OK. So, since he is so highly regarded, is he a finalist for any other job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is this negative about every move....knows more than Arnovitz's of the world! Well, I’m certainly not going to be shepherded into thinking that every move they make will work out particularly when I absolutely hate the direction this GM chose to go in to build this team.

So the absolute best you can do is trash every move that's made now and in the future? The coach (on topic) may very well be Pierce or Lorranaga. I think either will do for what the hawk's are now and can be in the future. Did you honestly think Bud was a great coach at first? If you did, that's great, but I think a new coach deserves a measure of patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his pedigree coming from the Spurs system and way of doing things, and I also liked the fact that the GM at that time also came from the same system. Lloyd Pierce has nowhere near the resume Mike Budenholzer had. Jay Larranaga doesn't either, but I do think Jay has a chance to be really good.

KB21 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Hawks message to their young players: "We want you to focus on development and the fundamentals that lead to winning games, but instead of winning games, we want you to lose games at an alarming rate, so are not giving you any veteran leaders that can help your development."

KB21 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Because of some stupid, asinine reason, I guess I have to post this in this thread. Do you realize that the only reason Sam Hinkie considered Lloyd Pierce for the head coaching job in 2013 was because he knew he couldn't win and disrupt his overall plan? The same thing is happening in Atlanta. Schlenk knows that Pierce isn't experienced enough to win, and that's why he's the top candidate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parting ways with Budenholzer to me is a commitment to losing for a few years, a la The Process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you leaving this team? Why be a fake azz fan who can see no good when they do things you don't like? You seem to have knowledge that could at least be brought to this forum going forward. You can't change the direction, and as such offer a go forward strategy that doesn't include bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
