Dejay Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 We don't have the star power. We are more like the J.O.B. squad. With Ferry still the GM, maybe the F.B.I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 LOL. I'm fairness to Gucci though, that is the only squad in the last 15 years that has won 50 games in a season, and at least threatened a little bit to win a 2nd round series.

You'd effectively ease racial tensions in that city, along with bringing in 2 women that could tap into the REAL cash cow in the Atlanta market ... The female professional with tons of disposable income. From an advertising and sponsorship standpoint, corporations would line up to be affiliated with these 2. The Big issue though would be this ... Could a good enough basketball mind emerge to run the basketball operatons, to maximize the money that these 2 could generate and put into the team, by creating an exciting and championship level product on the floor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to go with an all female management hierarchy, Oprah and Sara would be majority owners, and this woman would be the new GM and be in charge of basketball operations: Nancy Leiberman And the wild thing is ... she's actually qualified to do it. She's been a former GM on the WNBA level. She's currently an assistant GM of the Texas Legends ( Dallas Mavericks ) in the D League . She does GREAT NBA analysis on Sirius NBA radio and on TV on occasion. She knows the NBA game. And most of all, she has credibility around the league. The average uneducated ( and possibly sexist ) media writer or basketball fan would see a move like this as a publicity stunt. But if the Hawks really wanted to do a radical shift in thought and management, a female power hierarchy might just work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I wouldn't be against an all-female power structure with the Hawks. No way they could be more dysfunctional than what we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
