FO a buncha fools.if they don't hire Iggy on as an assistant coach at least.

If there’s only one thing you can say positively about this current FO regime, they’re loyal to the people who got them to where they are, down to hiring Livingston and Barbosa and getting Iggy back in the first place. I’m pretty sure once he retires he’ll at least be offered some sort of job.

There's a non-zero chance that Kerr won't physically be able to coach. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will grind his spine into dust doing 41+ travel games.

I actually think Dantoni would be great for this team for 2 years, get them to be a fiesty ~50 win team, then hand it off to someone who can be the more longer term option.

The problem with D'Antoni (which, I admit, depends on how he approaches the job) is that they need to invest serious effort in developing Bouknight, Kai Jones, JT Thor, Jalen McDaniels, and their (hopefully) three draft picks this year to build anything sustainable. The worst thing for this team would be pressure from both the coaches and the owner to make win-now moves

Tangentially, FO a fool if they don't hire Iggy as an assistant with strong consideration towards being HC at some point.

Iggy is going into venture capital, if his statements on Draymond's post-Game 6 show are to be believed.

He absolutely cares. This is what the majority of fandom looks like. His posts are like if I wrote down a conversation with a coworker.

The internet is a microcosm and this thread even more so. You can't assume everyone talks about sports in a level headed manner. Most people like sports for extreme pride or unrelenting poo poo talk. I think it's kind of weird he gets chain banned but only in the sense that yeah it's lovely to read his brick wall posts about Lebron but if you were to point that out in real life in a group of people talking sports everyone would look at you sideways. What I'm saying is thank you NBA N/V for being cool

He didn't start posting here until he got threadbanned from the rap thread after he randomly decided his whole thing was gonna be posting about Drake/Pusha T in the most annoying way possible. Then he just did the same gimmick but about Steph Curry/LeBron. He's a middle aged guy on the other side of the planet willing to spend $50 to annoy people online for a day. Fandom's got nothing to do with it.

My guess is that Lacob/Kerr said "hey man we'll match your salary, you can win more rings, develop these young guys we got, and you can take over when Kerr retires after Steph goes" or something.

I think it’s also actually possible that one of his teenage kids had a breakdown at being moved for the third time in three years and Atkinson belatedly decided that family mattered more than taking this job. He already makes a couple million a year with the Warriors.

The one barbershop in my (and Mike's) hometown used to put up a jersey of whatever team he was coaching.

The guy who owned it passed away from COVID in 2020 and I'm not sure if the new owner will maintain the tradition with a Hornets jersey.

I hope so though.

I think this is a definite thing, and Steve Kerr mentioned it to a degree in a parade interview when asked why Atkinson decided to stay.
