Executive
Winner: Steve Belkin

His unwillingness to trade Boris Diaw last summer was proven correct during the 2005-06 season. Then after being forced out by his fellow owners in Atlanta, he wins a court battle that might lead to those owners being forced to sell him the team after all.

Loser: Billy Knight

Maybe the Hawks GM has been handcuffed somewhat by the organization's front office confusion, but he sure has moved slowly on the Al Harrington trade. Meanwhile, his refusal to shake Belkin's hand last year won't help him if the Boston businessman takes over.

Any thought?

It's not like Belkin was a huge Diaw guy. He just had a cheaper contract.

It should read "his unwillingness to spend money on the team."
