A good look at how things really went down on the Thrashers sale:
“We had 20-some groups that we were in contact with. Probably three that were fully vetted legitimate buyers that could afford to buy it,†he said. “We were down the path with one, way down the road, I actually thought it was going to happen. At the last moment, a couple things happened and it fell apart.
“We had a lot of phone calls and a lot of meetings, but at truly there (were) about three potential buyers at the end.â€
On top of this, Waddell says he's still employed at Atlanta Spirit to try and sell the Hawks.

Very happy for Winnipeg, but this didn't have to happen this way. Now Atlanta Spirit has no NHL and probably no NBA next year.
