ESPN - The Maryland judge who last month ruled Steve Belkin is entitled to buy the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers from his former co-owners added a new twist to the ongoing feud Thursday, the Associated Press is reporting.
Montgomery County (Md.) Circuit Court Judge Eric Johnson ruled the current ownership and management team should retain control while the appeals are heard. But the good news for the Atlanta Spirit group also included the judge's stipulation that will prevent the Hawks or Thrashers from signing a free agent to a contract longer than one year.
The stipulation doesn't relate to negotiations with draft picks for either team.
The ruling also doesn't affect any negotiations already under way, including the Hawks' agreement to sign free agent point guard Speedy Claxton. The deal, believed to be for four years, cannot be officially announced before Wednesday.
The judge ordered that the other owners can't "initiate the purchase, sale, trade or negotiation of any NBA or NHL player contract ... excluding contracts involving present or future draft picks and contracts for any other player with a contract duration of one year or less."
The ruling would appear to put the Hawks and Thrashers at a significant competitive disadvantage in their ability to attract free agents
Was für eine Katastrophe ! Wir können jetzt keinen Free Agent mehr verpflichten außer sein Contract ist 1 Jahr lang. Oh man was für ne sch****:kotz: . Wenigstens können wir Speedy signen da das Urteil ihn nicht betrifft weil wir ihn vorher schon signen wollten. So hab ich das mal verstanden.
Edit: Anscheinend gilt das auch für Trades. Also müssen wir wenn wir mit Al einen S&T machen ihn gegen einen Spieler tauschen dessen vertrag nur noch ein Jahr läuft.Oder können wir Al überhaupts signen für mehrere Jahre oder ist das auch "verboten" ?
