Hey Squawk..

Would you hire Adrian Griffin Sr. as Top Assistant Coach?  Has there ever been a Father/Son ...Coach/Player relationship in the NBA?

Stevie Wonder could tell you this team needed to add toughness more than anything else.   Doing that with 2 rookies is not the answer.  It could help, but they're going to need VETERAN toughness to turn this team of soft a** b*****es around.

One of the things that kept coming to my mind though... was... So when does Schlenk hire Adrian Griffin to be our Top Assistant...

I would be open to adding Griffin.  Ideally, if you do that it isn't a situation where you are bringing in a relative of the player to make the player happy which is how you end up with underqualified people on college coaching staffs, etc.  Instead, you hope it is the opposite where he wouldn't normally consider the Hawks but would be eager to come now for the chance to be with his son.

Yeah. I don't know how the relationship will work being that it's never been done before..

But Griffin Sr..  (Even if he didn't have Griffin Jr.) is a worthy candidate.  His resume' is good.  He has put in about 10 yrs of coaching from the assistant side.  I just wonder if he has offensive genius because that's what we need.  IF he was top assistant in Toronto for the last 4 years, he also has championship experience.  That's something that Nate doesn't have.

Well, our best player is as tough as they come.   JC too.  Clint too.  I would like to see us get one player who is not a nice guy. One guy who's presence suggest You don't want Drama (8 Ball MJG)...

I would give Adrian a try and (Doc Rivers/Austin Rivers) but I'm not sure about assistant.

Big question now:  With the mega trade finished, will these new Hawks get any playing time?  Remember, these two promise great offense and great defense!
