Jake Fischer: So, it’s not exactly a résumé for Landry Fields that’s riddled with mistakes or someone that, you know, kind of needed to be ousted — like in Sacramento or like in New Orleans — where both those two teams had legitimate playoff aspirations: for the Kings and for the Pelicans. So, this is a bit of a surprise. It took a lot of people inside Atlanta by surprise, like we said. And Landry Fields, to my understanding, was a pretty beloved figure in that front office. -via YouTube / April 29, 2025
