Hawks’ Ressler part of six-owner round-table discussion on NBA TV

Hawks principal owner Tony Ressler will be part of a panel of six NBA owners to participate in a round-table discussion on NBA TV on Friday.

Ressler will be joined on Open Court: Owner’s Edition by the Clippers’ Steve Ballmer, the Lakers’ Jeanie Buss, the Mavericks’ Mark Cuban, the Cavaliers’ Dan Gilbert and the Warriors Joseph Lacob. The show will air at 9:30 p.m. The hour-long episode is scheduled to cover a number of topics including owners serving as the organization’s most prominent decision maker, nurturing a healthy relationship with coaches and general managers, the pain of losing and the nature of establishing a vision for the franchise.

The Hawks have undergone a transformation is Ressler’s tenure. After last season, Ressler hired Travis Schlenk to general manager after a series of front-office moves that included head coach Mike Budenholzer dropping his president of basketball operations title and general manager Wes Wilcox moving into an advisory role. The team also spent the offseason rebuilding its roster.
