    first Billy Knight, then Dennis Lindsey, and now Chris Grant. I don't blame them, they're offering pocket change(cheap bastard), and they don't ever let the GM do his job, without those idiot butting in to their business.

    It a group of 8 guy(I think) and each of them hold a share of the Hawks(SMH). They hired Billy Knight, let the dude rebuild and keep the payroll low, but then when he wanted to start using the money( they were under the cap), to get a star like a Joe Johnson, Steve Belkin stepped in and said he was over playing for him. They went into court, claimed he wanted to keep the payroll as low as possible(when all of them actually want to do that). He was voted out of ownership, but has still been a pain in the ass to the Hawks organization. Everything started looking okay then, but then just this year we start hearing about them blocking a bunch of Billy Knights trades(like Josh Childress for Jose Caldron smh), and blocking Knight's request to fire Mike Woodson 3 times. Basically they didn't let the man do his job, and kept butting into everything he did. Now they'll looking for a new GM, and offering the lowest price, and with all the turn down, I'm guessing they're saying that they're not gonna change their ways. This could be the worst ownership in basketball.
