From #Set to Shyt: Welcome to Tankonia [2017-18 Atlanta Hawks Season Thread]

[AVXL]

Wonder who will be the next coach

I've been hearing Chris DeMarco from GS, Mark Jackson (which makes no sense considering he and Schlenk were in the GS organization at the same time when Jackson got fired) Fizdale...I'll be honest I'm not impressed by any of those names for this team. We need a young coach who is going to develop players and be ok with losing 50-55 games for the next couple seasons, I'm not sure if I get that from those names

Looks like we need #ZeroRez to remove the stench from our carpet of mediocrity

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

On the most recent Adrian Wojo podcast:

"At the end of the season it was reported that an anonymous owner of a lottery bound team ripped into his coach for beating 2 playoff teams down the stretch".

Obviously this is speculation but we did beat BOS & WAS down the stretch and we are in the lottery so

Sounds like Bud & Co leaking info to the press

Well it was quite stupid to win those games. Hopefully, it doesn't cost us a cornerstone player. I probably woud have cursed his ass out too.

I mean I wasn't happy we won those games either but what do you expect Bud to do? Throw games?

Bud wants to win and Schlenk/Ressler want to lose...if that's the main reason that forces Bud out then cool, but it's ridiculous for an owner (who is increasingly proving he doesn't know what he's doing as owner) to curse out a coach for winning. That makes no sense

Schlenk knows that jackson can develop a team to a certain point and they aren't trying to win for a few years.

Agree. Can we get a good owner for once

 

[AVXL]

Schlenk knows that jackson can develop a team to a certain point and they aren't trying to win for a few years.

But he wouldn't bring in Jackson because of the behavioral & personality shyt. He worked with him and knows him, I highly doubt he'd even be a candidate here if and when the job opens up

I don't think Mark Jackson's coaching ceiling is what is holding him back from getting a job

I want Bud back. Top 3-5 coach. We really got a great one. We aren't even tanking bad next year. In 2020, we gonna be competing seriously again

Bud still develops players. I wouldn't mind him back, imagine him a player with superstar potiential.

This. We got 4 picks and potentially more. Bud is a must keep. The system is in place. Family loves Atlanta. I understand this season was frustrating for Bud but next year shouldn't be the shyt again

if he can develop talent that is all that matters to me, so he wins a few games here and there, you are supposed to be competitiive, ppl act like steph(7th), klay(11th), and draymond(35th) were #1 picks

 

[Stone]

Not outta the woods yet, could be Spurs or Milwaukee. Hopefully we can keep him

You're cool with your coach publically pursuing other coaching jobs? I like Bud too but if he wants out then he can go.

How are you going to build a roster and winning franchise if the coach is looking elsewhere? If Bud isn't 100% bought into the direction of this franchise then he needs to leave
