Tony Ressler has plans – some large in scope – for the Hawks, Philips Arena and downtown Atlanta.
The Hawks principal owner has been busy in his first nine months in charge of the NBA franchise. While Ressler hasn’t spoken publically since his group completed a purchase of the Hawks in June, until the unveiling of a new practice facility last week, he has established a set of five priorities for the franchise. They are the driving force for the direction the he, his partners and team management said they are committed to following for the present and future.
