Players Questioned Jacque Vaughn’s In-Game Decisions

The ousting of head coach Jacque Vaughn came after their 50-point loss before the break, and some within the organization were concerned about his methods. For the players, they questioned his decision-making in games.

Players like Mikal Bridges voiced their frustrations and lack confidence in Vaughn’s coaching abilities. This did lead to management worrying about big talents not wanting to come to Brooklyn because of the former coach.

In a non-confrontational way, per Ian Begley, Spencer Dinwiddie spoke with Vaughn about having a defined hierarchy on offense. It appears there was no offensive leader or sense of who is supposed to be the “guy” on the team.

It was also reported Vaughn wanted to play the team through Ben Simmons, which got people confused.

In all of this reporting, Kevin Ollie was promoted to interim head coach.

This is the second time he has been fired in his coaching career. The first time was with the Orlando Magic mid-way through the 2014-15 season.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Atlanta Hawks have traded Kobe Bufkin to the Brooklyn Nets. The former 15th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft’s time in Atlanta comes to an end after two seasons.

Bufkin only appeared in 27 games out of a possible 164 games. Brooklyn only had to give up cash considerations to acquire the 21-year-old, as Atlanta created a new roster spot. The Nets also reached the minimum salary floor while maintaining $11.6 million in cap space.

During Bufkin’s rookie season, fans saw him absolutely dominate the G League. He averaged 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in 32.0 minutes in 14 games of action.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the stalemate between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors continue, but some progress has been reached.

Golden State has upped their offer to three years worth $75 million and does include a team option. This is an upgrade compared to the two-year, $45 million offer Kuminga recently declined.

One of the main reasons as to why Kuminga declined their last attempt was due to not enough money and a team option being for the second year.

As of late, the 22-year-old has been questioning whether the Warriors actually want him around their organization or not.

Kuminga is not budging off his stance of wanting a fully guaranteed deal, or a two-year deal that includes a player option.

His representatives did present the Warriors with a three-year, $88 million deal with a player option. However, Golden State is not comfortable with giving that much money to Kuminga, who they see as an up-and-down player, when they have other roster issues.
