In my opinion Belkin, the guy who is holding out on the deal for the Hawks, is doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
He is just trying to mess with the team to force the other owners to buy him out, which is the wrong thing. If he wants out of the ownership, he should negotiate it like an adult rather than throwing a tantrum like a child.
However, saying no to that OUTRAGEOUS contract along with not one but two first round draft picks is the right move. If Hawks really want to pay that bloated contract for a guy who had had one good season, then they should just make him the offer and see if the Suns will fold (which I think they will). But those draft picks are their insurance policy for future years if JJ turns out to be less than they expect.
