Of course the ATL
Fields is the fall guy for the Tony Ressler ownership group…he was elevated to GM after Travis Schlenk stepped down a couple years ago and has literally done everything the Hawks have asked him to do (including disastrous draft picks in AJ Griffin, who gave his life to the Lord and is a pastor now, and Kobe Bufkin, who’s always injured and sucks).

TLDR; I have no idea what the Hawks are doing

NBA teams just firing for fun now, he's not the best but don't think he deserved to get fired either. They have good young pieces there. I would blame the Hunter trade more on ownership being cheap than the GM.

It's damn near impossible to judge a GM from the outside looking in unless the owner is like some 89 year old wife of a former owner.

Nobody knows the dynamic with the owner, and they rarely (never?) go out and talk about how it was after they are fired.
The GM might "just" be the administrator while the owner is the shot caller.

Especially in the NBA where it's a lot less roster movements and every player is more significant than say baseball and football.

How the hell do you trade DeAndre Hunter to the Cavs?? :childplease:

That alone is a fireable offense

nasty work :hhh:

whether he was good or not seems to be irrelevant. He seemed to be a puppet

the hunter situation actually makes sense now as obviously from a team building sense you wanna keep a guy like that or already be shopping him before the season started. waiting until the eleventh hour before deciding they wouldn't want to pay the luxury tax for resigning him, and having to accept scraps from the cavs when a lot of other teams had already made moves is bad decision making.
