How many losses before Nate is fired?

Bringing in a new coach accomplishes one very important thing. It allows younger players like Smith, Williams and Babbitt to see if they fit with LA and Batum. Nate wont do that because he is trying to win and save his job. An assistant like Canalas would though under the instruction of upper management

 

And no GM to hand him his walking papers and conduct a search for a new coach. With no GM to do the dirty work, I don't see Paul having the balls to fire Nate himself. Maybe he can get Larry Miller to do it and call it a business decision.

if he goes 0fer the road trip, he just might get shitcanned

 

If only this team had more scrap and made their shots... I'm sure Nate tells them to, but they just won't listen! Why won't they listen????

The key to that is who is getting traded. If they can't make any trades while keeping their cap flexibility this summer, then I doubt Felton and Crawford will be happy sitting on the bench when they want to show case their ability to other teams. That would be a nightmare situation for Canalas. And if they do trade them then Nate would have no choice but to play the young guys.

Either way firing him mid season is bullshit. It says "yeah we screwed up with the players we got you, but sorry you are the one that is fired".

You might as well wait. It accomplishes nothing to do it now.

 

Plus we'll get a higher lotto pick with him at the helm. Yay!
