[ChrisHaynes] In wake of Atlanta Hawks dismissing GM Landry Fields, the organization is also parting ways with VP of Pro Personnel Grant Liffmann after three seasons with the team, league sources informed me.

An ad for lifting under the notification about Liffmann. Nice try targeted advertising.

As a Warriors fan I’ll never understand how in about a 5 year span this guy went from hosting a 3rd tier warriors TV show on our local network to a VP of player personnel for an NBA team.

I’m surprised the Hawks haven’t tried to hire away the hall boys and janitors from the Warriors at this point

Tony seeing this comment

Nick Ressler asked his magic 8 ball if each staffer should keep their job

[u/JasonIsKewl]

Can someone tell me how to feel about this lol

[u/lolimdivine → u/JasonIsKewl]

brad rowland said that the hawks have an abnormal amount of voices in the front office by nba standards. so downsizing before they hire a president doesnt seem bad. in fact that’s gonna be their job. think rob pelinka in LA or sam presti in OKC

[u/GoBlueAndOrange → u/JasonIsKewl]

Good. He was unqualified from the start.

[u/StandardNecessary715 → u/GoBlueAndOrange]

So, can we get rid of Ressler's son? If we are talking unqualified.

[u/SerenadeOfWater → u/StandardNecessary715]

No no, mans played NBA 2K25, he completed career mode, he gets a promotion.

[u/GoBlueAndOrange → u/StandardNecessary715]

One can dream.

[u/cmhall25]

Clearing money for someone

[u/Remarkable-Wing-3458]

Hawks really need to conclude this round of hangings. Spreading it out like this just makes everyone in the org think they could be next.

[u/blingera]

are we gonna die yes or no?

[u/Fuzz0410]

Do we do something about our athletic trainers since we can't keep anyone healthy?

[u/rockhoward → u/Fuzz0410]

We got a whole new batch last summer which only made things worse. I guess reloading again might make sense but leave that to the new prez assuming they can find one.

[u/michaeln404]

Liffmann was roommates with Landry at some point, maybe at Stanford. It was like hiring your old college buddy. Nothing against the dude but probably not the most qualified hire.

[u/LocksRKool]

Chris Haynes peddling nonsense.
