The reason the Terry Rozier trade hurts emotionally is he was literally the least of Charlotte’s problems.

The fact Steve Clifford has been coaching in the NBA for 25 years across six franchises would suggest that's not the case.

In total shock, as is the front office of the team. Pretty unprofessional from Atkinson to embarrass Charlotte like this. No problem with him not accepting the job but do it from the off, left Charlotte in the most difficult of positions now. Expect D’Antoni to be named shortly
ESPN Sources: Kenny Atkinson has decided he won’t become the Charlotte Hornets’ head coach and will remain with Golden State as top assistant. After being offered job during the NBA Finals, further conversations led Atkinson to believe it would be best to remain with Warriors.
