He quit man
I heard otherwise. I heard he wanted to come back but he wanted to test the marketBreh I been saying all season (check page 30 of this thread) that i didn't think this partnership would last. The signs were hidden in plain sight:
-Bud getting demoted
-Blatant tanking
-Bud not being hired by a Schlenk or Ressler
Yet you and @Sly Cookin dismissed it as "speculation", were y'all really that blind to what was playing out in front of us?
Bye Menace. We going full HinkieDennis might not be here long. Me and Dennis share a VERY close acquaintance and I was told earlier today Bud wasn't coming back. Also told Dennis wasn't feeling direction team was going.
The Hawks then confirmed the report, announcing the split, and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN then released this statement from the now-departed head coach.
“I am grateful for the five years that I spent as coach of the Atlanta Hawks, and will always cherish the incredible contributions, commitment and accomplishments of the players that I was fortunate enough to work with here. From ownership to management, support staff to the community, I’ll look back with great pride on what we were able to achieve together with the Hawks.”
