AOL pulls out of deal with David McDavid.: The Hawks have been in ownership limbo since the end of the 2001-2002 season. Texas Businessman David McDavid was going to ride in on a white horse with his group of investors and save the day. Even pal Mike Dunleavy Sr. was going to join the posse as they resurrected the franchise. None of this happened. Instead it appears AOL has shifted gears and agreed to sell to Boston businessman Steve Belkin and a group of Atlantan investors. Are the Hawks in the clear now? Are good things ahead? Or is this more of the old 'same old same old'?

The Hawks were my favorite team way back when. Spud Webb, Nique, Doc, Willis. I have no idea who plays for them now.

Neither do they.

By the way Belkin was in the Bird group trying to buy the Charlotte franchise. And one of the investors in this group is Ted Turner's son-in-law.
