Ok, he's probably giving stock standard answers, maybe a little extra heavy, to weigh down any hype. However given that McMillan has expressed his wishes that adding more vets should be the Blazers main concern this offseason... Nate sure does seem to be describing a long term project. This wouldn't go down to well with Fernandez. http://blog.oregonlive.com/blazers/2008/06/video_nate_mcmillan_on_rudy_fe.html <table style="border:0px; padding:0px;"><tr><td><font style="font-size:13px; font-family:Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-color:#293546">Blazers coach Nate McMillan on Rudy Fernandez</font></td></tr><tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tribeca.vidavee.com/advance/trh/embedAsset.js?vtagView=on&embedded=yes&showEndCard=off&loadStream=off&autoplay=off&width=470&height=352&vtag=yes&startVolume=50&hidecontrolbar=no&textureStrip=yes&displayTime=yes&volumeLock=off&watermark=yes&skin=v3AdvInt_oregonLive.swf&link=http://videos.oregonlive.com/oregonlive/2008/06/blazers_coach_nate_mcmillan_on_1.html&dockey=7961295F648BF6D4AC84F9858A76E869"></script></td></tr></table>
I don't think so ... the video seems pretty standard really. I think he's just trying to keep the pressure off an NBA rookie -- doesn't sound like a coach who wants to trade him to me.
