Hawks GM Billy Knight FIRES HIMSELF (or just resigns) effective July 1, this is good

Billy Knight is gone from the Atlanta Hawks franchise. He has done alot for this franchise as the GM, and as much as we thank him for bringing us Joe Johnson, Al Horford, and Mike Bibby, we HATE this man for passing on CHRIS PAUL (Marvin Williams?!? Marvin WILLIAMS!?) and BRANDON ROY (Shelden Williams....SHELDEN Williams!??). But, those are not the only things Knight has done for this franchise and moreso for the NBA.
