Re: Nate McMillan has been dismissed.
This kind of performance is a real indictment on Nate McMillan.
Unconscionable that we couldn't find any minutes on an injury riddled team for a proven vet.

Nate it seems could only play 9 guys per game, he actually said it was difficult to play more than 9.

His inflexibility with his game plan rotations was lacking. He would go into each game with a specific plan of who would get minutes and refused to alter it regardless of how the game unfolded.

It's the right words, just days late.
He needs a (better?) publicist.
This statement should have dropped the night Nate was let go on both his Instagram and Twitter.
Trae then should have sat down or ZOOMED with any ESPN/TNT Sports personality (Ramona Shelbourne or Kenny Anderson would be best) and express gratitude for all that Nate has done and acknowledge that he could have and should have approached things differently the last few months.
If these things had been done within 24 hours, it would have silenced a lot of the negative chatter that filled up the last 2 days.

No he shouldn't. That's for the offseason.

Re: Nate McMillan has been dismissed.
^^Well, as a result of saying nothing for days, the criticism of him has run rampant. And, yet again, Trae looks like a poor leader in comparison to Dejounte and John.
Not a great look for a franchise player.

Re: Nate McMillan has been dismissed.
Doesn't matter what he says...people's minds have already been made up since his SL struggles. So he can't win. Has he had some misteps - sure.
He just needs to let his play on the court speak. Not every 'best' player on the team is a great leader out the box, sometimes they need to grow into that role.

Re: Nate McMillan has been dismissed.
Outta the box!?!?!?...
It's year 5.
If we can pay him $200+ million to play basketball, surely he can afford a publicist to maintain his image prevent unforced errors like this.
The stench on him is starting to effect the franchise now.

Re: Nate McMillan has been dismissed.
I'm confused now, was Nate not deserving of getting canned. Did he not try to quit several times this season. He gladly took the 4 year contract w/o a proper vetting process, but wants to quit in the middle of it.

Many of us had high hopes with the addition of the holiday brothers. All that was ruined.Jamaaliver wrote:This kind of performance is a real indictment on Nate McMillan.

He's an absolute joke.
Anybody can same the same about me too. I just don't have many positive things to say about Trae and I hope my perspective of him changes soon.

Hell, I had very modest hopes for the Holiday Boys...and I still ended up disappointed.

Exactly! Let's just waste the time of our high draft picks. Our team needs to improve greatly in all aspects.jayu70 wrote:Just incredible. These players still need development.
