Perhaps, even making the playoffs and engaging its fan base with some excitement is paramount for a franchise to accomplish revenue.
Nobody gives a **** if KP was an ******* at age 20 with his mixed race girlfriend in the building he was living in. Dude was rehabbing his knee, maybe taking pain meds and was a dick. That was how many years ago. If he keeps doing it thats another issue.
Hawks figure KP "Cold" is behind him and they too did their home work. He a bad teammate? He have chronic incurable issues? or can hawks get 50 games from him and entertain our base. Thats what it's all about. That and the Hokey Pokey.
