<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Atlanta music mogul and Philips Arena regular Jermaine Dupri gives us five moves he'd make if he ran the Hawks: 1. Put more press and marketing hype behind players. Josh Smith, for example. He won the dunk contest, but when you go to games you'd never know. 2. Get a marquee player like a Tracy McGrady or a Vince Carter. We haven't had a true star since Dominique. 3. Make players and coaches accountable. Let's not tolerate being labeled the worst team in the league. 4. Find ways to attract the many celebrities living in Atlanta to games. It would liven up the arena. 5. Set goals and incentives to win: Coaches would be fired if we lost 20 games in a row. </div> Source Must be a slow news day for Atlanta basketball.
That would be great if it happened but I can't really see it happening. If Atlanta was to get a star player it would need one who would make other players around them better because theres a lot of young talent in Alanta. I look forward to see if Atlanta can turn things around next season.
I hope Atlanta turns things around next season and I wouldnt mind having JD as the owner of the Hawks man look at Nelly and the bobcats first season, they were sub-par but still better than the Hawks. As long as JD was only the owner and not the coach or GM i'd love him as the Owner.
wow His plan is to "get a marquee player"..... what a revolutionary concept!! Who would have ever thought of that? This man should be running the hawks!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Jermaine Dupri is a Hawks fan? The Hawks even have fans? </div> "Welcome to Atlanta where the players play and we ride on them thans like every day..." Ok, enough of that. But JD could do a fairly good job I think. Fairly good. not excellent.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Jermaine Dupri is a Hawks fan? The Hawks even have fans? </div> Yeah they have fans. Alo of people got love for my team. We just aren't as good as we have been. We will be good next year. Playoff Contenders next year.
