A Hawks sales pitch made the league's front office pitch a fit. The Association has issued a fine to the franchise, as well as two undisclosed others - reportedly the Kings and Rockets - for tampering because a mailing sent by Atlanta to ticket buyers mentions, by name, the foremost free agents the club is pursuing, which is a no-no.
A sentence in the letter speculates, "The possibilities of landing Chris Paul & Dwight Howard become more and more of a reality." Listen to them, confusing conjecture with confirmation, like a certain cable channel in that city*.
Both players, who clear out coaches the way Game of Thrones does characters, are still under contract with their respective teams until July 1, which means until that date, the league will be watching Atlanta like a Hawk.
*Its slogan: Respected by peers, except Piers. By the way, Anderson Cooper 360 disappointingly doesn't involved an airborn anchor executing a body-spinning slam.
