It’s safe to say the 2022-23 season hasn’t been the season the Atlanta Hawks have hoped for so far, now highlighted by the recent move to dismiss head coach Nate McMillan and GM Landry Fields’ comments after the decision to move on from McMillan.
Fields said that he believes the team is very talented and could/should perform a lot better, "Looking at our record, it is not acceptable."

The Hawks made the big move for Dejounte Murray over the summer but the addition hasn’t lifted the Hawks to the level they would have hoped heading into the season; a level higher than the 43-39 record that saw them have to fight through the play-in tournament before flatly falling in five to the Miami Heat, their flaws very much exposed.
