    Former Portland and Seattle coach Nate McMillan has emerged as the front-runner to replace the fired Lawrence Frank and become the new head coach of the Detroit Pistons, according to sources familiar with Detroit's plans.

    The Pistons want to hire a proven head coach and are targeting McMillan, 48, who last coached the Blazers from 2005-06 until he was fired in the middle of the 2011-12 season. Previously, he coached the Sonics from 2000-01 until 2004-05. His overall record is 478-452, with his teams going 14-20 in the playoffs. McMillan has also been an assistant coach with Team USA under Mike Krzyzewski, when the U.S. won gold medals in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.

    Good spot for him. Well any spot outside of POR would be fine really.

    If the Kings move to Seattle, any chance he would get signed in Seattle?

    Now we'll get to truly see how bad of a coach Sarge is.

    By the way this was mostly said in jest. I think he will improve DET (at least at first).

    They'll probably overachieve, make the playoffs very soon after not making them for years, and their fans will have a meltdown over him.

    Oh wait, that was Portland...

    Would Nate choose CHA over DET? Probably not since I believe he already turned them down last year and they are still horrible.

    There is the local boy ties though...

    Re: Detroit Pistons are reportedly interested in making Nate McMillan their head coac

    I just back from a year long absence from this board, but I was wondering if anyone caught Nate McMillan on NBATV before the Warriors v Blazers season finally? Nate said that if he had Lillard then he'd still have a job in Portland. I thought it was pretty funny and wondered if anyone saw it.

    I think there was a thread here about it.

    I, for one, will miss Mediocre Man as he leaves Blazer fandom and becomes Piston Fan #1.

    I look forward to Eminem rapping about McScribbles. In fact, I might try to beat him to it.
