Assistant Coach Discussion: McMillan And Brooks

This is what I thought also

What are they waiting for?

 

I like Alvin Gentry. I think he makes sense.

 

Good ones

 

responded in other thread, but should have here: glad to get both; good pickups. that's a lot of experience behind the newbie.

 

Very nice.

 

(…loud sigh of relief)

 

Finally! Great hires. Checks the two former HC box.




Brooks was best (still) available and I've always liked Nate. Good dude, think he's a great assistant and an ok HC. Plus given how it ended it ATL, makes Trae even less likely... ever.

 

Awesome

 

I needed this. It’s been a crappy offseason and was worried that Knecht was all we were able to talk about this summer lol

 

very solid

 

Good job Rob!

 

…time to settle the score once and for all.

 

Overall, solid hires. Like both of them better than Casey.

I wasn’t biggest fan of their coaching, for example I’m not sure how great of an X’s and O’s guy Scott Brooks is or if his reputation coasted off the skill of prime KD/Westbrook

But that’s not what we need from them in their roles. We just need their experience. The ability to offer words of wisdom to JJ about unexpected things that come with the HC territory to prepare for, even if it’s on the non-basketball side of things

But if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the rumor that Trae Young basically forced McMillan out of Atlanta? In my desperation from lack of roster movement, I was warming up to the idea of a Trae trade, but I imagine this hire might rule that out

 

So the FO is not bring cheap on assistants salaries?

I would imagine that these 2 being ex-HC's that they got decent money
