First of all lower your expectations, I won't be giving much dirt up.
Tonight was another town hall meeting that was supposed to be with
Billy Knight. Unfortunately, Billy Knight had to leave town due to
a tragedy in his family, and so Bernie Mullin stepped in. For those
who don't know Bernie, he's the president and CEO of the atlanta spirit
Bernie started off by making sure that there was no media, and nobody
"with a blog" in the room, basically asking not to report the info
given up in the meeting. So I figure that since they are cool enough
to keep ticket holders in the loop as far as exactly what is going on,
I should be cool enough to not spread "inside info". Sorry.
But I will say this. I left the last BK meeting with mixed feelings.
BK impressed me in a number of ways, yet scared me because a) he doesn't
care what anyone thinks and b) he didn't see a need for a point guard at
all. That scared me a bit - well a lot. I left with the same opinion as
when I got there, that I would judge BK after his moves this offseason.
On the other hand, after this meeting with Bernie, I feel 100% CERTAIN
that they are great owners (+president), ready to take this franchise
back to the top, and that they really know what's going on. Even those
fans who disagree with BK should have full faith in this ownership, just
trust me on that one. If BK or Woody don't get the job done and there
are better options, they will take care of it. That being said, they feel
that while ownership can suggest whatever they want to a GM/coach, it is
important to let them do their job the way they judge best. If they don't
cut it, you fire them. But you don't interfere. (i.e. unlike Belkin - my
words not his).
So that being said, I will share a thought or two that I feel Bernie
wouldn't really care if they got out, and won't share the more juicy
info that could help other teams etc...
The main points that I feel safe to share are that:
-ownership (I use the term loosely and include Bernie) recognizes the fact
that we do need a PG in the worst way. This reassured me greatly after
hearing BK deny that fact
-the immediate focus is on bigs because they feel that it is much easier
to find a PG than to find a big
-the general guideline to BK is that his next moves should be aimed more
towards winning soon, not just looking at the distant future like we did
with the Marvin pick
Overall Bernie was very likely, and you could tell that he is passionate
about the team, and shared some of his frustrations in vivid (and hilarious)
detail.
I hope he doesn't mind that I shared what little I did.
Trust me on this one, the franchise is in good hands.
