I’d say a Dees supporter knows a lot about teams being a joke, their experts at it.

There was a lot of back and forth going on for a while about payment, last I heard it was going 50-50.
Is this player going to make hawks any more competitive, I doubt it.

Someone did mention in another thread Hawks asked the league to fund their new import. NBL declined. Now forced to sign one.

"Why did they take so long to find a replacement?"
Honestly sounds like they weren't looking until the NBL put the hard word on them.

I'm glad the NBL isn't content to see teams perform badly. Is this too much interference though? Where's the money coming from? Can the Hawks afford this?

Olgun:
The catalyst for the Hobson signing, I’m told: immense pressure from the NBL (@illawarramerc had a great story on it yesterday). The league put its foot on the throat of the Hawks’ ownership, forcing a signing ASAP. Obviously the NBL wants LaMelo’s team to be somewhat competitive


Looks like Mills is spending alot of DNP Coach decision alot this season. Is this is final year on his contract with the Spurs. i can see a trade with him and Blair going on, possible with someone else like a Jackson.
