A Damn Shame

I have been living in Atlanta for the past 9 years, and the Atlanta Hawks has undoubtedly been the most horrific franchise I have ever had to witness. I must admit that I am one of those loud and obnoxious up north guys who goes in the Phillips Arena and cheer on my lowly New York Knicks since that’s the only team nowadays we can beat. But today, all of that has seemed to change. There was a trade for the Hawk’s 3^rd and 11^th picks going to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three team deal and somehow the Hawks will end up with Amare Stoudemire. Of course make the trade, right? Oh yeah these are the Hawks and there seems to be an issue in management. The Hawks are currently in a court battle over ownership and right now since management is fighting, they of course can’t agree on getting the young and talented Stoudemire. Steve Belkin is the genius who is blocking the trade, so as of now Stoudemire is still a Phoenix Suns. The Atlanta Spirit LLC is all on board for the trade; it has even leaked out that the parties can’t even agree on the draft. GM Billy Knight wants Al Horford, but Steve Belkin wants the Asian sensation Yi Jianlian out of

China. Only time will tell what is going to happen to the Atlanta Hawks based on past history.

Atlanta get ready to embrace . . . Hell I don’t know!!!
