How do you know Nate isn't looking to see who to trade and who to keep this summer? How do you know that Nate isn't trying to figure out who really belongs (of the possible keepers) in the rotation next year? How do you know that Nash/Patterson hasn't told him to play certain players to up their trade value before the summer???? You don't!

Nate is the best choice for where this team is right now and where it needs to go.

To answer your questions

1. Nate doesn't make trades, PatterNash does.
2. PatterNash used high lotto picks to draft Telfair and Webster and I can't imagine management would be too keen on bypassing them because they are young in favor of two average at best players
3. Playing players like Blake and Dixon at this point in the season will NOT raise their trade value

Nate is the absolute wrong coach for where this team is now. This team is athletic and young, Nate likes to walk the ball up. He is a .500 coach at best throughout his career and was about to fired in Seattle before they had 1 really good year.

Now why again is he the perfect coach?
