ATLANTA (AP) -- Turner Broadcasting entered exclusive talks with Dallas businessman David McDavid about the sale of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers. The arrangement means that Turner will negotiate only with McDavid to reach a deal on the sale of the teams and rights to their home arena. ``As of today, Turner Broadcasting has entered into a letter of intent providing an exclusive negotiating period with David McDavid for the purpose of his possible purchase of the Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers and the operating rights to Philips Arena,'' Turner spokesman Greg Hughes said. AOL Time Warner Inc. is Turner's parent company.
i hope he buys the team, AOL has done a horrible job as owner for the hawks, thrashers, and braves. Companies should be allowed to own teams. The owners of teams should just be a certain person or a group of people that actually care about how the team does
