Cleveland, June 29
Cavaliers
It's official.
Atkinson or Atkinson (name)
has officially become the team's new
commander-in-chief
, the two sides agreed to a five-year contract. Atkinson's arrival marks a new era for the Cavaliers.
Atkinson previously coached the Brooklyn Nets for more than three years, and while the record wasn't stellar, he took over a team that was in a rebuilding phase and made progress each season. His patience and persistence laid the foundation for the team's future.
During the 2020-21 season, Atkinson contributed to the success of the Los Angeles Clippers as an assistant coach. He then joined the coaching staff of the Golden State Warriors as Steve Kerr's lead assistant coach and gained a wealth of experience over the course of two years.
It's worth noting that Atkinson briefly agreed to accept a head coaching position with the Charlotte Hornets two years ago, but ultimately he chose to stay with the Golden State Warriors. His choice to coach the Cavaliers this time around shows his confidence and expectations for this team.
Atkinson's coaching style focuses on teamwork and defense, and he emphasizes the tacit understanding and trust between players. His arrival will bring a new philosophy and tactical system to the Knights, and we look forward to him leading the team to new heights.
Overall, Atkinson's arrival is an important step in the Cavaliers' rebuilding process. We look forward to him leading the team out of the woods and back to being a powerhouse in the East. At the same time, we wish him success in his new coaching career and bring more joy and anticipation to Cavaliers fans.
