Okay hire I suppose.

 

[Terry Yake]

he's a solid hire for a young team like the hornets

he didn't get enough credit for the job he did with the 18-19 nets

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

This is a great hire, he should have never been fired by the Nets. The extra GSW education doesn't hurt either.

 

[GKJ]

Womp womp

 

[Terry Yake]

can't blame him for not wanting to pass up a chance at another ring or two for first round exits. although he would've been the perfect coach for that hornets team

 

[GKJ]

He’s gonna wait for Kerr to need a break

 

[HisIceness]

They can still hire me as I already live here.

MJ will take that personally.

In all seriousness, I think Atkinson will regret it. I hope he doesn’t get any head coaching job offers ever again.

MJ will take that personally.

Apparently he is taking the news pretty hard.

 

[GKJ]

Jordan might take that personally, but it’s only a personal problem until he can run a team that’s actually competing for something.

He got a ton of praise & respect for his work with Brooklyn so I think he'll get more opportunities, especially being an assistant on that team. Luke Walton was an assistant there for 2 seasons and then got consecutive head coaching jobs.

Walton will never get a head coaching job offer again after getting exposed as nothing but a Steve Kerr reject.

Atkinson turning down a head coaching opportunity just to remain a bus rider with Steve Kerr will turn off a lot of executives. We don’t know the real reason why he had a last-second decision to stay with the Warriors but it does like he doesn’t have enough confidence to be the leader again. After all, he did get canned by Brooklyn.
