The Atlanta Hawks are mired in what will likely be a years-long rebuild.
To Corbin Smith of FanSided’s The Step Back, that’s just fine.
Smith recently wrote a piece outlining how he believes the Hawks, more than any other team, are the perfect example of a team that is more focused on the nobility of the game rather than the craven act of winning. According to Smith:
“In this way, the Hawks are a noble franchise. Winning is gauche. It goes on and on in the same way and it sucks the air out of the league.
