Press Conference
"First of all I will present the reasons of firing our Gm Mike Woodson",club president Bernard J. Mullin said."Atlanta Hawks has a roster full of talent and desire to work.We want use that that desire and talent to create a team that will not be last positioned in the nba anymore.We can be better.The players and the board know that.Mike Woodson was an excellent GM.He is experienced and he has knowledge that all of the great GM's have.But i think he doesn't have the motivation to work with Atlanta Hawks anymore.We were looking for someone young and full of motivation.You press and the fans probably ask why to put totally unknown and unexperienced GM to work with a team.My answer is will to work and desire to succeed.That's why we hired Amarson to be our new GM.Our Expectations will be presented by our newest member of the board-Amarson."
Amarson:"I think that we can't rush ourselves with high expectations like getting to the playoffs or something like that.I know that all of the fans would to see Atlanta Hawks to compete for playoff spot or to get even higher.We have to work step by step.If you ask me I think that we don't have a team for playoffs,but we do have a team,to be close to that goal.But with new player at center position and maybe one or two more benchees we can be a playoff team.I say we give our team some time to get to know new players and me,and then we can set our expectations higher.Thank you for your cooperation.Goodbye"
