JTFan31 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Please update here on what Belkin says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted August 5, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 He said... Trade Call never happened... Belkin said 70 million is good with all parties. You cannot remove a governor only if he binds teams to contracts? Belkin has the 5 yr deal and it sounds like Belkin is Governor for the next five years? Damn!

Premium Member Diesel Posted August 5, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Belkin seems upset with the draft picks... He doesn't like the fact that they are only lottery protected for the first yr and top three thereafter.. What a bastard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac13 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Its all about the picks..The 1st year they are lottery protected..After that they are only top 3 protected..Belkin thinks that too risky..Has NOTHING to do with money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted August 5, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Stern will have to make a move to fix the Hawks. We are irreconcibly broken. BK has no power. Belkin cannot be removed as Governor. Belkin will not OK the Deal as it is now. Even if he loses managing owner status... Belkin will still be the Governor.

TheDude Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 so does he expect us to still be a worse 3 team in the league in a couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted August 5, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Belkin invested 42% into the A.S. LLC. He feels that the picks will kill the Hawks future. It sounds like Belkin is not going to move on this! 10-noon tune in to the Chris Domingo show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted August 5, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Quote: Belkin cannot be removed as Governor. I wouldn't say that. Just because the guy who might be removed says he can't be, doesn't mean he can't. The courts will decide on tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted August 5, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Belkin is working from the perspective that our young players will never mature and that we can't put together a team that is good in 2 years. Logically, how much protection should we want on the picks IF we are supposed to be getting better. At somepoint, you have to believe that your players are better than top 10 in the lottery?? Belkin has just said he has no faith in this team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac13 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I agree, and it also shows he has no faith in BK's basketball knowledge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 FYI It's Chris Dimino. I was wondering if Domingo was a guy on 680 or something... Belkin is almost, I repeat ALMOST making me miss the AOL ownership. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR @SS, BELKIN! A REBUILDING TEAM MUST OVERPAY FOR THE FIRST ACQUISITION!

swolehawk2 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yep, I think he has no confidence in BK to have us out of the lottery in year 2 after this trade..... feels we may lose a 4 5 or 6 pick.....at some point we need to start adding through free agency ....u can only have so many young 19-22 year olds. He has really chopped up BK here....it is basically saying that BK does not know what he is doing. Not recovering from this is possible... can you imagine if JJ is matched and traded to another team and becomes a consistent all star...while we are still in the lottery every year....boy that would be bad.

Lascar78 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 for what it's worth those guys talked to one of the other owners, and he asked them if they realized the collateral damage of this nonsense, and not getting JJ, and he said that the other owners were "more than aware" of it, and made it sound like the other owners are furious about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 We are at the mercy of the courts and the league. If Belkin gets his way, it will be hard to be a Hawks fan for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac13 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 On 790 they just said that according to their sources Belkin actually called Jerry Collangelo and tried to offer Diaw and a 2nd round pick..Trying to redo the deal overriding BK..Damn!

Blunt91 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Belkin should know Collangelo want except a 2ndroundpick for JJ. What Belkin should be trying to do is get the future first rounders restructed. Let's say in 2007 instead of being top3 protected be top10 proctected. In 2008 the picks can be top3 or top4 protected.
