Mutombo Interested Buying Hawks

mutumbotAs was the case when the Clippers were for sale, just about everyone is rumored to be interested in buying the Hawks. Most recently of note, Chris Webber is the face of a group looking to purchase the franchise. But C-Webb is preceded by Dominique Wilkins and others.

Another former Hawk has thrown his hat in as well. Dikembe Mutombo is reportedly interested as well. That would go over well as he’s still beloved by the Atlanta fanbase.

Former Hawks player Dikembe Mutombo has met with a group of investors about joining their bid to buy the Atlanta Hawks.

The group, which is made up in part of Atlanta businessmen, has begun the preliminary work to get involved in the sale of the team. Talks are ongoing. The group may also consist of other former NBA players. They hope to meet with the NBA commissioner’s office in the near future.

Mutombo did not return a message left at the office of his foundation in Atlanta.
