LP still the most talented HC we have had. More than Nate or Bud. Sadly, he couldn't gameday coach for shyt. I hope he gets a top asst job under an elite HC and learns how coach and understand personnel and getting the most out of players. That takes time and experience. He was trying to force guys to play his style.

The narrative on Trae is so lazy and disingenuous. New York fans have convinced themselves they last cause he got a bunch of cheap calls. He got 1 iffy call at best.
not to me he wasn't..he a milkdud headed fukk boy who alienated his best players and talked with a lisp..one of the worst coaches we had, he made larry drew look like a goat
He did do that as well. I don't know, I spoke to a lot of people within league circles and everyone praises LP talent level. Even Nate admired it.

You gotta explain this one bruh.
He's gifted.
Tremendous eye for talent
Work ethic
He understands the modern game exceptionally well
He knows what works and how it should be implemented.
Player development
Coaches planning prep
LP did a lot of good things that we still use to this day. The problem was his communication with players, using them to perform at their best and not to fit his system and most importantly, his gameday coaching was ass. He needed a lot more coaching development even though his talent level is tremendous.
That wasn't even an iffy call. It was a legit foul.

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
With all due respect, nah. He’s one of the worst coaches the Hawks have ever had. I hope he gets another opportunity somewhere and as a black man I hope he finds another gig but no he was terrible
I am not denying that. He was out of his element as the HC and struggled to adjust to his excellent rookie HC season considering expectations at the time.
The biggest issue with him was he was never a lead assistant or anything close to it. He was a player development coach and then finally moved up to becoming a defensive specialist or what they called coordinator. He wasn't on no one's radar for an interview much less coaching job till we hired him.
Within the industry, people seen this as the worst hire and a reach. After his rookie year, coaches felt LP could be a coaching superstar. Then he went to team USA and he blew them away. Most felt he had next. Part of the reason Trae gets it so negatively is coaches blamed Trae for this season till Nate took over.
I know us fans feel one way about it. Most of us really really dislike LP. Hell after the Boston game when Nate coached due to LP son being born, I was like, Nate needs to coach. He's getting shyt outta Cam that I haven't seen LP do in two years and Trae looks motivated. The Denver game solidified it. LP came back, back to the say BS, the Miami game was the last straw. I am not gonna hate on LP like that.
We wouldn't have any of these players if it wasn't for LP. Him and Travis works in unison. If LP didn't like them or want then even if Travis did, he removed them from the board.
Travis fell in love with JJJ as did Peterson, LP saw Luka and Trae and said they are much better for what he wants. He needed an ultimate playmaker and he felt in love with Trae the most. The scouts wanted JJJ. Thankfully Tony wanted Trae. Both loved Kevin.
Travis wanted Jarrett Culver. LP worked him out and said hell no but he worked out Hunter and LP not Travis told Hunter reps, we are taking you, close shop.
He saw Cam tape and was locked in as was Travis.
Both Travis and LP wanted Haliburton but Haliburton did not want to come to Atlanta. They also fell in love with Okongwu for the guys outside of the 3.
LP played a massive role in our hits. Let's stop shytting on breh
