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?
1. Nate apparently is supposed to have some say in the trades that are being made.
2. So if Telfair and Webster are givens, then who is going to man the bench? It would make sense that he'd be trying to figure out whom he can utilize next season.
3. If their trade value is abysmally (sp) low, then yes it can. Besides, despite your obvious infatuation with Telfair's game, what makes you think they'll keep him? It's my summation that as soon as he becomes a FA he's gone to the East coast...

What proof do you have that Nate likes to walk the ball up? Are you positive that is his end-result style of play?

I won't even go into Nate's coaching history.

I'm just saying that many people are presuming they know all the facts. THEY DON'T. We all have opinions and I can tell from your postings you are incredibly frustrated with the team. We all are, except for those people who sold short.
