastically it lures a lot of fans back.

Just go where the money is i.e. Seattle.

Salty.

Honestly, what else do you expect me to say on such a public forum? Keep this on the down low, but I'll approve a sale to whoever gives me the most money no matter where they want the team.

[GimmeThat]

you know, sports management is actually a major from what I've heard of.


besides the whole conference ordeal.

I guess they just need to decide whether its the problem with georgia, or the ownership group.


if I was a liberal, I wouldn't go and run for a position in office in a conservative state.


unless lots of unknown reasons, as well as connections that gives me an edge over others.

I don't blame him, they're good in the east, they'd get destroyed in the West. I wouldn't move them either, from a business stand point.

[Richesly]

What are you talkin about? Hawks have dominated the west this year. Also, Hawks are a top ten TV market. Sonics werent.

[COnDEMnED]

West teams play west more. Orlando swept the championship Lakers in the regular season.

True, but that's only one team.

We've swept the Clippers, beat POR, Dallas, etc.
