Bad coaching- Kidd Giannis 'star' trajectory started last year, this is year 2 for him. He needs an improved jump shot and a 3 ball. Teams pack the paint against him and there are no other reliable 3 point shooters to clear the paint. Luxury Tax - bad GM overpaying guys like Delly, Snelly, Telly and Henson. Bad personell in subsequent drafts selecting 'length'. That team lacks shooting and all the supporting cast plays the same way.

Kokosov - 3years Fizdale and Boreggo - 4 years Pierce - 3+1 years Snyder 4 years McMillan - 3years 3-4 years is typical.

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Coach! Great birthday present!!!

Baze likes it....

IIRC they are still under contract.

Most of the current staff has been at the practice facility working out the draft picks.

It took you long enough! Your avatar......

I'm ok on the player development side but what will be his Xs and Os strategy? It's a wait and see approach.

But shouldn't go to Toronto, they're gonna be rebuilding pretty soon. Too much ISO ball and not enough 3pt shooting. Bucks are a young up and coming team with a legitimate star.

I'm neither overjoyed or sad. I'm just happy it's not a retread . Welcome Coach LP!!! So....we've had:BudCox and Schlenkenholzer, what's Schlenk and Pierce?Schliercey? Schlloyd?

Rather have him than Moose. He showed more in his short time than Moose has in 5 years. The ankle injury really set him back.

$400K of that amount was guaranteed by next Tuesday. No sense tying up that money unnecessarily.

Minny is a bad example, they've been out of the playoffs for 12 years straight.

The Philly tank didn't commence because they drafted an injured Embiid. Simmons wasn't an injured draft pick, he was injured in Summer League and required surgery and missed entire season. The Philly tank started when they traded Jrue Holiday, followed up by moving Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young the next year, followed by trading former ROY Carter-Williams the next year. I do think that if Embiid was healthy to start his career, events more than likely would not have unfolded the way they did for Philly.

Why? He seems owner in name only. I'm disappointed by his impact in selling the Hawks, local or otherwise. He seems more interested in his NBA TV gig.

I tried reading the entire 184 pages but stopped at about 11, then jumped to 53, same thing, hightailed it into the 150's...now I'm here at 184.

I don't know if he's the best but there is no denying what he did here with some very marginal players.

...and with that, I've had enough of this thread....I was bored for a bit.

Doesn't change the FACTS - TANK 2018 IS Over. 2018 new coach, 2018 draft lottery, 2018 draft and 2018 Summer League. GO HAWKS!!!

Let's try this one more time......2018 new coach, 2018 draft lottery, 2018 draft and 2018 Summer League. GO HAWKS!!!

That made me give a sensible chuckle.

Like I said...2018 new coach, 2018 draft lottery, 2018 draft and 2018 Summer League. GO HAWKS!!!
