The new head coach/GM of the Atlanta Hawks.  Quit playing around with this thing.

So is Tony Ressler still considered "cheap", since Fans say that's the only reason Nate was still here? lol

Call Trae a coach killer if you want but if you were HAPPY with Nate and his performance- Speak up! Defend Nate's coaching. I dare you.

I said previously,  if they were to let him go it would happen after the Allstar weekend to not giving a talking point during the festivities.

I probably missed that, haven't been that active in the last few weeks. Now I've been pulled back in.

Good luck with that.

 

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?

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

The only person that wants Trae gone is Supes and it makes me wonder about his sanity.

Don't get it twisted, no one was happy with Nate's nonsense.  It's just more fun for certain posters to scream coach killa and hate on Trae.  It's literally the majority of their posts on here anyway.  This is just the obvious low hanging fruit.  

iow....ignore the idiots.

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

Oh no...there's PLENTY of haters on here.  They've just been on a slight hiatus.  Don't worry, the usual suspects will crawl back from under their rock now that there's a feeding frenzy.

This is only the beginning. I’m expecting a real overhaul this summer. I think a lot is being considered really even keeping the same starting 5 and overhauling the bench only .

You want to bring in motion offense guys to coach Trae Young? 

Some people feel like the Hawks would be the Warriors 2.0 if we had a Warriors system. smh

 

[Sothron]

Glad he is gone. He refused to alter his offense or how he treated players.

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?

[Wretch]

Man, how was I sitting right here on the Squawk and missed this an hour ago...lol

This is straight up my preseason "prediction."  On the dot.  Right at the All-Star break.

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

If anything a really good bench would go a long way. With lots of Bobby Portis types. We really cheaped it bad with the Holidays, Kaminsky, etc.
