Dominique Wilkins Interested In Buying Hawks 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 16, 2014 10:15 pm

Dominique Wilkins has an interest in purchasing the Atlanta Hawks.


Wilkins declined to say whether he was one of the six current prospective buyers.


It was released in a briefing on Tuesday that Wilkins will get a statue outside Philips Arena on March 6, 2015.

Is Wilkins gonna rob a bank? Or is he gonna do what Magic Johnson did with buying the Dodgers?

Cause there's no way in hell that Wilkins has even close enough $$ to buy a NBA team.

Yeah, it's another Magic Johnson deal. Some ownership group is going to make him the face of the franchise while he himself only invests in about 1% of the team.

I remember Nique was definitely among the highest paid of his era but does he really have the kind of money to own a team?
