After reports surfaced that the Atlanta Hawks would be parting ways with their
general manager Wes Wilcox, the team released a statement stating there are no
changes to announce at this time.
“Hawks leadership is undergoing a period of evaluation and looking at how
basketball operations works best. There are no changes to report at this time
and any reports indicating otherwise are inaccurate.”
In an interview a few weeks ago, Hawks majority owner Anthony Ressler told the
Atlanta Journal Constitution he did not forsee the Hawks making any changes to
their front office structure. Mike Budenholzer remains the team’s coach and
President of Basketball Operations, though The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski
reported on Wednesday that Budenholzer has been discussing dropping the latter
role.
Wilcox was promoted to the role of general manager in the summer of 2015, and
the Hawks went a combined 91-73 during his tenure.
The Hawks have several decisions facing them this summer, but none as important
as what to do with Paul Millsap, who could opt out of his contract and become a
free agent.
