Christmas  a second time!

Ugh though.   They should have worked this out before it got public.   Mutually agreed to part ways.  I'm guessing Hawks have no real options.

He wasn't sure he wanted to stay on as the full time coach after his interim gig. Now he's considering resigning. 

It's time!!!

LIke I said, Nate knew what he was doing hiring all of these sh1tty a$s assistants.. lol

Fans last few years: "McMillan is a terrible coach who I'd never want to coach my team."

Fans rn: "See, see, Trae is a coach killer.  Even a great coach likeMcMillan don't wanna coach him."

Eta. Screw these "news" breakers.  Not killing the messenger.  Killing the process by which Nate feeds this info for his own purpose rather than just quitting like he knows he wants to.

Yea I think it may be time. We have a ton of young talent, and we need a coach that can properly use it.

Think we should be doing alot better. Glad he is aware enough to sense he is not the right guy long term.

So the "story" is that 4 weeks ago Nate "thought about resigning" but has now had nothing but good conversations with the team and his resignation is not imminent?  How the hell is that a story?  I mean, it would have been a story 4 freakin weeks ago.  But now it's what?  A distraction?  A way to keep the Hawks in the news?  What?  
 

Why is there a story today about a non-event that didn't happen 4 weeks ago???  Who benefits from this?  Is it just a way to continue the Trae-hate narrative in the media?  Something weird is going on with this team.

In Nates defense

Trae has 4 DNP’s this season. Throwing out the Memphis game where everybody sat out, the other three games are 3 of the best performances of the whole season relative to expectations. They beat a title contending Bucks team, beat the team with the best record in the West (Denver), and were a hair away from beating the hottest current team in the league Brooklyn.

Small sample size I know.. Just sayin...lol

Sounds like you read it.  That's all they want.  Clicks 'n views, baybee.

It's no shock he's getting fired but there is really nothing he can do about it. The GM got rid of depth and this team starters aren't a good enough fit to overcome it.

I’m sorry to disturb @Jody23 and thank you … but if and most likely WHEN it happens, could you be the one to take us home with your infamous trademark game line? Because it would be like Cinderella and the shoe . 

 

At this point, I’m waiting more on your line to be delivered than having Nate actually sent home. 

[AtLaS]

Well now he basically has to be fired since this leaked.  Everyone knows he's a sitting duck so players aren't going to buy into anything he says.  

I like Nate and wish him well but it's clear he isn't getting the best out of this team.

[Wurider05]

How does stuff like this get out?  You got a guy who now everyone knows may not want to be here leading our team? There is some funny business going on around here and I don't like it a bit. Somebody in management is leaking this stuff. 

[Phunkabilly]

So I'm assuming if Nate resigns, then the rest of his contract is terminated and the Hawks owe him nothing else financially, correct?  However, if he's fired, then the Hawks are still on the hook for the rest of the contract.  I mean, that sounds like a lot of money at stake to me, especially for an owner that appears to be more concerned with turning a profit than winning at all costs.  It kinda feels like we have a game of chicken here between Nate and Ressler.

Weird as 4 weeks ago we looked better then we do now.
