Anyone know how long ASG been trying to sell the Hawks?

I heard they have been trying to sell the hawks for the last 5 years. If this is true then im scared how much longer ASG is gonna be owning this team.

Very good point youngsta...as long as we want to be fair...let's be fair.

The ASG had a deal all set up with a Casino owner/pizza place stud...who...for some reason...was turned down by other owners and Stern.

Not by our owners - who were ready to sell and Get-TF-Out...but by other owners - and the Commish. Now THAT tells you something about the ASG's real interest in this team.

It CANNOT be overstated that the ASG just wants to get away from the Hawks as soon as it is finacially do-able.

They saved us from another embarrassing ownership. The last thing we need is a Herman Cain clone (who was being propped up by the ASG anyway) running the team. There has to be competent ownership out there somewhere . . .

I was at the Wafflehouse near Philips arena bacK in 2007. On the way out i ran into Michael Gearon and 2 ASG members. They offered to sell me the Hawks, Thrashers and Philips arena but I left my bank card at home. So they have been at least trying to sell them since 2007. LOL
