There has been some drama ensuing in Atlanta as the Hawks get rid of their head coach Nate McMillan. And a lot of fans and analysts have been speculating that Hawks star Trae Young is the reason why the Hawks got rid of their former head coach. So, when a talk show host tried to hold Young accountable for that, the two-time All-Star lashed out on social media, giving out ruthless responses.

One of the reasons Nate McMillan was fired was due to the poor start to the season. Despite trading for All-Star Dejounte Murray from the San Antonio Spurs, the Hawks are still in the eighth position in the Eastern Conference with a 31-30 record.

Trae Young absolutely lashed out

Nate McMillan was a big reason why the Hawks managed to make it to the Eastern Conference finals a couple of years ago. The Hawks defeated the New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers before finally falling to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Although, the poor start to the season is not the sole reason why McMillan was fired. The friction between him and Hawks star Trae Young was also a big reason why the franchise got rid of its head coach.
