It was a pretty dead weekend as far as anything we’d consider newsworthy goes, so we thought we’d update our readers on the goings on with our old faithful punching bag–The Atlanta Hawks.

It’s been well documented here that we feel a management team made up of Lance Bass and Clay Aiken could do a better job with the Hawks than the one currently in place. Billy Knight continues to do nothing to dispute that claim. Knight–GM of the Hawks and possibly largest moron at any executive level position in the United States–recently broke down his draft analysis to the media by talking about the butts of grown men. To sum it up, Billy feels the Hawks currently only have two guys with the size butts you need to play the low post in the NBA. Billy thinks the other guys on the team have scrawny butts, flatbacks if you will. Billy would really like to land another big butted guy or two. Billy feels this would really up the butt volume average on the team. Classic.

And not to be defined in the recent news only by butt talk, the Hawks also unveiled their new uniforms for the ‘07-’08 season (above). This was actually a pleasant surprise, because the Hawks are one of those organizations that have gotten so bad that they’re to the point where even small aesthetic changes could help to make a serious organizational difference.

But don’t get your hopes up too high Hawks’s fans. Our draft prediction for the Hawks isn’t final, but as we’ve been making ourselves think more and more like Hawks’ management in recent weeks, we’re leaning to the Hawks selecting Joakim Noah with the 3rd pick and that tall African guy that Kevin Bacon discovered in “The Air Up There” with the 11th pick. From what we’ve heard, Billy Knight caught the movie on USA last week and thinks the guy can really ball and probably has about ten years of game left in him.
