He said "The Webber Group" expressed intentions to acquire the majority interest of the Atlanta Hawks. Their goals are to establish a team of high character individuals, give back to the local community, and keep the team in Atlanta forever.

The Hawks are currently the 27th valued franchise in the NBA, worth $425 million according to Forbes.
