Hawks talk and more NBA intel

Enclosed is a show summary and links from my latest podcast visit alongside Turner Sports' Chris Haynes

The Atlanta Hawks just made this season’s second coaching change in the NBA.

Hawks guard Trae Young, as a result, will soon be playing for his third coach in five seasons … not counting Young’s current stint under interim coach Joe Prunty in the wake of Nate McMillan’s dismissal.

In the latest edition of our #thisleague UNCUT podcast produced by iHeartMedia, Turner Sports’ Chris Haynes and I discuss the Hawks’ coaching situation — as well as Young’s trajectory after his chilly reception from fellow players in All-Star voting — with Atlanta widely expected to hire former Jazz coach Quin Snyder as McMillan’s replacement.
