Sorry, too used to twitter trolls lol - I do hope his kid isn't sick and it's not a serious situation ofc

Being a good dad and staying home to care for your kids is a positive yes, way to completely misconstrue what I said

Why can't speculation ever be positive? Maybe Trae has to stay home and take care of a sick child or something

Well, Now that this part of the Will they - wont they with Nate is done, what's the drama for the rest of the season? Would love it if Snyder somehow joined before the season is up My best case: We make the play-in, it's a struggle to win the game but we knock the annoying Heat out as revenge for last year Easily win the first round, no struggle, bye bye 76rs, Joel Embiid you are now a Hawk Second round we take it to 7 and get knocked out by likeable champions the Bucks We enjoy our run at the end of the season, but it's not so good that Prunty is given a multi year offer

18-5, #WeMove

Best of luck to Joe, should be cool seeing someone who actually runs plays at the helm. Presuming Prunty was in favor of development, it'll be nice seeing JJ a bit more unleashed as well

Betonline odds aligning with this thread pretty well

Wasn't he making unwanted comments towards women in the org? Keeping it in your pants gotta be the first step in having some emotional maturity at work, doubt he gets the pick

Ahhh I was misremembering I guess lol, thanks for the context behind the departure

Can or can't, how can anyone possibly know till a new offense gets put in and you actually see what Trae does?

I don't see a world where it's a horrendous look for the FO. If Charlotte was bad enough to pull out of at the last second, those signs did not just appear the final day after you had agreed to sign. It's definitely a character issue on Kenny's part, and while he's of course entitled to the best for him and his fam, logistically the onus at that part was on Atkinson and he dropped the ball and caused this look

I suppose that's one way to look at things, but I feel like the coaching search is gonna be deeper than hiring the offense Trae would prefer

Idk about what KG is gonna say, but ik Kenny dropping out of the Hornets HC job at the last second is a horrendous look. Having someone who's done that would make me real hesitant to hire them. I want someone who WANTS to be Hawk like a mfer, just all in on this franchise. The more I look at Quin, the more I see the crazy eyes leading us to the promise land, I'm gassing myself up on his hype Random, but I don't really want Ime's creeper self on this team either; having a history of harassing women at work should be an auto dq from any job at such a high level when there's a lot of talent at this level without that stain on their history.

Only confirmation we have is Hawks are interested in certain people, and that's the info we have to go off of until we hear otherwise. Not sure why Trae's opinions on motion offense would have anything to do with interviewing people like Snyder

Almost a week to the day lol, nice call. Hopefully the next coach can prioritize AJ's and JJ's development, those 2 can be so special

Refused to change how he treated players in reference to things like vets > youth and not developing them? Or was he actively being not nice to people on the team?

Based on ChatGPT's description, I'd lean towards Quin more comfortably since he has experience in the big chair, but Charles Lee also looks promising. We can only go up from here, so I'm happy with whoever on the Kyle Korver tree list

The issue with ChatGPT is you never know when it's making ish up and spewing it to you, and unless you're familiar with the search topic you may leave with bad info. This looks solid though, thanks!! Going to see what it says about our former HC's to test it out.... What kind of coach is Nate Mcmillan?

Overall, Nate McMillan is considered to be a highly skilled and experienced basketball coach who has had a successful career at both the collegiate and professional levels. I mean, he do be looking calm and steady on the sidelines with those arms crossed.. What kind of coach is Lloyd Pierce?

While he was let go by the Atlanta Hawks in 2021, he is widely regarded as a rising star in the coaching world and is likely to have many opportunities in the future. Again, I suppose this stuff is true - he certainly did create some strong relationships with Trae lol

What are the strengths / weaknesses of those coaches? Not really familiar with their backgrounds other than surface level stuff. I'll vote after lol

At least Supes justifies his reasonings with basketball context, other people just don't like his attitude lol

I thought he was considered cheap more so for not going into the lux tax. The Nate thing I always thought was cause it would be a bad look to lose another HC in the middle of a season

There's 2 sides to this right? 1. Hawks players are so thick-headed they won't listen to anyone and will not hold themselves accountable. Essentially saying players are too cocky to be coached and grow as players/humans 2. There are no coaching candidates available who have the skillset needed to connect with the players and communicate with them in a way that holds them responsible for their actions (accountability) Where do you see the problem being?

If Hawks have such a potent coach killer on their team, why would established and sought-after head coaching candidates even be willing to interview for our team?

For real, if coaches are "getting killed" by Trae, they gotta be doing something wrong. It's like I've heard - No happy marriage ends in divorce, so if our team was good and happy, coaches wouldn't have to go right?
