The Atlanta Hawks' front-office shuffle continues to take shape.
Coach Mike Budenholzer has stepped away from his duties as president of the team, but will remain as head coach, according to multiple reports. Also, former general manager Wes Wilcox will stay with the organization, but in a different role.
ESPN reported Wednesday that the Hawks were expected to remove Wilcox from his role as GM, but it wasn't clear if he would take another position with the team. It appears now that he will.
The Hawks will apparently hire a new executive to oversee its operations. Both Wilcox and Budenholzer will report to whomever is hired, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Budenholzer was promoted to president of basketball operations after a 60-win season in 2014-15, when the Hawks earned the top seed in the East and reached the conference final before getting swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Budenholzer moved up after the team parted ways with general manager Danny Ferry, who largely assembled the roster with a number of deft trades and signings, only to be forced out after racially charged comments he made on a conference call about prospective free agent Luol Deng.
Wilcox was promoted to general manager, but the team hasn't come close to duplicating the success it had two seasons ago.
