If things play out the way it should, Eric Musselman will be saying good-bye to the Atlanta Hawks and the players he has spent two years motivating, encouraging, and developing into a team primed for success this season.

He should be packing up and heading back to the West Coast, where he spent his college days, to take over the head coaching job for the Golden State Warriors.

He is everything a lost franchise like the Warriors need to organize, motivate, and focus a young team full of talent and guide them out of the depths of the West.
