  • The Athletic Date: 11/16/2020
    THE ATHLETIC DATE: 11/16/2020 Schultz: Tony Ressler putting on pressure for Hawks to take a leap By: Jeff Schultz https://theathletic.com/2201724/2020/11/16/atlanta-hawks-tony-ressler-nba-draft-nba-free-agency/ Like most self-made billionaires, and others with the word “tycoon” in their wiki-bio, Hawks owner Tony Ressler is wired differently than most of us. Patience is not his best trait. Limbs flail in all directions during games. When he’s at home, he furiously scribbles reams of notes on yellow legal pads, often underlining sentences several times, to be read back later to his general manager and coach. Jami Gertz, his wife, believes he’s borderline OCD, and even though she’s an actress and doesn’t hold a medical degree, “I once played a doctor on television.” She said it’s bad enough at times that when they’re watching a televised game at their home in Los Angeles, “I’m like, you know what? Give your shit to some other people, I’m done. I’m going to bed.” This is an important week for the Hawks. The draft is Wednesday night and free agency opens two days later. They pick only sixth, and they’re not going to blow things out in free agency, even though they’re more than $43 million below the salary cap. But because of their pick and payroll flexibility, they’re somewhat the flavor of the week when it comes to being potential trade partners for other teams. Atlanta has an enormous opportunity to build on a young core by adding one or two veteran players to the roster and become not just a playoff team but a pretty good one.

The first soldiers attached to the Poznan headquarters began arriv- ing last month after the Army re- activated the unit at Fort Knox, Ky. About 200 troops will eventu- ally be assigned to the forward ele- ment in Poland while an addition- al 400 will work from Kentucky. The activation of the Poznan mission came after Polish Presi- dent Andrzej Duda on Nov. 9 signed off on a security coopera- tion pact that paved the way for the unit to officially launch.
