Wizards clapping the Hawks cheeks in ATL. Time to blow it up?
Hawks mostly healthy getting blown out by the Wizards 99-71 start of the 4th.
Murray and Hunter should be the first to go.

sounds like they are blowing it up. COTM! Shit he has Capela who's supposedly just another Gobert. What's the excuse?

I just looked at their cap sheet and they're in purgatory. Capela still has yet another season at $22M. Hunter who is forever injury prone has like 3 years remaining after this one. I had no clue they extended Bogdan, but they did and he's probably one of the highest paid sixth men. And Trae qualified for the super max and so he takes up $43M+ of the cap sheet.
No easy way out of this situation. If I'm a good coach, I'm not even looking this team's way if they fire the current guy.

Re: Wizards clapping the Hawks cheeks in ATL. Time to blow it up?
The positive for a Hawks coach is one most people won't like but it's a reality: that team has never been built to win a championship and probably never will be. So it's a good job to take for a coach that wants that first job and also a place where you should have security if you can stay in the playoffs and win a series every few years. At best they tend to have one star teams like the Young teams of today or the Wilkins teams of the past. The best we ever saw them they managed to sneak a 12 ppg Kyle Korver into the allstar game. That year ended in an ECF sweep and that along with 60 wins made Mike Budenholzer impressive enough for the Bucks. A good launching pad job for him.

Except they fired Bud after dealing him a bad hand and expecting him to bluff his way into a jackpot. A few years later they did the same thing with McMillan.
This shows a consistent trend of giving a coach mediocre players and expecting excellent results. As you stated, these are usually 1 star teams, and the one star is not a top 10 player. Their expectations should honestly almost be zero.
Even this current roster is better than their record, but not a whole lot better. They should probably be a 19-19 team instead of a 15-23, but that's only a 4 game swing, and would have them as 9th seed play in team regardless.

Re: Wizards clapping the Hawks cheeks in ATL. Time to blow it up?
Not sure it’s able to be salvaged. Trae is what he is.
Trading Murray for whatever won’t make a difference. Maybe we’ll win 43 games then and get skull-fvcked in the first round.
Sounds fun.

I forgot the stupid way they let go of Budenholzer...still a good starter job but I would only sell it as a temporary thing.
