Is Rick Sund still hanging around the office? Why, yes, he is!

http://blogs.ajc.com...rns-as-adviser/

Former Hawks coach Bob Weiss is set to join Larry Drew’s staff as an adviser. Weiss will be heavily involved in developing players and will sit behind the bench during games.

Weiss coached the Hawks from 1990-91 to ‘92-93 and also was head coach for the Spurs, Clippers and Sonics. He most recently was a head coach in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Weiss’ hiring is one of a handful of Hawks staff moves expected to be announced today...

Former Hawks GM Rick Sund, who has remained on staff during Ferry’s transition, will take on a new role as senior adviser to the basketball operations. Sund’s duties will include scouting and he will split time between Atlanta and his permanent home in the Seattle area.

Also, fare thee well, Chattin Hill.

You have to be looking somewhere to have found the likes of Pape Sy. Gems like that don't just fall into your lap.

Whose games developed during the Weiss era of yonder days? Rumeal Robinson? Duane Ferrell, perhaps? Should he get credit for Plastic Man or was that more of Lenny's staff?~lw3

What's the rational behind this. Doesn't seem very Ferry like?

Since leaving the Hawks back in 1993 - this is now 20 years later. I'm sure he has learned something of value in the last 20 years working with George Karl and Nate McMillan.

You never know.He could be one of those guys that are awful head coaches but great assisants.
