And so the predictable happens, and the Blazers join the ranks of countless past teams who rebuilt through the draft only to piss it all away to please their impatient coach who wants a title without earning it.
Nate has proved to be totally inept at "teaching", especially in the PG department. No player on the team seems to have learned much since Nate arrived and his limiting of PT for our more athletic, creative players has cost us development as a team and window-time ain the contender department.
His total tanking in the playoffs was embarrassing and confusing for some of the players I'm sure, as he threw out the season's progress and failed to establish a lineup, an offense, or even a game plan for winning the series.
Rick Adelman made him look like a Mary Kay saleslady in the coaching department.
KP should have sent Nate down the road a year ago. Instead it appears Nate is now calling the shots and is systematically getting rid of KP's picks by limiting their PT and limiting their success.
Anyone who thinks Hedo is more valuable to this team than Sergio and Rudy would have been in the long run doesn't know the game.
I really thought KP could last but he's drunk the Nate Kool Aid now.
