When Mike Budenholzer was hired as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks in 2013, there were natural expectations that a lot of what the San Antonio Spurs had historically prioritized would be seen in how the Hawks would play going forward.

The first set of transactions of the Schlenk era appear to support that at least in one specific way.
