New Rule*

If your NBA franchise loses one of its stars to a foreign league, you get contracted.

Honestly: This kind of blows my mind. I get that the Hawks are terrible, and that Childress will probably make more money in those three years in Greece than he would have in the States. But c’mon. This is just embarrassing. For the entire city of Atlanta. What an awful, awful place, both for sports and (apparently) to live in. How about we just contract that entire city, leaving nothing but the airport and a Coca Cola bottling plant?
