Abbott: Nate McMillan Could Be The Next Jerry Sloan

65

As a fan of the Portland Trail Blazers, Henry Abbott of TrueHoop likes to see coach Nate McMillan committing to the franchise's future... ---------------------- The NBA has barely adjusted to the idea that Jerry Sloan is no longer a head coach, and McMillan has long made his admiration for Sloan clear. McMillan has the personality to foster a Sloan-like 23-year relationship with his team. The fact that he has signed up for his seventh and eighth years in Portland are a nice sign that he thinks the Blazers might be capable of that kind of long-term commitment too. ---------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
