    Blurb on ESPN.


    Must be the Ray Allen effect.

    Seattle was able to keep Ray Allen in town. But the Sonics couldn't keep head coach Nate McMillan from leaving. ESPN.com's Chad Ford reports McMillian has agreed to a five-year deal to coach the Portland Trailblazers.

    Former Seattle SuperSonics head coach Nate McMillan has agreed to five-year contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, league sources told ESPN Insider Chad Ford.

    McMillan was believed to be the Blazers' No. 1 choice all along, with the team also talking to former Blazers player and Bucks ex-coach Terry Porter and Phoenix assistant Marc Iavaroni.

    The Blazers appeared close to offering the job to Iavaroni in late June, with the caveat that they first wanted a shot at luring McMillan away from the SuperSonics. The New York Times reported Sunday that Portland is offering McMillan an annual salary of $6 million.

    McMillan had been given a deadline by the Sonics to decide his coaching future by the middle of this week.

    Must be the Sonics ownership acting like they have leverage when they don't.


    What now? Doug Collins?

    I had the official story, he just had an oral report which I heard at the same time, but I went to ESPN to copy and paste it for you guys to read.

    great for Portland I can't believe how bad this is for Seattle. They couldn't keep the best coach they have ever had. They suck, I can't believe you would pick Portland's jailblazer's over Seattle.

    I wonder how this will affect SAR to SA?

    Chad Ford said that Nate just did not like working with Rick Sund, the GM who signed an extension earlier in the year.

    I was wondering what could have made him leave a team that he spent his whole career with leave for a team that is building.

    At least McMillan doesn't have to move far lol. Portland and Seattle are so close he probably won't even have to sell his house.

    Um, I think Lenny Wilkens is the best coach they ever had.

    ^ good insight he must really hate the guy or something. Seattle and Portland probably have the same level of talent but this is still wierd.

    Wow thats huge for the Jailblazers. Nate is the best thing that could happen to that team in a while. He should be be able to instill some discipline in them and get them on th right track.

    Great move by Portland. For the above reason and for destroying the sonics.
