Of course, I'm sure there are a lot of things involved that I may not have read about, so it is totally possible.<BR/><BR/>Either way, the point I was trying to make was along the same lines in that having a power struggle of the ownership group is rarely a conducive environment for putting together a winning franchise. Both sides have made poor decisions when it comes to the hiring of the front office and coaching positions. If signing Woodson is a sign of our ownership wanting to win, then I say we need new ownership.<BR/><BR/>I've just never been a fan of spilt ownership groups, they always seem to end up hurting the franchise because of the constant bickering that occurs between the members. Is Ted Turner still alive?

He's the one who wants to operate the Hawks on the cheap so he can turn a profit, regardless of wins and losses. The other folks in the Spirit want to win, but are seemingly clueless as to how to do so. Probably one of those lose-lose situations.Joe Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658677596830741666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712193061370676472.post-85007870775368353592008-10-31T10:49:00.000-04:002008-10-31T10:49:00.000-04:00Hey, 1-0 is a good start, especially considering w...Hey, 1-0 is a good start, especially considering where this franchise has been the last decade. But I completely agree with the Cautiously Optimistic approach. I think every Hawks fan is guarded that way. A-Town definitely deserves better and I think (at least I have to think this way or I will completely lose interest in all things NBA in the A) that it's finally coming around.<BR/><BR/>Supposedly a final decision will be made in Feb about the ownership group. Count me as one who is hoping that Mr. Moneybags from Boston wins and brings a real NBA front office staff with him. Do I want my home town team owned by some carpet-bagging yankee? Of course not, but right now I'd take just about anyone over the Atlanta Spirit group. They are completely ruining not only the Hawks, but also the Thrashers.<BR/><BR/>Outside of that, fire Woodson, give Law more minutes so he can develop effectively, and never ever run JJ iso plays again.<BR/><BR/>-JesseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
