With the recent sale of the franchise's majority to California based businessman Alex Meruelo and with Muruelo's pledge to bring in a championship for the franchise, there has been renewed hope for the franchise that at times seemed like ready to soar. The franchise last won a championship in 1958 where Bob Petit and Cliff Hagan lead the way for the Saint Louis Hawks.
The Hawks have been a regular fixture in the playoffs since 2008 where they pushed the eventual champions, the Boston Celtics to a game 7. But after that promising showcase, the Hawks have stumbled into un-ceremonious exits for the past years in the playoffs.
There have been rumors of Josh Smith being traded sometime this year in exchange for a center on which will finally allow Al Horford to slide down to the power forward position.
Expect Jeff Teagu to be the starting point guard for the Hawks for the next foreseeable season after having a good series against the Chicago Bulls. Kirk Hinrich will be back in the fold as well after sitting out the Bulls series with a hamstring injury. Hinrich will provide stability on the floor.
