Not to hijack, but I totally disagree with you on that. The Thrashers were made to not be "viable" thanks to the ASG. May their organization end with a massive loss of money and stature.

So i think the missing link is the lack of star power on the Hawks. We have been saddled with the likes of Danny Manning, Steve Smith, Shareef Abdur Raheem and Joe Johnson among others-basically a bunch of almost super stars. The Hawks have not had a marquee name since Nique left. I guarantee you if they get an elite player Phillips would be sold out night in and night out. But the reason we have not had an elite player since then is because the ownership has been a complete dumpster fire. We are the only team in the entire NBA that has team franchise offices in 3 cities- here, DC and NYC. That makes no sense and potential free agents see that and it makes them not want to come here, despite the fact that most of them probably either live here or spend a good amount of time here in the off season. ASG is the issue with the Hawks, not the fans. And while I dont think Bruce Levenson is racist, I do think he is a sorry excuse for an owner and if this email gets him out the door and somebody else in, then I am all for it.
After this latest fiasco with Levenson and Ferry, we will not attract any "name" free agents either. I believe we have a good coach, and that the current players have bought into his concept. However, we are short on talent. I wondred why Deng didn't sign with us, now I know why.

I doubt the Hawks move outside of Atlanta until Phillips Arena outlives its usefulness. I do not see that happening anytime soon. Relocating is less important than finding better ownership that will take the Hawks to new heights of winning.

If Seattle wants the National Basketball Association to return, an ownership group can apply for an expansion team. I do not know when the NBA intends to expand, and how big it wants to get.
