The Atlanta Hawks

Happy to see Pero Antic's name on the rising stars pool. Well deserved for the not so young rookie.

Another tomahawk jam from Millsap. First was in November.

Another season ending surgery for the Hawks and this time, sophomore reserved guard John Jenkins with a lower back surgery.

Hawks receive and absorb Antawn Jamison from the LA Clippers.

Nice comeback by the Hawks in the second half against fellow division team, Charlotte. Millsap, Teague and Korver hit a triple each to really swing the offense. Hard to believe but the Bobcats hold a 3 game advantage over the Hawks in the southeast.

Hawks book the last playoff ticket for the eastern conference playoffs by winning against the HEAT tonight. They dedicate this one to the late Lou Hudson who passed away this week.

Atlanta Hawks have agreed to send guard Lou Williams and center Lucas Nogueira to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for John Salmons (expiring contract).

Hawks to re-sign Shelvin Mack. I feel that Mack really responded to Mike Budenholzer's system last season. He focused more on point guard chores instead of the baseline attack.

According to new sources, Seattle is a prime candidate for relocation.

Relocate the Hawks to Seattle? That would be a real shame.

Personally I'd rather see the Clippers, Warriors, Suns, Jazz, or Nuggets move..... especially the Jazz or the Warriors. Actually, this gives me an idea.

Not yet final though as other parties are also interested with the Hawks franchise. According to the news, Mayor Kasim Reed met with six different groups.

It would be a real mistake to leave the Atlanta market. That team has not been run well and is not as rooted as it should be. All of the Southern NBA franchises have the same problem as Atlanta, too. New Orleans should be drafting more local players or players from LSU or even playing preseason games around the LA/Alabama area, and should have an NBDL team in Alabama. Atlanta should do the same in Georgia and have an NBDL team in Birmingham. Memphis should have an NBDL team in Little Rock, and Charlotte should have an NBDL team in Charleston. It's no coincidence that the Southern teams are often the ones on the list of teams with financial or attendance problems. It doesn't have to be that way though.

Al Horford will return this Tuesday to the active lineup after his season ending injury last season.
