A rather random choice but at least they don't have to worry about "parting with a legend" since he never played for them if he were hired and it didn't work out.

Report: Atlanta Hawks will interview Chauncey Billups for GM opening

Mike Budeholzer recently stepped down from his dual role as coach and GM of the Atlanta Hawks. That has left an open position for Atlanta as they approach the 2017 NBA Draft and free agency, both of which are barreling down on us.

The Hawks are gathering candidates for the open GM spot, and one surprise option appears to be former NBA veteran Chauncey Billups.

Billups, 40, has no executive experience but has expressed interest in being part of team leadership in the past.

Via ESPN:

The interview is expected to occur Tuesday in Los Angeles, sources say, and it is believed the organization isn’t looking to drag out the hiring process.

ESPN’s Marc Stein previously reported the Hawks have already interviewed Washington Wizards vice president of basketball operations Tommy Sheppard and Golden State assistant general manager Travis Schlenk.

The Hawks are facing Paul Millsap‘s unrestricted free agency this summer, and have the 19th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. They also have a second round pick acquired from the Brooklyn Nets.

I like Chauncey, he seems like a smart guy and I could see him being good.
